limits to multiplayer scenario design.

I know you can't go above 64 units per side. I know only one side can get to deploy their units.

Are there other limits? Must you have any fixed units, or can you have complete force selection?

What is the 3rd toggle on the "deploy units" toggle button.

If i port a map into someone else's MP campaign and adjust the text correctly, the campaign will then use that map. Correct?

[pipfromslitherine]

The third deploy toggle allows both sides to deploy. You can have (IIRC) completely free force selection, but we don't generally advise it as it's then possible to enter a battle with no units and instantly lose

You can definitely move a map in to another campaign.

Hey Pip, Just to be sure that I've understood this... Is it now possible for both sides to deploy in an MP game using the standard BA Editor?

[pipfromslitherine]

I believe so. If you see 3 toggle settings in the editor, then yes

Cheers

That's great news. How do we set the deployment zone for each of the two MP players? I'll substitute the new default code for Merr's old mod...

[pipfromslitherine]

It works in the same way as normal deployment - you can deploy to any area your side can initially see.

Cheers

Thanks Pip! I guess I can get more creative, expanding what that side can see, with...

Code: Select all

if ( GetTurn() == 0 )
	{		
		SetAreaLOS(x1, y1, x2, y2, 0, 1) ;
	}

?

[pipfromslitherine]

Correct - many missions do just that

Cheers

Pip
