China Uberlord Vs. USA Command Center

Approaching the enemy:



Climbing onto the roof:



Squish:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My ZH is working again, and I thought I'd celebrate it with an absolutely epic moment. I was playing GLA on a custom map with an Uberlord, and tested out its new feature. Crushing buildings beneath its treads. I had to GPS Scramble it since enemies were attacking it furiously, and I didn't want them to accidentally blow up the command center before I crushed it.

Lesson:
Don't mess with the Uberlord.

Crushes buildings D:!

Make it so it can't crush Heroes, that would look so Epically stupid

[Pav:3d]

^ indeed
Looks like so much fun

[WNxMastrefubu]

That surely is epic! And I thought the Nuclear missiles in its top side was catastrophic enough.

I never knew crushing buildings in ZH is possible D:
This UperLord is FTW!!

[pirate]

Very awesome indeed

care to explain how crushing building work, crushable = 4 and decreasing the crush armor on buildings ?

[ΓΛPTΘΓ]

Is it just me, the first pic looks like its stealth...

[Waris]

I think it is

[Alias]

There's your answer.

Originally, buildings were completely uncrushable. They didn't have a crushable level, so not even a unit with CrusherLevel = 1337 would work. Also, the GeometryIsSmall = No coding made it impossible to crush as well, but I'm not sure of the consequences of removing that from buildings.

So, by adding a crushable level of 4, and changing GeometryIsSmall to yes, you can crush buildings with any unit with a crusher level of 5 or higher.

Here's my system of unit levels:
-------------------------------
What can it crush?
CrusherLevel: 1 = Infantry, 2 = Trees, 3 = General Vehicles, 4 = Overlords/Super Units/Base Defenses, 5 = Buildings

How does this unit rank on the crushable scale?
CrushableLevel: 0 = for Infantry, 1 = for Trees, 2 = for General Vehicles, 3 = for Overlords/Super Units/Base Defenses, 4 = for Buildings, 5 = for Uber Units

Coding-wise, if the Crusher level of an enemy unit is greater than your Crushable level, you can be crushed by it.
-------------------------------
On a related topic, should I make base defenses crushable by overlord-sized units? (Battletank, Emperor, Gattlinglord, etc.)

One of of the uber units should be tiny just for fun!

Question time: Can UberLord survive a nuclear strike?

[Destiny]

I don't see why they should, if they can't be fanned away, they have to be nuked away.

that's quite neat i didn't know you could go beyond that crusher level thanks for sharing

[Destiny]

I would do anything to make 2 opposing Uberlords crush each other.

Thats kinda stupid don't you think?
I wonder if The Hunter have something like Sentinels crushing small base defenses in mind.

[ΓΛPTΘΓ]

Any wouldn't it be fun let the nuke missile able to target air? With massive splash damage, manche rush? Where? (Looks at the pile of molten metal on the ground.)

[CodeCat]

Nice thing to try out: What if a unit's crusher level is higher than its own crushable level? If two such units encounter each other, who will crush who?

[Su8perkillr]

OMG! sounds like... bug view i think they will ride trough each other crushing each ether. maybe they'll be stuck in each other floating in air 'cause noone gets up to crush. but nice experiment indeed.
