well I learned how to add Vortexs but I noticed a cool little thing about them  :P
even with the same variables they go randomly to their target  :lol:

so I put 7 or so Vortexs with the same variables and uploaded it for your enjoyment  :P

Just so you know spirit- you just provided me with about - 20 minutes of mindless entertainment. Great job.

Ya the voice is annoying- but the first time I played it, I didn't have my speakers on, and I was sitting there like, 'WTF? Where are the twisters at?' So I scroll around the map, and i'm like 'Holy s***. FOUND 'EM ' :D

I am glad to know my tests make some entertainment for people  :P

You know if you put the code for the twisters in the void AIProc() it will make more twisters then you would ever want  :P

You give me a really, really cool idea.

An op2 "test kit" which is a mission which comes with a panel letting you create things like disasters with the click of a button, etc.

Make a movie then play it back.

im thinking something ala CnC-RA allied weather machine.

how hard would it be to create a new building that spits out vortexes? or if this is too difficult, would it be possible to simply make it researchable and then (much like CnC) just have a button appear somewhere on the screen that once clicked, launches the vortex?

I don't think you can. But you might be able to set your building so it repairs faster then a vortex could kill it. and then you could have vortexs seem to come from the building.

That bit about the research and button if doe would (im pretty damn sure) require editing the op2 code. and that isnt easy...

Adding a button, or making a building spit out a vortex would require quite a bit of hacking knowledge. It might be slightly doable, say having a building you can click on, and tell it to launch a vortex by clicking a button in the command pane. But nobody here currently knows how to do it. (Although, I've seen code to suggest this could be done without an exe mod. But it would require LOTS of mem hacking.)

In other news.... I think I've figured out how to control the direction of movement for a vortex. (As opposed to a cheap hack to get it to move sorta where I wanted it).
