Fire burnt my vehicle, but left me standing.

Which is a nice addition rather than a bug imho.

[ZAPTONE_Z]

sounds like a hax to me

[BlitzJoker]

I believe that matlu has implemented that on purpose, and it seems more logical to me.

[ZAPTONE_Z]

if your car goes up in flames you arent guaranteed safety

maybe a 50/50 chance of 'escaping the burning vehicle'

[matlu]

Yes, it was made of purpose. I was thinking that vehicle should always provide "extra life".

And I don't think it's unlogical - it's same thing as when vehicle gets full hit from normal attack, explodes, and commander always survives by some miracle.

I think I like it this way.

i think it should be like zaptone said

Unnecessary, extra programming work for Matlu.  It wouldn't be as fun that way.

[ZAPTONE_Z]

extra programming work HA!

ill write the code


if (fireOnCommander ==true)
{

//random number gen call
int random;
if(random==1)
{

//com is dead

}

else if(random==2)
{

//com is alive

}

}

}

}

Way to go bro.

Thanks for flamming me, and thanks for stepping up and making your own game when GD went under.  Why don't you want extra protection from transport?  I don't hear you complaining about your commander not dying when the transport is killed by a monster.  Its the same concept.

At least I did whatever I could to supply information (including ALL the statistics, including gun turrets' and Alien Blobs' defense, the initial graphics, plus suggested names - he always thought they were too long, since he had something against names 18 letters long) and tested quite thoroughly. I've earned my part of the rent. All I see you do is complain about whatever name for the game I come up with. I had been suggesting to Zap for quite some time to maybe contribute code, as he recently began taking a Java course (probably no mistakes in that submission, but a friendly disclaimer never hurts as so many companies have them). No surprise you bash him the one time he does try to be helpful.

P.S. Go back to washing the dishes.

maybe that should be left up to probabiliy as well

it would stop some over-zelous commanders from jumping into the fray with their vehicles

[matlu]

Ithink I will just leave it as it is.

BTW, anyway it's possible to get killed by fire immediately, even when you are in transport. It already happened to me two times. It may happen, when you are surrounded by 2 or more fire cells, and 2 of them "decide" to spread your way. First will destroy your vehicle, and second will kill you.
It is also possible that your fortress disappears, and you gey immediatelly killed by fire, if it "decides" to spread your way in same turn.

[Parsley]

Weird one.  Tested the game yesterday.

Put fire on, and it spread across the board, but didn't kill me or any of my critters.

Went through about 50 turns - board was covered (about 5-6 spaces always remained fire-free though)

It's ok, currently it doesn'y hurt its creator (but maybe it will be changed later)

Also ok, each fire cell currently has some chance to die out.
