easy survival logic set up?

Postby canadianchuck » Tue Jun 07, 2011 7:40 am

what would be the easiest way to make a quick and dirty logic for a survival scenario?
just endless waves or just a straight flow of enemies that never ends.

edit-
i tested a little.
i understand how to create units using 2 ghosts and a couple triggers.
now all i need to do is make a counter so my game doesn't die from the huge amount of enemies that spawn(it seemed they stopped spawning because of a level cap i didn't know about)

Hi chuck,
Every trigger can fire only once or have a reload time for when it fires again.
You can set it directly in the trigger options the time you want between each reload.
And yes, there is an enemy cap.
You can stop the trigger from firing forever with another event that turns it off.

We will start posting tutorials as soon as we get over the launch of the game, until then keep asking and we will reply.

Not at the moment, but we are adding that as a response in the patch we are working on right now. You can for the time being emulate that using timers and turning the trigger on and off.

We can't give an exact date because it still has to go through Sony before hitting the server, but as soon as we get more info we will share it here in the forum.
