Brilliant, works like a charm, thanks.


Not a sight you want to see after immediately starting the mission.

It's time for 'help the noob' again.

The special weapons dalek is supposed to explode when killed, much like the Cyberdisk. Rather disappointingly however, it doesn't. Instead just spawing a corpse and remaining sadly unxploded.

I've added 'power' and 'blastRadius' to the corpse item, but I get the impression I'm missing something somewhere. Any suggestions?

You also need this:

Code: [Select]

units:
  - type: STR_DALEK
    specab: 1

The 'specab 1 ' tells the unit to explode when killed.

The 'specab 1 ' tells the unit to explode when killed.

It's always the little things that are easy to miss. Problem solved, thanks!

Does anyone have this still?

I'd love to try this but the download link has gone

[Wolfstarr]

So I thought I'd resurrect this little gem

Almost finished the spritesheet using the art posted earlier in the thread, just needs a death animation and then will work with animation routine 4.

I really need to be more active on the forums.

You'll be pleased to hear the project's not scrapped - I've just not been active on the forums.

I'll be updating more fully later on in the week, and am aiming for a release in the next couple of weeks, but for now, here's a taster of what I've been working on...

[Wolfstarr]

Awesome news!

Il hold fire doing anything further with it then ... the work in progress looks stunning some nice spritework there!

Watched some classsic who last night so was getting motivated to pick up the baton.

Look forward to seeing more!

EDIT: I've collected a lot of sound files for Daleks and some for Cybermen if need them
