I'm working on the unit flowcharts (should have shield done tomorrow). You could also use http://mcu.wikia.com. It should have plenty of information. Although I think step one is to watch the films. Edited by user Friday, January 13, 2017 6:54:07 AM(UTC)

I made a HYDRA flowchart.  Please remember, all these flowcharts are things to jump off of. We don't need to stick to them and they need adding to. |

ConYard Style-building eh? I have devised a way to do that(if you're willing to embrace the silly) for my upcoming 'Ideas Dump' mod. Edited by user Monday, January 16, 2017 1:29:27 PM(UTC)

My way of doing it (and I got it working (mostly)) was to add the dozer module to the CC (It let's you build within a certain area but if the building is too far away it won't build and you have to 'stop' it). How do you do it? Edited by user Monday, January 16, 2017 1:50:33 PM(UTC)

So. Really Long.
As a faction, one of the things it will spawn from is the StartingUnit.
The StartingUnit is an omni-present dozer that can build ANYWHERE(given the space) in the map.
To make it so that you don't build anywhere, you don't actually build the building you build the scaffolding object, in which at completion, replaces itself with the actual building.
The scaffolding object comes with an auto-kill weapon on itself that triggers a unused DeathType(I used EXTRA_2), that spawns two objects, a refund money crate and an invisible unit that autodeletes after 500 milliseconds, long enough to capture the refund money crate.
I also made sure that the scaffolding object does not create rubble when killed through the DeathType.
Now, the buildings will provide a healing aura SPECIFICALLY only to the Scaffolding Object. I gave the scaffolding object an 'OBSTACLE' KindOf, and it's what buildings look for when preventing the auto-kill weapon.
The Area you can build on is temporarily(until I find more efficient way) indicated by a ParticleSystem, that draws a circle around the building.
Now, how do you select a omni-present dozer?
Right now, I have it on the Command Center- it has button to select the dozer.
I can easily put it on the Shortcut Buttons. Or, you can select it via the underused 'Idle Worker' button. And even put down a hotkey for it.
One major thing we need to prevent though is that PER PLAYER, there only needs to be ONE omni-present dozer. Which is highly unlikely due to the fact this object is only created at the start of the game on the faction you chose.
Creating a Command Center/ConYard does not spawn another one. Every building just requires a Command Center/ConYard. To make it even more "fair" I suggest the Command Center/ConYard be done via MCV deploying. Which needs a War Factory/vehicle production.
You cannot build a Command Center/ConYard via omni-present dozer.

I took a quick glance at it...
And oh wow. It's very similar-- save for the fact I like the DetoNato's utilization of a STATUS weapon-- since it reduces a good chunk of code compared to mine. |

For the SHIELD faction, I was thinking of having some drones that are slaves of a CC they'd be the 'dozer's and you could build more to build more things at once.
A mix of the ConYard and Dozer build styles. |

Possibly because I think that the Generals series are more popular than RA 3 and C&C 3. And that it has a dozer concept. But, that's just me thinking out loud. |

Why generals? Because I came up with the mod and it's the only game I know how to mod. That and the above 2 points. And because other people are also limited to generals. |

Performance-wise keep it under 10000 polys. Not too many sub-objects. |

Still need to fully come up with a list of available units.
We need to come up with a variety, else the game could get stale. |

I was thinking we could have an upgrade which unlocks all the members of coalson's team.
Similarly have upgrades which unlock units for the other teams.
And I thought about giving hydra speaker towers which cause shield agents to defect if they get too close (not 100%, probably more like 20%). |
