Hoth Battlefields map almost done, any indeas for to add?

Post by wookieejedi »

I am making an accuate to the movie Hoth Map. Rebels fighting in the trenches, with unstoppable ATATs firng down on them.

I am almost done and was wondering if anyone wanted to give any ideas on what they would like to see in a map like this, or if they want to get the beta.

If you do add tunnels, don't get too carried away. Large networks of such would probably be confusing, monotonous, and might be source of slowdowns.

As far as suggestions go, I must first ask how is the map balanced. Are both sides supposed to have a chance? Or are the rebels all supposed to die horribly like the movie?

"Unstoppable ATATs" makes me think the Empire will win this without effort...

as the name suggests this is only the Field part of the battle, not actually the tunnels

The emipire has only a certain amount of time to destroy the sheild generator, and then rebels win,

also there is only vehciles as in the movie no stormies were on the field, but you can still be them, you can also be DARH VADER and don't woory the AI will not be him! has block, attack, and choke/push

I am trying to post screens but the internet won't let me for some reason, any way

The scripting I made the AI actaully use the trenches and fire at the ATATs with guns, also made custom sides

As for the map there a 7 ATATs 5 Atst 4snowspeeders, don't worry they resapwn fast, and 175 rebels in the trenches all at once, with two very long trench lines and two small side trenches on hills, lots of guns too, both Rebel CPs destroyable

any more ideas?

How did you manage to stop the AI from spawning as Vader?

If you say "Number by the unit in the LUA", then perhaps it's possible... but I haven't tested it yet.

You should try it for your Main game mod.

I made the lua

0 for everyone except pilots, then the code sets in and only piltos spawn, but sometimes it makes storm troopers spawn but i put vader in Drk Troops class and they haven't spawned as him yet

I did try it. However, there can only be five units, and it was at the expense of the special unit. There was a seven-unit mod but it was never released.

When the stormies spawned, did you have enough spaces for the pilots? If there are 40 units, but only 35 pilots allowed, then the AI will default to picking the first unit class it sees. It won't, however, pick any classes below it.

I made piltos spawn 30 and had the lau set at 30, but stromies still spawned so I just threw a soldier barrier up so it works
