 Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R1) I think I'd actually prefer that they were less unstoppable. The regenerating health, strong armor, homing missiles, and ridiculously powerful gun kind of detract from the coolness of the improved AI. Maybe you could make a "light" version that uses regular weapons?

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R1) I agree. I think a lot of its effectiveness comes from the fact that two loads of buckshot isnt enough to render it harmless, unlike most other actors.
I have to try pitting this against RETARDS now.

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R1) More like give the script to RETARDS. They would be freaking unstoppable.

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R1) Yeah, the RETARDS are supposed to be drones that work together. With this script and perhaps a few tweaks, they'd be completely perfect.

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R1) Yeah, if you managed to do group actions they'd also be unstoppable.

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R1) I just figured out how to outlast the mission for like, forever. But you need two mods for this, which is my Cordyc faction, and the Cash4Kills.
Order a Cash4Kills drone and one or two Cordyc Crawlers in a Dummy DS. Plop the C4K drone in your base, and the crawlers outside your base. Here's the tricky part: Convert almost all the robots they sent into Cordyc Puppets, then turn them into Baloon Puppets later on when there's a lot of normal Puppets around. Spew some spores, and you got more Puppets to play with... and sometimes, rarely, more than one Puppet can spawn from a single robot.
But hell yeah it was awesome. Vanilla don't stand a chance.

I really enjoyed reading you after action report, but I can assure you that the digger to the face was just a lucky coincidence.

Maybe you could make a "light" version that uses regular weapons? I agree. After playing a little against the Independents I came to the conclusion that they are more annoying than fun to fight, and have nerfed them somewhat. The reason they carry automated weapons is simply that we don't have any reliable way of controlling the normal weapons.  Download link to release two in the OP.

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R2: 2010-12-12) Heheh, you'll have to do blue and yellow versions for b24. 4 teams ect. Would still be awesome if you'd give the mission a win condition. I'd suggest a "wave defender" style script for this mission. Heres a small snippet from my design doc: Code: Wave Defender: Fight through X amount of rounds of custom enemy waves to win.
The battle is divided into rounds. Each round presents a preset wave of enemies with preset equipment. There is an accurate number of how many enemies spawn with what guns. Each round is custom made and includes more enemies with better weapons than the last round. So lets say in round 1 you face 6 soldiers with machine guns, while in round 8 you will face 30 soldiers with rocketlaunchers and miniguns. After all enemies of the attack wave have been killed, the player is granted 2 minutes to prepare for the next round. A time counter on top of the screen shows how much time is left for next round when preparing. While fighting a round, the same counter will show how many enemies are left to kill and what round number it is. So in your case, there could be 5-10 rounds of increasingly harder waves of these terminator bastards. Between those rounds, the player would have time to order reinforcements with a limited amount of money during the whole battle.

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R2: 2010-12-12) Wow Abdul, all of your mods quickly become permanent in my cc folder as soon as i try em out.
These things are truly over 9000! I am beginning to think a human player is sitting inside my computer controlling these...

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R2: 2010-12-12) i really like this, the only thing i think is wrong with it is the red one isnt red enough. the green one is pretty much the same color as the green teams heart, but the red one is way brighter than the red's

Re: Independent - Autonomous Combat Droid (R2: 2010-12-12) These things are pretty awesome, just letting them fight each other currently, but i found a robot on my team that had picked up a riot shield from a fallen ronin. I just thought it was pretty cool, was going to take a screenshot but he got blown up my a homing missile from the other side of the map
