Wall gates Thread - Tiberium Essence Fans

I was wondering if gates could be added to the wall system. There are 2 ways I think it could work.

1. Make a gate building which is a gate with wall hubs at each side that can have walls built from it.

2. Make it an upgrade for wall segments like in BFME2

Edited by: FeuerAegis

option 2 was also used in age of empires 2, it is my opinion that this is the best idea

I´m not sure if it´s really codeble or will work like in TS...

The walls already work like BFME2 and I think that this and other mods may of ported the script from there but I am not sure

But it´s not sure if it will work in C&C3. BFME2 has nothing with this.

Looks to be the same engine.

I remember that I read somwhere (maybe TE essence page looong time ago) that it might not be possible to have gates like in TS, but that there might be a way to make gates that have to be open manualy by PC.

I like the manual part

me likes manual too

Saves you from forces slipping in because one of your units was to close to the gate

the problem with manual is that then your harvestors can't go through automatically and the wall segments are really small better to have one that is a proper size.

side note to Carnius you should ask the devs for tiberium sun rising if they've made any headway on gates for cnc3 cause they're the ones who have probably been the most motivated to do it.

From what I've heard you can't code gates to work like they do in Tiberian Sun. The only way t have a gate work is to have it open and close manually as has been said. This I find to be a genius idea since when our base is under attack we can close up the gates and prevent our stupid harvesters from running outside and getting themselves killed.

Oh... this made me remember that bug where the AI don´t attack walls.

Bugs can be fixed.

awww... but that bug is SOOOOOO exploitable!

yeah i know... but have you noticed that they do attack your wall if they have something to garrison in?

or if its the only thing they can attack?

Also the gate wouldn't be considered a wall more like a regular structure.

no even if they have nothing else to attack they will just walk up to the wall and stare at it
