    Snarkship Troopers Map for PC

    I've been wanting to do something with the Arachnids for a while. Loosely based on Outpost Whisky from the movie's big shootout.

    Haha, thanks! I wanted to have more bugs and troopers, but when there were more, the scripts didn't seem to function reliably. I needed to have one AI enemy to get the map to validate (bugs don't count) so there's one AI in the far corner of the map trapped in by the terrain. He's surrounded by explosive barrels. So, when you kill the queen arachnid it spawns a flame which explodes the barrels that kill the AI that ends the game, phew.

    When there were too many friendly AI the game wouldn't end even when all (1/1) enemies were dead. I didn't want to trust that it would work fine once published, as for me, the opposite seems to be true.

    Nice job on the Starship Troopers base! The bugs never came inside very far when I played but maybe you intended that. You could also put bounty targets on the bugs and then make a giant extraction zone to avoid the problems with Assault type maps.

    I didn't know you could put a bounty on animals, thanks that's a great tip. I will tinker with it and see what happens.

    Thanks again for the bounty tag tip, I was able to quadruple the amount of troopers in the fort and double the amount of arachnids, so there's a lot more action going on. I also cleared an obstruction at the doorway so the odds of bugs getting inside is a lot better. Also having the queen tagged as the target makes it a lot clearer what the objective is. I hope the ratings will reflect the change...

    Cool yeah I played it again and there were way more troopers. You can also look at object preferences on the extraction zone and make it cover the whole base so that you instantly win when you kill the queen.
