I have almost given up on my TPS map, I can not get the shooting to work on a 3d plane. What ever... Your map looks AMAZING cant wait to play.

Thats what I use. Every 0.001 seconds issue order to (your guy) to turn facing (camera yaw of player 1) It looks and works fine, but you might have to check if he is reloading/shooting before turning or whatever.

I made it so when you shoot the guy stops moving automaticly. But perhaps you could seperate the top and bottom of the unit with a turret type of thing, liek the immportal. And then the top half could reload/shoot independently while the bottom half moved around or stood still. That would be awesome, but I have no clue how to do it.

He said it would not be on battle net. Meaning its single player with CPU'S until blizzard fixes lag. But it looks like he set it up for mutliplayer so it can be easily modified if blizzard fixes the lag.

Is spaceship gunner going to ever come out? Also, whenever I try to run waterworks or the zerg maps you made, I get a syntax err from one of your codes.

@terricon4:

I dont have 3ds max, and I'm not going to buy it... oh well =[

Cant wait for this map!

Swaping the weapon on his back is alreayd in there by defualt, I am using it in my own map. But you might be right.. I tried to  find the reload animation he used and could not... I did not realize you could import extra models into sc2 editor yet. It was easier with wc3..go to hive workshop, pop the model into map. The end...lol

@TerranHegemon: Go you open it in the galaxy editor and hit test map....

I sent you a PM, malu05, please help me out... =]

I wish blizzard would really fix this. They gave us this incredible editor but we cannot upload it to their own server without it dying from lag. But this would still be good for single player.

Oh and I heared about zombie master, but I dont own hl2 so i couldnt play it. =[ but you are right, it would work well in sc2

I still must know...are you going to something awesome and make a tutorial about the aiming process used uin the map...because that would be awesome!! And what reload animation did you decide to use?

@GunGryphon: Go

Can anybody make a simple tutorial about tracelines. There is one already but it does not explain everything.

he said he would release it soon on sc2mapster. But hey are you going to make a tutorial? (you said it would be out soon, not sure if you were referring to that or the map) There is only one tutorial on mouse aiming and its very complicated...

Wow...I cant wait for the tutorial, keep up the good work! edit- somebody should put this on the news page, its very cool. Im just shocked that we are able to d othis kind of stuff with an RTS ENGINE!!! Seriously, galaxy editor is crazy powerful.

What animation did you use for reload? right now Im just having my guy put the gun on his back and take it back off, but I sort of wanted to use that for weapon swap. By the way Im using both the specter and ghost (At least, Im going to try to use both) since they seem to have the same animations.

edit- hey I was right! they did add it to the front page!

Alright, but will you cover that in your tutorial? Im not sure how to even start..Im thinking of doing it with just triggers but now Im not sure If I should do it with missiles instead.

Woa thats much better, thank you! Sorry for all the questions, but for the flashlight, did you have to do anything special? I cant get it to work. I have the flashlight behavior on my unit but there is no light showing, or at least, I cant see it.

edit- never mind, my graphics were set to low...In the tutorial, you should explain the aiming system in good detail. Im trying to use this one http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/1626-trigger-how-to-target-with-mouselook-tracelines/#posts

but I am clueless...I would love a tutorial..Let me know as soon as you finish it!

Well...I got the camera for my TPS working, but its very very clunky looking. Because Im panning it instantly every 0.001 seconds, it looks really bad. And you might want to include something about the HUD. But seriously, do you have any quick tips for getting smooth camera movement?
