Spawner


There is a new object, the unit spawner. You can fin them in the object list from the custom battle editor. It will spawn the selected units every 2.5 seconds. You can enable the endless mode or choose an amount of waves to spawn.

Custom units


Next requested feature: Custom units.

You can change the following things and save up to ten custom units:

  • Weapon
  • Shield
  • Armor (Helmet, Chest plate, arm plate, leg plate)
  • Name
  • Description
  • Health(1-300)
  • Attack range (1-3 for melee weapons, 5-50 for ranged weapons)

 

This new editor allows you to create all kind of units, like armored archers, long range archers, custom knights, ...

Performance improvements


There are some performance improvements for the unit spawner.

Some starting methods of units are now much faster and I've also improved the speed of methods, which will improve the performance of the game.
