I have previously started to make a c&c style game but came to a problem when trying to move multiple charcters off of one command. I managed to move one character and also make him shoot. I employed a little menu system to enable me to achieve this. e.g.
For this example we will name the character as Man and his movement is bouncing ball
Right Click on Man Menu appears listing move, shoot, cancel
Left click on move then left click on location. create crosshair at mouse pos. Make Man look in direction of crosshair and start movement.
Man collidces with crosshair then stop
Left click on shoot. set alterable value a to 1
check alterable value =1 then play animation shoot and shoot bullet towards crosshair.
Hope all that makes sense. As i said selecting and moving a group of characters with this method causes a few problems. can anyone help. if so if i finish making the game i will give some credit to the movement engine to you.
