There will always be trolls, even if they take these kinds of ridiculous mesures.
About the gender (female) problems: This is very true, I hadn't even thought about it...
It also brings another problem: People's with different origins will also be victim of discrimination (racism). If they bring out the "Like" / "Dislike" system, I wouldn't be suprised that the post's cridibility would be affected by the poster's origins.
fictive example:
"Umm that was a good read.............wait .. Posted by Mohammad Rahimi???"
"Fuck arabs, hate those guys, wasn,t that much helpful anyways -> "click dislike" -> important post gets faded away...........
I know it's not really on topic, but what bothers me the most is that they are spending manhours (yeah I know it's not the same team, but still) on useless stuff like facebook implementation. Starcraft 2 is coming out in less than 3 weeks and we haven't even tested the promised corrections to the bnet that left in a shitty state when phase 1 ended.
Some of you should probably acknowledge the distinction between sharing someone's personal information without their permission (privacy) and requiring you to sign your forum posts with your real name (anonymity.) This isn't retroactive and any time you make a forum post you'd have to check a disclaimer agreeing to share your real name. So please stop talking about how this is an intrusion of privacy. Anonymity and privacy are NOT the same things.
Also, there's no way in hell Blizzard is going to be liable for someone stalking you. They didn't share your name, YOU did by posting on their forums. They're no more liable than they would be if you made a post on the current forums and signed it with your real name.
what if someone needs technical information, and I want to help him but I won't because I don't want my name to be exposed to so many strangers?
also how is it not an intrusion of privacy when someone can easily right click his friend's real ID, go into "see friends" and then see my name ? He can then go on his friend's facebook and check me out on his friend's friends list ? Let's say we both have the same friend, but we don't like eachothers. Don't you think he could check my picture and then insult me on my physic ? (which isnt a problem or the case, it's simply an example) (ie: LOL YOU'RE A ING FAT ASS!!!!!!! etc).
I'm sorry but unless they start putting out more privacy options, they're gonna start having lawsuits problems, just like facebook did.
id make it an target effect, and make it create a persistent that target say 12 'units' out in front of the caster for a missile launch. then give the missile launch a "search" and when it finds an enemy make it suicide. then give it an on death effect of doing aoe damage. then when they target some1, they will shoot it actually past the target in a straight line, and anything it hits it will explode, or it will blow up after going out for 12 units.
Thanks for the quick response!
Yes, that is definitly what I'm trying to do, but the part that I can't figure is how to make it go in a straight line of the caster.
Edit: I might be on something! Will update later, thx ez!
Edit: Still can't get it to work :(, currently working with the missile turret's weapon as an example
edit: Found the map of user: "QuantumMenace". I'll use his as an exampleéé thanks!
about 2 weeks ago I decided to stop working on my project (remake of WC3's "Ninjas vs Samurais").
At first, it was coming along fine with some help from the IRC and tutorials (big thanks and special thanks to Bifuu and Riley) but I got blocked on one of the major part of the "structure". With the end of the beta near I kind of got discouraged.
But now I wanna get it back going and I'm looking for some kind people to direct me in the right way.. basicly what I'm trying to do is to make missiles launched by hostile AI to go in a linear direction (instead of being "guided").
Any help appreciated, I really want to start working back on it after seeing all the amazing stuff on the front page :)
