Topic Subject: A Proud Banner Indeed.
posted 12-10-03 09:06 AM EDT (US)   
Take a look at this...

Banner Kills -the banner hard to see says "17 Kills"

By looping a trigger with the effect unit name; banner. And naming the banner; /#PA0001 Kills(for example), a Building or object will display the amount of kills or some other player attribute. Thus keeping a running total for ease and visual effect.

/#PA0001 - stands for "Player Attribute" condition number 0001(when u checkmark the number the listings, conditions, effects, objects and areas will be numbered so they can be referenced by this feature).

The player attribute(0001) in this case is condition player 1' units killed = x(does not matter which number u enter just leave it blank).

You're very good at figuring out the best tricks with the editor. The map editor isn't up to par though, so I won't be designing much. Although, as you have pointed out with your discoveries, the triggers are quite good.

Can you make a huge article with all your tricks in it?

_o0XxX0o_ is fantastic when comes to figuring out new innovative things for editors. He was a credit to the Empire Earth design community and he is a credit to the Empires community.

Could someone just ban Guardian or somthn?
And dang!!! nice one _o0XxX0o_! I wish I knew this one workin on the Lineage wars...

I am working on another multiplayer scenario, and I wonder...is it possible to have a banner which displays # of Troops player has, and # of Gold? So that if a person sneaks a spy into enemy town he will see thie info above the town center or somthn.
Thanks.

Thanx all - Empire Earth editor was not all that bad, It was leagues above aoe/aok editor, avoiding all the redundant trigger laying. Still, the fact that there were so many complaints about fixing the EE editor was a testament to the fact that the EE editor was worth fixing...Empires editor has gone many steps further.

*yes DeKont, make player attribute; "Player x's gold", or "Player x's army count" instead.

Why, because I quite rightly got pissed at LD's behavior?

Since when is _o0XxX0o_ LD?

Nice stuff, I'll add to the recourse library.

guardian just because you can't work out how to set up your own forums don't go round saying i promised you anything. refer to my post in the scnnet forums if you really want to talk about promises. You're probably the most selfish person in the world, you expect me to drop everything in my life just to set your crappy team some forums up, get a life.

I expect you to tell me you're busy rather than flame me out of town.

That's the point, whenever you asked when the forums would be done i would tell you i don't have much time and when i did get some time it would get done.

Comeon, honestly, between you and me, you never did that. You never once mentioned you were busy. You mentioned me being the boss and how I was being good this week...lol.

Honestly now. I can't imagine living under scn network's "net". You're horrible LD!

You can't imagine the trouble I went through convincing the team that scn network was an amazing place to be hosted- well now that can laugh at my stupidity, but atleast I made the right choice.

I had trouble with my electronic credit card at first but its all fixed now anyhow.

Might be me, but isn't this the exact same thing Hank explained in another thread?

yes, it is, but no one thought to use it on a banner...although it does not work on rename civ.

Gaurdian actually used to be permanently banned. But since he kept smurfing and changing his emails and IP adresses, he was unbanned, I think.

Well I was talking to Kman, and he was like "what do you do?" and I was like "Oh, I act, go to school, dance, sing, play soccer and stuff. What do you do?" and he was like "AntiAmi." so I figured hey, it's an occupation. - Ultima_Knight

Gaurdian and LD, if you can't get along that's fine, it's not fine to continually wreck threads with stupid arguments. Just ignore each other, please?

lol @ guardian..

Complaining about the empires map editor, whilst your beloved rise of nations editor is the most horrible map editor in RTS history, and BHG is still reluctant to fix it.

i believe you're in the wrong forum.

Now, back on topic.. That's a nice little trigger, it would be nice in blood games. Perhaps more people will get into making more multiplayer maps after seeing things like this.

I'm glad to see _o0XxX0o_ doing what he does. Whether some of it ever gets used or not isn't the point, but finding new and cool things with the editor (Or even stuff that is known, but used in a way people never thought of) helps everyone in the community. At the very least you can say it's positive and productive for the design community.

Gaurdian seems to enjoy complaining. Its not that i hate u gaurdian, its just that u've become, well, to put it as lightly as possible, a d**khead. Sorry to be the one to tell u this, but its true man. Don't go and flame me for this, i'm just informing u cause i reckon, probably like me, that ur gonna get banned again.

I might as well let you know I haven't replied in this topic for quite a while, and expressing your criticism about a dissapointing game won't get me banned.
