kinda like the falling sand games? falling sand in CC would be cool!

Well, it would be easy, if Data would create spawners for us. Which is another idea, like something that spawns an ak every 5 mins. Or spawns a rain of fire constantly.

AEmitter ftw.

It just doesn't spawn useable items :]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Usable items and such.

(First post woo)

I think the most imperative thing to have in later builds of CC is vastly improved AI. From what I understand, AI is difficult to program, especially good AI. However, the game really loses something when your enemy has all the problem-solving skills of a stale donut. I mean, just the ability to use their jetpacks when necessary would be a vast improvement, as would removing their tendency to try to walk through walls.

First post? It's the second page.

They do use their jetpacks, albeit ineffectively, to break falls. They have since at least B13.

I think he meant it when the AI will just walk into a wall instead of using their jetpack to get over the wall.

No, it (I say it because I cannot tell gender over the web) meant it's first post.

Um... Hovering. Like a regular actor that can hover.

I did indeed. They just walk straight into the wall, sort of climb, then fall back down, and wind up inadvertently carving a hole in the wall with their foot (albeit very slowly).

Let these pics speak for themselves .

The current engine reders ground/buildings(all terrain) as pixels, not as a solid object. Or at least that is the idea I'm getting. It would take a lot of power from the CPU to run an obstacle-recognizing algorythm.

Besides, the idea is that without the direction of a brain, they are drones.

Obstacle avoidance system would be as laggy as the sharp aim.

It just has a constant sharp aiming thing, or a buy menu position selector thing
out in front of it, if that gets shortend then it knows it has to use the jetpack.

If it is a skele, they need better climb paths, or ladders on the sides of bases.

I (and lots of other members) want to see:

Smooth Scrolling back.
Y-loop fixed.
STORY MODE!
Collision made perfect.
AI use paths implemented into a map by mapmakers.
Hardware Acceleration.
Gib placement editor
and
ONLINE/LAN MULTIPLAYER

The engine could make "Waypoints" for the ai to use every second, make some simple checks to see if an "Obstacle" can be crossed or not.

Lots of loops is needed to make pathfinding . (Wich is not preplaced.)

OMG! Yes, hardware acceleration would help so much, even though the game is mostly using the CPU for everything the GPU can be used for physics, probably even the AI.
