Hooah a fork lift! we shall ride to victory in style!
If only it were garrison-able... then to pack it with explosives and drive it at the enemy!

I'm considering making props more interactive and destroyable. The game unfortunately is lacking in a physics engine so it won't be as robust as the interactivity in games like CofH...but maybe something more than what the stock game had at any rate.
Ive never modded empire at war before, so this may not work.. Just chucking an idea out there, but is it possible to make the forklifts and cars count as a neutral unit? no ai but they have a healthbar and a destroyed state/wreck on death?
Well, yeah, that would be the way to do it. The problem is that every time your mouse hovered over said prop, a health bar would show up... It's a little detail but I think it would really get annoying since the map would be covered with destroyable props.
Just make it have no "radar icon" in the XML (towards the bottom of the unit's code). Also, there are some things in the game which do not have a visible health bar (primarily things implemented in the campaign). I've never managed to get rid of a health bar, but it can be done.
ok i have an amzing story with these things in reach. me and my friend Charly Brown (its his real name!) were doin Pillar of Autumn on Legendary. right after the mongoose driving sequence (we actually rode a truck through), you have to fight that one wraith with all the brutes scattered around. so we kill all the brutes, when the wraith just starts avoiding everything. finally, after i got behind a big pipe for cover, i said over the mike, 'OK heres the plan. you get in that forklift, distract him, and i will hijack him. GO!'
i see him coming around the bend in the forklift. i say 'What are you doing?' he says hes winning.
i g to the other sde of the pipe, and he is against the wraith, and saying, 'Dont you fire at me, dont you shoot, i will push you into that wall if you so much as shoot!'
and then i hijacked i and took it over. we have never forgotten this feat.

Bungie.net
That was the idea :)
I wanted to recapture that shot but the camera won't depress far enough...
is it just me or does the forklift look like its in front of a green screen?
Forklift...this mod now has +200% awesome.
I only wish it was drivable. lol
Could be an easter egg unit for both sides?
I could get behind that.
This is amazing. I'm, I'm speechless. Epic man, purely epic.
YEAH! I'm gonna destroy those enemies LIKE A BOSS now!
make it so the forklift is drivable, and you shall recieve 10000000 exp points!

This just reminded me of possibly the most ridiculous video I have ever seen on youtube. Thanks for giving me a good chuckle!

Oh god..... That just brings the state of the minimap to mind :S covered in neutral targets aswell i guess..
I think there is a way to make objects invisible on the mini map but yeah, it would be super annoying if there wasn't...
