Thanks, I really appriciate it ^,^

Thats true, but i am always happy for them to add ways to make it easier for users to do

4

easier? Use start facing -> closest enemy and you have the easiest way
= same effect other name

5

I know this is currently one of the standard ways of doing it
But it can cause some issues,

actions
{
Start Facing(Event Player, Direction Towards(Event Player, Closest Player To(Event Player, All Teams)), 500, To World,
Direction and Turn Rate);
}

If we follow this Action, we will run into the issue with the A.I trying to focus the player even when they are dead, which results in us needing to build an array to prevent this,

My goal is to make the Workshop as easy as possible with as few scripts needed for newer users, but also offer advance methods for more experience users like Light Probes etc.

I do understand that this way is fine and still rather useful, just an idea to try and make it easer for new users!

6

closest player to = sorted array(players without event player, distance between(event player, current array element))

players without event player = remove from array(all living players, event player)

all living players → no dead players

7

I know i just want to make it simple for newer users.

8

Why would a new user try to code dummy bots?

But I get what you mean.

Lol Plenty do, so anything to make it as easy as possible for people is my goal for the community ^,^

This is not possible at all because it opens a lot of ways for hackers to do their bad things. Blizzard wastes a lot of money to keep their games :shield: “clear”.

By the way, it would be nice if we can change skins on fly and manage teams.

More info about me and my game mods you can find here.

PS4 player here and I would not like that. The rest is great and I can relate to most of them. But one question: how will the “change skybox” action would work?

The A to Z of course would have to be adapted for Console players for their buttons/stick inputs but still its understandable!

So Lets say you wanted to use Lunar Horizon Colonies Skybox and place it in like Paris, you could then have its star skies and earth in the background of Paris with its buildings etc

Then you could use the lighting system to make the lighting match it if you wished

Depending how the Game is handled it can be simple or dificult

I hope they can add it someday, but lets just wait and see what the next updates they do add ^,^

15

It would be nice to have:

condition:

  • Is Button Held (A-Z) (especially H for hero change)

action:

  • Set assemble heroes zone or Get ‘player’ to assemble heroes (or something that allows a player to go to that interface without having to die during a match or without making all the match going to that point)
