Alternate Warfare is a Total Conversion on C&C3 engine, the background story is set in the Cold War era in a different timeline, in which the experimental weapons that never practically saw service are granted a chance to prove themselves in the battlefield. As the Commander, you will have to battle through a series of campaigns dating from regional conflict in the 70s to a full-scale nuclear war in the mid-90s, make use of these new weapons wisely in order to emerge victorious in this Alternate Warfare.
Alternate Warfare will add directional line-of-sight as an experimental game component. For demonstration purposes, the basic line-of-sight for units in the video has been severely decreased. Under the current design, many first-line combat units will have limited vision to its flank and rear direction, especially units like MBTs, which have high HP and damage, in order to make scout units more important. We haven't determined yet whether to do the same to combat infantry units like the Rifleman Squad, as we feel that it would weakens them too much.
Interesting idea. I agree on the infantry, leave those be.
exactly, and they have like 5 guys in the squad to have a look out
awesome!
Really good idea, reminds me of Blitzkrieg or Sudden Strike.
How did you do this? Was there a bone or invisible object with a vision radius attached to the vehicle? Or an OCLed weapon of sorts that spawns the same object?
yes the invisible attached object. in fact the infantry squads can easier have directional LoS since there are such codes inherited from BFME. normal units also have some code but for weird reason they're not working anymore.
