Haven't tried it yet. But I think able to switch it on and off would be most convenient for the user.

The new head looks good on its own. I'll DL this and test it when I get home.

Post Re: Growth Pod *Update(10-7-09) Jumpers,Signals,Toggle AutoSpawn
Update. Added togglable auto spawn, jumper soldier (which currently acts as a heavy(sorta)) and signals to indicate when the pod is ready to spawn another unit. Aaand of course some easy to change variables in a big box in the Lua script. Vars you can change are:

Code:
--------------------
----- The variables here can be changed to alter various properties of the growth pod.

   self.autospawntriggerdelay = 500; -- the delay between auto spawn toggles.
   self.lightspawncooldown = 5000; -- the cool-down time after spawning a light unit. (milliseconds)
   self.heavyspawncooldown = 8000; -- the cool-down time after spawning a heavy unit. (milliseconds)
   self.lightunittoheavy = 3; -- when auto spawn is on, a heavy unit spawns after this number of light units produced. 0 is always heavies. A negative number is always lights.

--------------------

The jumpers should be a light unit in my mind, while the crab being the heavier one, if according to their original forms.

I'm starting to find the crab soldier cute :3

Very nice!
One bizarre thing though, I left a base defended solely by these for, oh, maybe 20 minutes, and when I returned I discovered that while the Growth pod was still spawning actors on my side, it itself was no longer on my team and had moved approximately one actor's length from its original position.
To clarify, the pod was not on my team, but was also not on the enemy's team.

Dr. EvilIt could just be an over-load of actors.

Also, I'm working on menus for all of the features instead of memorizing which button does what.

Post Re: Growth Pod *Update(10-8-09) MegaCrab and Functioning Menu
Bumpdate. Added Mega crab and a fully functional menu you can access by holding fire. Once opened, use left, right, up, and down to navigate through the five options you have. The Menu can:
-Spawn a Jumper Soldier(1)
-Spawn a Crab Soldier(2)
-Spawn a Mega Crab(3)
-Toggle auto-spawn(infinite sign)
-Cancel(X)

Most fun I've had in CC for ages.

The crabsoldiers are really well sprited and work really well. Excellent light, cheap soldier.

This is a very fun mod, especially when you pit three pods, vs three pods, and make the waypoints go to eachother.
Don't get me started on the many troops and the many dead bodies, and the large ass crossfires that resulted.

I think the next step is to make a map where your brain is a Growth Pod and you have no funds; Where you are pitted either against a base or another Pod.
Love the updates.

Then you should at least make two different pods, one for jumpers and one for crabs, because it would be more fun to pit jumpers against crabs than to put crabs against crabs i think.

Are there ways of changing the sprites easily? so that you can create a new version for say the coalition, you could have one for every faction!
Some would need multiple menues, so for darkstorm say you have a menue like the original and 1 is a shinobi, 2 is a shogun and 3 goes to another menu fer specialised shoguns, and that would have 1 as coil gun, 2 as point defence and 3 as specialist with the down or auto-spawn going back, then point defence could contain a PD shogun and the coil gun version, in specialist you could get 1 electro, 2 pyro and 3 cryo.

Overall even at it's current stage it is amazing, sadly the only person who plays cortex command with me refuses to play 1v1 games, only coop skirmishes.
