Halo Wars Demo is here

[Kalladdolf]

thanks, for the tips, mike
I can disable the jumping from air, the only thing I din't use it was that it would've been too hard!
But I have no idea how to create a minimap and I also can't handle the external stuff (have not been able to find a topic about this yet )
If anyone could help...

The external stuff is just saving a variable in a group with the "automatic" saveVars function.
Just play with the variable options or ask more specific help.

An idea for the minimap:
when your level is ready, zoom out in the ged file and take a snapshot. (you can remove the squares to get better image)
Then just use it as a image and show your current position with a line or with a small symbol.

how do I detect the position of my player?
and how do I show it on my minimap???
(u see, I know the basic stuff but....)

[Troodon]

Well, you can make an arrow for example. Then let's say your view moves 15 pixles/second and the level is 10 000 pixels wide.
Compare this data to the data of your minimap. For example your minimap is 100 pixels wide. Just add the arrow the same relative speed in the minimap than your view moves in the real map.

That was sooo cool. Im making a halo game as well "Stand of the Elites" and its coming along pretty well. The sprites that you use are totally cool! Mine are all drawn by me and they look pretty bad.

This is my best elite sprite, the supporting character, Elde Iwtot!

Maybe since were both working on halo projects we can bounce ideas of each other?
