mines

[The Big Mc]

Right lets play a game I will show you this picture and I want you to tell me what happens next.

The enemy subs blow up on the mines, possibly damaging all the stack, or killing one unit in the stack. Maybe distributing a certain amount of damage randomly amongst the 12 units.

And if you've done it well, the mine is also destroyed, costs a phenomonal amount of PW to replace, and allows the other enemy subs to come swarming through to attack you.

And if you've done it *really* well, the AI will not only know that they should avoid the mines, and how to avoid the mines, but will also know how to *use* the mines to their own advantage.

[The Big Mc]

Well at the moment the ship sub is randomly destroyed with 6 of the unit on the screen getting throw.

However you random damage is just as easy to do.

Also the mine is destroyed after all the mine represents a mine filed and not a mine on it own (and if any ship hits that one mine they wanted shooting anyway) there is a random chance that a path is found in the mines allowing safe transport removing the mine (alternatively just make a mine sweeper and send that in).

Also I am working on a way for the ai to work around the mine.

Are the mines invisible to the other players?

[HuangShang]

it'll be good to see mines

BTW, is that a mod that makes the screen a different color?

[The Big Mc]

unfortunately there is a bug which means air units also blow up. so without a isairunit function in slic I will have to do the if statement from hell

plush after this I will start work on pillar boxes and then with any look Sam sites

Oh and HuangShang it is a mod and it is located to words the back in the space scenario thread.

hack it from Dale's airunit slic

[The Big Mc]

were is dales airunit.slic

[Immortal Wombat]

Many places. The directory, Dale's AoM/SAP site, included in MedMod, Cradle, SAP, WAW, AoM, and countless other places I'm sure.

If you still can't find it, I think the default game version is still available here.

[Martin Gühmann]

Well for the airunits.slc I would go for the version you find in GoodMod, I debugged it so that you can now use it in DebugSlic=Yes mode without any problems.
