wow, very good idea for a tutorial. Very useful.

Ridder Geel (Staff) - Sunday May 24, 2009 - 10:56

Ill do that later ;) (additional modules) ;)

Sulherokhh (Team Chamber Member) - Thursday May 21, 2009 - 6:44

Most, if not all, AI update modules work with additional modules (which they need) exclusively. It might be sensible to make a reference to those modules and/or define them in the same way right below the AI module.
---------------------
In adddition, work on the formatting. It's bothersome to read different sections with entirely different formats. Remove all TAB characters, replace with a single SPACE. Comment (';') lines that don't help explain should be removed as well.
Keep it up.

Looking really cool so far, can't wait to see more!

Yarrum - Monday May 11, 2009 - 4:23

Cool tutorial. With this, I might be able to get Boromir's Last Stand power to work properly. I know they did it in Elvenstar but it never seemed to work in my game.
