A few questions before i get started
« on: 26 October 2008, 13:09:31 »
Hi im new to the glest engine and before i start on making my game i have a few questions.
Im not looking for tutorials or how to impliment these at the moment i just want to know if they are possible with this engine.

1. can i make units change stats/models depending on its health?
i.e if i have a zombie unit and his health reaches less than 50% the model changes to a zombie with no legs and his movement speed is halved.

2. can i make bonuses for large groups of units?
i.e if there is a group of 10 units in a given area there defence is increased

3. can i use multiple textures on the same unit type in game.
i.e you spawn 2 zombie and while the model is the same the textures are different/random

Thanks in advance guys
Damien

I agree with Kukac. I don't think any unit stats change based on status yet.

Yes you can...quick repeated attacks with little attack damage.  And an appropriate model to fit the purpose.

Maybe I speak stupidness, but isn't the lich's attack is poison effect (which causes negative regeneration on the target)?

I think it might be possible in GAE, but not in real Glest.
