FootWar Riots [FWR]

[JAO]

Descriptions:
Inspired by American Football. These (1v1) multi-player maps are like playing Football. Only this is WAR! Hence "FOOTWAR," the RIOTS comes in when all hell breaks loose. Kind of like at those infamous international Soccer games when the fans goes crazy and mob the field.

Bonus* 2v2 FootWar Riots now ready for action. Each team gets an offensive and defensive formations. Just like the real Football, the offensive line goes against the defensive line.

As far as I can tell, I have done everything correctly to the best of my knowledge. After playing the map, there are 2 issues I would like to address on my map that I do not know how to fix.

1) The mini map on the bottom right is way too LARGE as compared to BoT mini map.

2) The processors seems to lock up after awhile. It does not want to except any more galaxites, even though my cash is empty. Could this be a glitch because I do not allow any storage to be built. As far as I know, if a processor has reached its max limits, the garage door are open, but this is close.

Those r interesting glitches, did u restrict how bug the map is? That might make the map bigger otherwise I have no clue how a minimal can change in size, as for the processors do u have any mining triggers with time limits? If u do I think that could be the problem.

[JAO]

If there is a mining trigger, I did not touch it.

• Mini map on the bottom right has been resize. I fixed it by resizing the "Boundary" of the building map from 62x62 (WxH) to 62x42 (modeling this after BoT).
  
  Warehouses can be built now, to see if the processors will keep on accepting Bullpup.
  
  I Defog the whole map, so that each players can see the "FootWar" field. The build area inside the wall is design to imitate the field goal area.
  
  Units are limited because it is a small map, to keep the game from ending under 3 real time minutes, which is about 6 minutes at 2X game speed.
  
  This map won't play on for hours. Upgraded VT gets an upgraded Bullpups increase speed to max as fast as the Eagles. Upgraded HR gets Rocketmen.

Enjoy! I'm working on a Desert theme, "Nickel Defense" Formations on the same "FootWar Riots" playing field concept.

Tested and proven to be working just fine.

After galaxites have been all mined, bullpup can not find galaxites will trigger 20 Andies to spawn for both sides on I-Formations. The preserve trigger will keep on recycling until 20 Andies have been spawn near the HQ.

The 20 Andies are set on PITBULL mode and will automatically seek and destroy the enemies. **Your Andy might not spawn if all of your bullpup has been destroyed, or your units built have been maxed to the limit already, or the space where Andy is suppose to spawn is full (I will expand that area to eliminate this).**

Conclusion: My triggers work, when all galaxites have been mine, 20 Andies will spawn. This is a JAO feature to keep the game from dragging on forever. Every map design by JAO will have this feature, all of them should work the same way, unless I overlook something.

Enjoy!

iv heard that this only happens when the unit limit has been reached, this causes the new bullups or new processors to not react with one another, those that were created before the unit limit was reached will continue to operate normally, I hope I just fixed that problem, and it appears to be a generic glitch, cheers

[galm]

I believe the andys can still spawn with the area being smaller.

[JAO]

Thanks Galm, either way Andy will spawn. Just as long as your units are not max out already. Plus with the preserved trigger, Andy will keep on spawning 20 at a time everytime a bullpup goes into the processor and comes out triggering the bullpup can't find galaxites.

Although this feature was design to end the game and not create a stalemate, it will actually create the very scenario of finite plays that I was trying to avoid. Luckily, this scenario will not be reached, 99.9% of the time the game will end before any galaxites will be totally gone or even if it does, there should be so much battling going on someone surely will be demolished.

No more preserve trigger for Andy Spawn. Also they are set on Defender mode NOT Pitbull now.

Bullpup increase speed never did work. I try to play around with the triggers but it was getting too complicated.

[LawrenceA]

Hey jao, I figered out how to use pvars and they're basically advanced triggers, not as glamarous as I thought they would be

[JAO]

Ok, what does it do?

[LawrenceA]

They can do stuff like counting the number of times a unit goes somewhere, or they can change your rank ect

[JAO]

am...ok, I'll leave that alone for now.

Well, folks, I think I am a compulsive updater with my maps or I'm just a perfectionist. After playing Nickel defense, I notice that there were 2 missing wall link on the bottom left map where the mini map is.

I have to fix that for sure, so nobody can build underneath the mini-map. On top of it all, I have down graded all Andy from Pitbull to Defender to now Self-Defense. For the purpose of being able to control them and not having them running loose all over the place.

Wish me luck, this should be the final upgrades for FootWar Riots, perfection has been achieved.
