Twisted Insurrection is a critically acclaimed, standalone modification based on the Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™ engine. It features a complete redesign of the original game, set in an alternate "what-if?" timeline where the Brotherhood of Nod was victorious during the first Tiberian War. Do you have what it takes to drag the shattered Global Defense Initiative out of ruin? Or will you crush all who oppose the will of Kane and his Inner Circle? The choice is yours commander.
The perfect example of the possibilities GloboTech have unlocked, Orca Dropships allow the delivery of crucial supplies and reinforcements to specific areas on the battlefield. The arrival of a dropship with reinforcements during a heated battle can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Dropships are only available in certain solo play missions and can never be directly controlled.
they look amazing! :D
So I take it a dropship strike ability via a captured GT communications facility of some sort is still impossible and out of the question?
TS simply doesn't support it, so nope
Thought it's still the case.
What a shame.
Actually, with some creative coding, one might be able to turn the Drop Pod support power (currently unused) into a Dropship reinforcement power. However, the current limitations make it unprofitable: 1. Only infantry can arrive via the Dropship, 2. The Dropship won't take off after dropping the reinforcements. This could be emulated via an animation, but the transition would propably look ugly. 3. AFAIK only a few infantry units can arrive via single Dropship. If you add more, the Dropships will arrive at adjacent cells, causing them to horrificly overlap.
In short - not worth it
Well surely you could have it with a combination of a droppod support power with no animations that simply created an invisible unit (or a ground marker, like in C&C Generals) and a trigger that dropped off units whenever it found any of that type of invisible/marker unit on the map (every x seconds to make sure it didn't run again while reinforcements were en-route) at the position of the invisible/marker unit, then killed it.
So epic!
Looks good. =)
Fantastic work!!!
Cool Orca Dropship it reminds me like this Images2.wikia.nocookie.net
