Hi there!

This is just an idea, but I put it in the Requests section, maybe because someone could do it, who knows?

So you go on the battlefield, shooting, bombing, whatever, and it's awesome. What could be more awesome if you could see actors in the background AND maybe control them.

There could be 3 "planes" that you could "shift" your way into. The back, the middle (that's where you are in the game right now), and the front.

You could change between these "planes" with a button, or with doors/portals. When you are behind a building (because you are in the back or middle plane), then that building would become slightly transparent.

I don't know if you get my idea here, so I'll just demonstrate it with a video from a PS3 game, called Crash Commando: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FNG2EquTSo

You can see that while you are fighting here, others can fight in the background too, but can't fire there (as it's far away).

That's all...

That's basically completely impossible.

I guess he is talking about some kind of combined-arms thing.

The video make me think to soldat with multiple plans.
Also, for making the mod, the engine of cortex command must be able to shrink peoples, put them into the background and make them non-hittable for the players on the other plans.
IM-PO-SSI-BLE !

This isn't really impossible if you make actors that are just sprite animations and indestructible terrain with the units hogging it and guns that use raycasting to only hit the ones on their plane.

Noone will make it, so it's really impossible like Grif said.
