Warp Creation/Destruction Events

Makinus · #1 August 21st, 2007, 09:14 AM

So i�ll need some other way to implement my idea.....

Maybe an altered SpaceMonsters race with only one kind of Super-Stealthed monster with warp opening capacities and huge movement rates (30 or so), i�ll leave the closing of the warp points to the events files...

Any suggestions on how i create the SpaceMonster so it don�t attack the other empires, the players (and the AI) can�t attack it (stealth?), and it roams the quadrant opening warps?

thanks

Put a sector-cloak ability on it.

That can't be turned off, and nobody will be able to see it.
If it flies over your homeworld, your homeworld will dissappear temporarily too

But would it keep roaming the quadrant? Or, even don�t being able to turn off the cloak, it would keep going after player/AIs units and planets?

It wouldn't try to attack the players. Warp Point openers don't do that.

However, the AI to open warp points might not quite get the result you are looking for.

Last I remember it was more like: go to adjacent system to home system, open as many WPs as you can, idle the rest of the game.

Still might be worth a try.
