Hey Fede-lasse,

I'm entering the Indie Game Challenge by Gamestop, and this engine helped me out. Thanks alot, i promise to give you credit!

[stupidskull]

is there a version for gm 6?

[Fede-lasse]

good job. except when your units die out, the bad guys stop moving. thats not really a bad thing though. Atleast no error lol.

That's meant to happen.

Fede-lasse, how can I modify the engine so that I can have multiple Enemy players, fighting against each other as well as against the player's army? Need Help ASAP!

Let's say there's a blue, red, and green team, with the red being the player controlling that team. You make the blue team's units check whether they're encountering a red OR green unit, red units check whether they're encountering a blue OR green unit, and green check whether they're encountering a blue OR red unit. See where I'm going? It's that simple

Err... I can't help you there.

Thanks, and good luck

No, but you can convert the GMK to GM6 using LateralGM.

could you make a version avalible for use in the lite version?

I wouldn't, especially now when the lite version of GM8 is gonna be even more crippled >_>

I've downloaded it and I like it. The one thing that I wanted to learn is how to make the units not enter into each others space. I cannot understand what code you are using.

I have tried the bounce function and it works except its too glitchy and sometimes the units get stuck on a place and then teleport to the goalx and goaly.

Im using the built in grid method and using path_start to start the selected unit(s) moving. Im am stuck here and cant figure out how to make it more smooth. I tried understanding the script you use for movement but not sure how its working and how to modify it to fit my code.

Everything in my code is working except for the part where units enter into each others space.

you should really make an RTS building example as awsome as this !

I have used your basic code structure as the skeleton for my RTS game. However, there is an error whenever you move. The tank (in my case) stops after moving to an area, and doesn't move for 2-3 seconds. Then, however, without moving forwards it rotates in place so that it isn't facing the direction it had stopped at when it got to that area. I thought it was a problem with you mp_move script, but I tried to tinker with it, to no avail. Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

I'm pretty sure the code behind that is in one of the collision events in obj_unit. It's been a while since I checked out the RTS engine.

The 2-3 second pause may be an alarm that's bugged, but the rest doesn't make sense to me. Sorry.

this sounds like a great example, except that I cant download anything from mediafire for some reason, my computer browser keeps blocking it and I cant allow it, a mirror download would be great.

[Fede-lasse]

Here you have it.
