My first unit: LotR Palantír

WildWeazel · Jul 31, 2005

I made this a few months ago and just realized that I never posted the finished product it in C&C, just the private LotM forum. This is a very simple unit, with just 2 animations because that's all it needed for the mod. I may do some other animations, but I don't know what else to do with it. It is, after all, a glowing ball. There are no sounds, but I will try to put something together soon. I realize that this is not excellent quality and am open to any suggestions for improvement.

Note: The magenta in the preview is semi-transparent in-game.

It's a magical crystal ball.

Thanks Weasel!

Glad to see you brought it out into the light, WeaselOp!

Is this to be used as some sort of scout recon unit?

It looks really cool.

WildWeazel · Aug 6, 2005

It's a flag unit that can be captured an carried around, with a very high recon range and detect invisible ability. It's spawned from the Dome of the Stars GW.

The Last Conformist · Aug 7, 2005

NB: Unless it changes in C3C 1.22, detect invisible doesn't work on recon missions.

Roman Legion · Aug 13, 2005

It looks like an explosion. is that what it is.

The Last Conformist · Aug 13, 2005

@RL: mrtn already told you what it is; a magic crystal ball. From The Lord of the Rings.

Roman Legion · Aug 13, 2005

What use is it?

WildWeazel · Aug 14, 2005

And I already told you that. Of course, it can be used for anything you want, that's just how it's configuredin LotM.

tjedge1 · Aug 14, 2005

It would be an excellent recon unit with an unlimited operational range. That way it can see anywhere on the map. Like a Palantir in Lord of the Rings. You have seen the movies at least haven't you? The thing Pippen took from Gandalf because he wanted to see it again, the same thing that Saruman used to communicate with the Dark Lord Sauron.

Roman Legion · Aug 14, 2005

EH, I don't see any use for it.
