Fantasy Friday XV - The Scenario Design Editor

Also, if units do perchance get stuck somehow, you can detect it and teleport them out.

you should get air condition or at least a window, sitting in that dark cellar will eventually decrease the amount of oxygen.

Or you could launch a few goblins in to deal with the situation .

*has woken up*
I suppose I should get outside more often...

Anyways, there's a feature to detect "unit stuckness"? Would it be possible to just press a button in the editor so that it highlights the areas in which this happens?

[Alex Walz]

No, but I think you guys are overreacting to "unit stuckness." In all games, it is a possibility but only a very, very small possibility. I've never heard of it happening to any of our designers.

The only cause I can think of for getting a unit stuck is if you build a stronghold with narrow alleyways and backends and script the NPC units to patrol the stronghold where one could potentially corner you into a deadend. But as long as you keep your patrols moving and try to keep your alleys at least two units wide, there's really no reason to worry about getting units stuck.

The terrain editor seems very user friendly but at the same time powerful. I love the terrain blending idea and also the "invisible wall and bridges" idea. It really opens up the possibilities. For unit editing and stuff you guys should have a look at the Warcraft 3 world editor, it does a FANTASTIC job at that part (they have a VERY bad terrain editor so dont pay attention to that). In wc3 world editor you can edit almost EVERY aspect of a unit.

Anyways once again your terrain editor seems truly epic and i cant wait to try it out
