MAP EDITOR
So basically I was thinking an easier way to implement ideas into the game and then I remembered you can edit a units stats in game with triggers (and also the dev was proposing an specific tool to do this function).
so I tought it would be usefull to be able to chose a unit "skin" in map editor for example.
Archer, muslim archer, viking archer, etc (its the same unit with the same stats but different "skins").
I have noticed that implementing new units takes its time and I am sure this would be an easier way to do it, making only necessary the sprite alone!!!
So whay are your ideas?

Re: unit reskins? a new way to add content?
The problem with jsons is that u need to write name of img file in them and I don't think its easy to change name to a new image that u make, so all units have n unique Id, it is psbl to make a new unit with same stats as archer (just copy paste json of archer) with a new image, but it must have n unique Id different from archer (does making it different unit from basic archer)
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me
For I watch over this world looking for those worthy to become kings, and on the way get rid of the fakes and rule over the fools

What I think we can do is adding a submenu when we select a unit just like the normal one (infantry, archers, water) but inside every unit selection square

I would rather keep it this way. Diverse stats is best.

Re: unit reskins? a new way to add content?
We can keep it both ways what I an suggesting is that for units that dont have any special abilities or effects they could work as a reskin and even if you want it to be stronger you can edit it with triggers. Like if I want my archers to look like a viking then U can just change the skin beacuse, whats super special for a viking archer right? And even though if I want it to be stringer I can edit it

Interesting actually. Implement a unit with an image but no stats as a map editor unit onlyGral.Sturnn wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 4:38 pmWe can keep it both ways what I an suggesting is that for units that dont have any special abilities or effects they could work as a reskin and even if you want it to be stronger you can edit it with triggers.

Exactly that would agilize the implementing process a ton
