I thought this would be a cool contest to do, since most people have the skill to participate. What you have to do is simple: Create an effect for a nuclear missile exploding. In the past this has been done with giving a unit the mortar team missile model and upping it's scaling value -- but TFT makes alot of more elaborate effects possible. Ideas: -Mortar team missile -Flame strike -Fire doodad -Polar projections -Terrain deformation It should be possible to make a REALLY REALLY REALLY sweet nuke effect. Rules/Info: 1. Must be entered by Friday, the 25th (seeing as this isn't terribly elaborate, I think that's enough time, but if enough people ask for an extension I 'll grant it. 2. To enter send it [email protected] or post in this thread as an attachment. 3. I'm the judge 4. If you win... that's cool =) You'll get your name mentioned in this thread, and your map will be put in the trigger depository for people to use as an effect in their own maps. P.S. Bonus points to anyone who can explain to me why all footmen are left handed :mtk: |

I'll post my nuke effect in a little while... Though the reason all footmen are left handed is simple. During the first and second war with the orcs, they used up all the right handed footmen so they finally after much arguing, they said "fine, left handed people can be footmen" or it could be cause the maker of the footman model was left handed and wanted more left handed people around... |

Dude! Thats weird! Footmen, or is it feetmen, should protect their heart with their sheilds that is always the way its been here on earth, but maybe on Azeroth there is an anotomy difference, or their right hands are too tired from doing something else? |

Is it not the footman's quote which states, "Don't ask, don't tell." Homo handjobs abound. |

It gets even more complicated! You'll notice that all footmen are left-handed. However, all skeletons (which correlate with human footmen) are right-handed. All orc grunts are left-handed, but all orc grunt skeletons are right-handed! This suggests to me that there is a cult of handedness going on in the Warcraft world. |

Didn't you know that in afterlife you switch from left handed to right handed and vice versa? :) |

Make a really big mortar team missle explosion that has slow animation, also with smaller faster explosions on the sides of the explosion. THERE Edit: Also put small ancient protector missles in random places go outward and higher AND have a large crater on the ground (theres a trigger for craters) |

are we allowed to make the silo train units (unit: nuke missle) and give it a kaboom ability, aswell as timed life to emulate fule? |

Ooooo first entry... I decided to go all the way and make a ghost target a location for the nuclear strike and there is a nuclear missile silo that has to be armed for the ghost to be able to cast the ability and the nuke it really cool looking... |
| 07-23-2003, 01:50 AM | #13 |
Hehehe, 2nd entry that is eally cool with everything in it I could think of to spice it up! |

Does the ghost and the silo count on yoda's entry? This is the best nuke EFFECT not ability or game. |
