Small Question

[Star Wars Man]

Guys I've got a question.

I've created a Tiberium field on my map. Over that Tib field, I've placed a Ion Storm that I'd like to attack anything that comes in range. I've placed it and all, but I cannot get it to attack. Can anyone tell me how to make that Ion Storm attack anything on site?

Create a new player and set all other players as its enemy, assign the Ion Storm to that player.

Should I have a specific faction be the owner, or does it matter?

It would be really wicked if someone could rig a cloud or two to float around the map bringing an Ion Storm with it wherever it goes, that way people will always be one their toes when it's nearby:evil:

No it doesn't.

Haha, brillant... Should make it turn on and off in intervals too so it's not on all the time.. Like TS. :P

Alright, I've done everything you've told me. I've created a new team, set all of the others as enemies, and set the cloud to that faction. Problem is it still doesn't attack.

Here's a pic of what happens:

See? It still doesn't attack. I have no idea why, either. Help would be appreciated.

try assigning it to plycreep?

You set the ion storm to the new player and set all other players as that player's enemies? Zip the file and upload it so we can have a look.

Although from a gameplay perspective, why do you want a tiberium field permanently covered in an ion storm? What purpose does it serve?

You can find it here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WY43MV99).

I just thought it would be an inteesting effect to the map. The Tib Field you see regenerates every 5-10 seconds, so I thought to counter-balance that to have a weak Ion Storm.
