The Double Negative Effect: Units with Negative IDs | (click for details...) | Nixck | 07-05-2016 | Cool Tricks | Design Articles |
![]() |
Excerpt from this article: "Finally after discovering this by accident, 5 years ago, I am releasing a tutorial on how to make units have negative IDs and the tricks that come along with this. I have used this trick in a couple of my maps, such as The Heatlh Potion Trick. But what is the double negative effect? It's when you give units/buildings negative unit IDs, whether by themselves or paired up with another unit to achieve new AoK tricks. I would not suggest new map makers try this because it is confusing, sometimes irritating, and you need to have a couple programs installed. First off you need to have Trigger Studio and GeniED installed on your computer. I suggest you also install Aokts with s_t_c's addon because it's really useful anyways. Now here are the steps to make negative ID unit pairs(with pictures too!)" |
