I've always wondered exactly how they smoke in vacuum. |

>.> ive actually played starcraft. But i guess since thats your source, i think you should, however look at the shading thread. |

Have the mdivided into squads, and have the selectable actor just set a go-to point. |

Hm, that might work for the zerglings, though considering how retarded the AI is, they'd likely trip over their own dead and end up with several instant mutations in the shape of bullet holes. |

You could have them automatically follow the contour of terrain up walls and across ceilings to get to their target, in fitting with their wormy nature. |

Zerglings are wormy? |

On closer inspection Contrary said it was a larva. Upon slight research I think you could pull off letting them walk on walls and ceilings in terms of suspension of disbelief. Whether or not you could pull off that in terms of code is a different matter, but would allow for swarming if you were able to do it. You could also use the code from the Robot Defence scene which means they don't hit one another, but I'm not really sure how that works. |

I wasn't talking about the larvae, I was talking about the basic unit which has won many a n00b vs n00b match. |

Anyway, didn't Abdul make a dummy with better jetpack AI for one of his scenes? If you could make it work with jumping, you could have effective zergling swarms. |

The swarms don't have to be huge, do they? CC is all about few man maneuvers. I'm thinking super well armoured, fast as possible (this is CC, so not that fast), armed with digger faces (teeth and burrow). Is it possible to mimic the way the Zerg work? Like, you have a hatchery which spews wormsies which can choose between becoming a variety of units, with drones being able to dig up gold (other diggers will be less terrain rapey but sharper so they can't get gold) and turn into towers. I can't sprite (these guys) for crap though, so maybe I'll try Protoss (lame guys) next. I'll make their dumb Zealots and junk. |

The protoss are awesome :O But maybe for the zerglings we could have them pass through other actors, like the robots/dummies from Robot V Robot. Thatd get rid of the swarmling problem but you wouldnt be able to pounce  And instead of the overlord, I have a new idea to create an organic-looking drop pod that lets zerglings out from both sides, and then turns into terrain when it scuttles(Without an explosion) |
