i didnt know you could kill a waypath when a building controller decides its dead..

well in that case it seems to be the best idea in my opinion.

I should think you could anyways, it has a unique ID, so it should.

However I am trying out other ways as we speak. And its going quite well!

but if people planted multiple hunter seeker beacons then there would be swarms of them coming...and disarming the beacon would mean it would come and dissapear...although i guess thats not much different to renegade where if you disarm at the last second the nuke / ion cannon still attacks, but no damage is done...

About the waypaths:

If you can get the seeker droid computer controlled with those JFW scripts, why not just test a condition before sending it on a waypath. Let's say you have a waypath leading to each building of the enemy base. Check to see if any buildings are destroyed....if so, don't use the waypaths that will lead to those buildings. So if you had one waypath called "waypath_AGT" and the AGT was destroyed, rule waypath_AGT out of the selection.

How much are these things gonna cost? And are they gonna be destroyable while they're on the waypaths? And how fast will these go? If they blow up buildings like you say they do, then it will totally unbalance the game.

How would it unbalence the game if both sides have the same thing?

however to make it work better as an FPS they might just heavily damage buildings? say 3/4 of total health, meaning the rest of the team must inflict the other 1/4 damage to take the building down, either before or after the HS detonates...

but thats just my suggestion

Yea, but what if one doesn't? (ie: the building that makes them gets blown up)

If you are going to make the hunter seeker buyable, set a time limit on it after a player buys it. When the timer reaches 0, it deploys automatically like the harvester builds automatically when destroyed. This way is a little backwards from the original tiberiun sun, but this way will work a little better.

Then you don't let it get destroyed.

By that logic, everything in the game is unbalenced, since the other teams barracks/war factory/heli pad/etc. can be destroyed.

You do realize that when you plant multiple beacons in renegade, multiple nukes/ions come, and when you disarm the beacon the nuke/ion blast disappears, right?

Although if it were made so the hunter seeking out the target was not just an animation, it could probably be made so if a beacon was disarmed then the hunter would explode where it was while on its way to the beacon.

It depends, if you disarm when the nuke is about 10 meters above you and about to detonate then it still comes down and the mushroom cloud appears, but no damage is done, it depends how soon you disarm it...not 100% sure bout the ion cannon but i think its the same,...

That only happens when you disarm as the very last possible second. I've seen the nukes disappear while touching the building before.

The Problem with the scripts was that its not possible to detect if the hunter seeker reached its aim if I rembering right.

You should have it follow one of several waypoints to the enemy base and do say, half total damage to a building. That way a well timed Hunter Seeker could turn the tide during a seige. Make it expensive to the point where people pool to buy it. I would DEFINATELY do the waypoints as opposed to player controlled. Feel free to waypoint this and actually ADD a demo truck though. I don't care if it wasn't in Tiberian Sun, I love demo trucks. ;D
