Just a few questions before I finish my Trilogy Maps Options

[Jpmaarten]

Hi, I am new here and I would like to know some things about what a TS Player likes in a Skirmish map and in a Singleplayer map.

First of all, what do you guys think of getting structures in a Multiplayer map, because I made the map so that you get a small base from the start ( Barrack, 2 powerplants, radar and some defence ).

My map Trilogy is a NOD Mission, GDI Mission and a Multiplayer map. But they all have the same map with slight differences...

The NOD mission takes place first in the Timeline and you destroy the GDI Base.
The GDI mission is second in the Timeline and there you build up the base again and destroy all NOD forces.
The Multiplayer map is last in the Timeline and the city is ruined and you both get a base of your team that is remaining after the battle...

I have not yet tested the Multiplayer map online, because somehow TS won't connect to other players online... But I think the Map can't be playe Online Because I made it so that if you play skirmish against the Computer, the Computer is always the opposite team as you are...

And I would like to know if you like hills, cliffs, roads with moving vehicles etc... oh and there already is a train...

EDIT: I have just learned that when you are playing the multiplayer map online against someone that is the same team as you, the color that you have decide's who gets the base ( example: If your GDI than the color Yellow is always the one getting the base, for NOD this is Red. Another Example is that Orange GDI gets the Base over red GDI because Orange looks more like yellow. Not yet sure about this though)

Yes, but did you ever looked at the bilboard that stood next to the base

And a few things I didn't deleted yet, are going to be deleted in the final version. Such as the strange pavement tiles SW of one of the Starting Points, since I only used them for copy/paste inside the maps.

And for the near starting points, yes they're a bit close. The West one should actually be in the NE corner, but I tried this startingpoint for the terrain trigger.

As far as the lightning is concerned, it is a trigger error. It always targets that startingpoint eventhough I selected another waypoint in Final Sun.

And I will add alot of more triggers, because I always thought TS needed a map wich you could actually enjoy when your going to do a comp stomp.

Lighting...yes I didn't find the lighting I needed yet...

And the bilboard for the terrain was just something I wanted to try out. The ones near the bases are more important however since it required a GDI player destroying it to trigger the base owning trigger. This way, the map does not crash.
In the past I had both triggers for NOD and GDI in elapsed time event, but if there was not a NOD player then the game would crash.

This isn't fully discoverd yet, but I'm still on the search...

Oh and not all triggers are easy to discover as you missed alot of them

I'm actually glad you did eventually post this because I was kind of...angry that none of the two I gave my BETA actually took the time to review it for me.

Well Thx for the review and I'll work on it today and tomorrow


EDIT: I already fixed all the cliff and shore errors, and I'm taking another look at the triggers
