Hey, I had an idea that could make mission-making a lot easier. Would it be possible for someone with knowledge of Lua to make a code that would turn any map (with certain requirements) into a basic "assault" type mission? The map would have to have a player brain, an opponent brain, a landing zone for the player, and a specified amount of funds for the player. The code would put all team 2 actors into sentry mode, and create victory and failure conditions so that you win if the enemy brain is destroyed and lose if yours is. If someone could make a code like this, virtually anyone could make a mission fairly easily by making their own terrain and using the scene editor.

I've included an example of a map that could be easily converted to a mission using the code I've described.

There's a mission template.

D'oh.

I have lots of great ideas that turn out to already have been made.

EDIT: Wait, actually, that's not what I was talking about, really. You still need to know Lua to use the mission template, it just makes it faster.
