| 00:15.26 | Dustin|Home | Hey JademusSreg, Know if theres a way to issue a build order command without specifying the location, so the ability just comes up to the placement phase? |
| 00:20.57 | JademusSreg | Naw, we don't have force targeting like wc3. D= |
| 00:21.21 | JademusSreg | Either needs to be done via ability or triggered + actor driven. |
| 00:23.26 | Dustin|Home | welll shit |
| 00:24.02 | Dustin|Home | I guess I could just have a unit that has the command and hide all the command cards except for the random one they got |
| 00:24.14 | Dustin|Home | And make them manually hit the hotkey to buil |
| 00:24.15 | Dustin|Home | d |
| 00:39.05 | JademusSreg | Items are better for customizable command stuff. But yeah, that'd work too. |

| 00:52.02 | ArcanePariah | :D |
| 00:52.35 | Dustin|Home | hehe |
| 00:53.06 | Dustin|Home | Ok so fuck it, Im just going to make a build ability set for each type of block, so instead of rotating you pick which rotation you want to place |

| 19:08.11 | wayward | hey guys |
| 19:08.15 | JademusSreg | Hallo |
| 19:08.17 | wayward | so here's what I'm thinkin' |
| 19:08.29 | wayward | I have several units I want to have a pseudo-ammo system |
| 19:08.52 | JademusSreg | Oh, this is definitely Arc's area of expertise. =D |
| 19:09.00 | wayward | so it's easy enough to have attacks cost energy |
| 19:09.03 | wayward | but that's too binary |
| 19:09.16 | wayward | what I want is to have them lose something when they run out of energy |
| 19:09.18 | wayward | like |
| 19:09.30 | wayward | the unit i'm currently working on |
| 19:09.47 | wayward | i want it to lose fire rate and range when it runs out of ammo |
| 19:09.51 | wayward | but still be able to attack |
| 19:10.06 | wayward | I tried adding 2 weapons but it just attacks with both until it runs out of ammo |
| 19:10.19 | wayward | I figure there's an effect or something |
| 19:10.23 | wayward | behavior maybe? |
| 19:11.19 | wayward | or to have some sort of autocast ability that only goes off when the unit fires its weapon? |
| 19:11.28 | wayward | that's what I had been thinking initially |
| 19:11.39 | ArcanePariah | wayward: So you want infinite ammo, just when they "deplete" the ammo, they attack slower and not as far? |
| 19:11.45 | wayward | yeah |
| 19:11.49 | wayward | or some other effect |
| 19:12.00 | wayward | I want one unit to do less damage the less ammo it has |
| 19:12.08 | wayward | another to move slower the less energy it has |
| 19:12.16 | wayward | if possible |
| 19:13.05 | wayward | I'd like to tie it to energy. Currently units don't generate their own energy and have to refill it |
| 19:13.16 | wayward | players are intended to fight over the energy batteries |
| 19:13.29 | wayward | but I don't want not having energy to be a 100% death sentence |
| 19:19.04 | wayward | ah unfortunately I have to run :( |
| 19:19.17 | wayward | I'll keep hackin' at it and be back later |

| 19:30.45 | wayward | thanks for all the help |
| 19:30.54 | wayward | for anyone with the time |
| 19:31.03 | wayward | i will try to find some tutorials on making abilities |

| 20:37.06 | ArcanePariah | Also, sup pirate, how goes things? |
| 20:37.46 | Dustin|Work | He's on here quite a bit |
| 20:37.51 | pirate | road trip is over |
| 20:37.58 | pirate | working on editing summary video |
| 20:38.01 | Dustin|Work | Good, now get us a MP Rogue Star! |
| 20:38.04 | Dustin|Work | :D |
| 20:38.13 | pirate | it's so close but missing something critical |
| 20:38.30 | ArcanePariah | lol Dustin|Work |
| 20:40.10 | pirate | and once this video is done, I'mma get to work on my contest entry. Working title: Dwarf War Chest |
| 20:41.30 | Dustin|Work | Haha, gonna be some kind of Dwarf Fortress game? |
| 20:41.36 | ArcanePariah | I'll be around for the usual, play testing, ideas, critiquing, etc. |
| 20:43.16 | Dustin|Work | I'm working on a rampart game :D |
| 20:43.24 | pirate | what's a rampart game? |
| 20:43.35 | Dustin|Work | Man, was i the only one who played Rampart as a kid? lol |
| 20:43.40 | pirate | clearly |
| 20:44.04 | Dustin|Work | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsOnvmrszSI |
| 20:44.11 | pirate | DWC will be nothing like DF but I figured the name recognition couldn't hurt |
| 20:44.39 | pirate | lol what is going on |
| 20:44.56 | pirate | tell me you're using a modified creep? |
| 20:45.21 | Dustin|Work | ok so, you start with a castle with walls around it, and you get cannons, after firing at people you have to repair your walls with random tetris pieces or you lose |
| 20:45.39 | Dustin|Work | I was thinking about using creep for the visual of saying you have a completed unpathable wall |
| 20:47.28 | pirate | you could give creep the stone pathing texture from heroes. full on fantasy and contest ready |
| 20:47.46 | Dustin|Work | Yeah that's a good idea! |
| 20:48.40 | pirate | my pleasure |
| 20:48.52 | pirate | would take some tinkering to get it looking right, but should work well |
| 20:50.11 | Dustin|Work | The main problems im trying to comeup with solutions for are the walls |
| 20:51.00 | Dustin|Work | I got a good base, but it's gonna be different than the old game as far as walls go, unless I want to create some advanced system to show wall placements and check pathing and create individual blocks |

| 23:50.27 | wayward | Arcane, did you have a chance to think about the 'soft ammo' system? |
| 23:50.43 | wayward | ATM I'm just working on getting a basic grasp of building abilities |
| 23:51.13 | wayward | if anyone knows of a good YouTube or text tutorial that'd be awesome |
| 23:51.29 | wayward | like, the basics of building or modifying an ability |
