rabidsnypr Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 So i started my day playing some C&C. I got beat by this dude once and i was like ok and made a ng. So he got mad at the map i picked and left. So i left an joined his game and another dude came in. 3 way battle.ok cool. So we both got beat and I was gdi. He had crates on and 1 of my guys got stealth. So he is so dedicated to the game and is trying everything to find him. I'm just doing stuff around the house and enjoying this. here's a video i made with my phone and uploaded to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muck1qlws_c&feature=youtu.be its been over an hour.

Jacko Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 this kind of crap is exactly why we can't have nice things. Do you reckon its possible to create some kind of stealth remover that uncloaks stealths when that is the only unit a player owns (I know this is a thing in RA with subs). I'm guessing the answer is a stern no but I feel its worth asking once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidsnypr Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 dude. this guys has been stomping people all day. it's a game and you guys cant realize it. you are so dedicated to win and wonder why you dont have a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pichorra Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Build a communications center. After you took down all non-stealth units, your enemy stealth stuff will show on your minimap. So you can simple forceattack the cell. [edit] But I have to agree that a douchebag like you must be banned from this community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 this guys has been stomping people all day. I doubt it. wonder why you dont have a life. I'm on holiday, get used to it. Build a communications center. After you took down all non-stealth units, your enemy stealth stuff will show on your minimap. So you can simple forceattack the cell. I didnt think that was a thing, I knew about hidden stealth units show an attack cursor on the minimap but not this oops accidental double post can someone delete the previous one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Never heard of any such logic either. There are several tricks to detect stealth, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's a game, so don't be a troll? I've, also, never heard of this anti Stealth logic. I'll try to remember that, though, sounds super handy. -Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm saying there's no such logic, White. A player not having any buildings does not magically reveal stealth units on radar. There are tons of tricks, though. The most obvious one is building a repair bay / refinery / other sufficiently large building and moving it over your base to find red spots in the placement grid. Another relies on the fact the stealth logic forces the cursor to show the Move cursor, even if moving on that location would normally not be possible with that unit. For example, helicopters can't move on tiberium, beaches or buildings' concrete bibs. So if you select a helicopter and get a move cursor there... there's a stealth unit on that cell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn2mc Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm also pretty sure that you can see allied stealth tanks on radar, but I think for that to happen the guy with the stealths has to be allied with you, rather than the other way around.

CCHyper Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Would a Short Game mode no be a better logic to implement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 cn2mc: Don't you just see them on your screen too, then? CCHyper: Interesting idea... should simply be the equivalent of the Buildings Destroyed trigger from single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn2mc Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 cn2mc: Don't you just see them on your screen too, then? No. But my memory about seeing them on radar might be a bit hazy too, it was too long ago (like over 10 years), and on a coop map with scripted AI. Maybe I'll try and see if it actually works the next time I play a 2v2. I think it's just one of those little ally things in TD, like the way you can see how much money there is in yout ally's harvs and refs. Same for helicopter ammo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Oh, that's a pity, that would be really good logic to put into the game It's kinda surprising that WW didn't think to put SOMETHING like that in. But if it ran by "buildings destroyed" wouldn't someone/everyone win at the very start, because everyone has an MCV and not a con yard? -Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 i think in these cases an mcv is counted as a building, or isnt counted until a single building is built (i.e. is fired as soon as building count drops back down to zero) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I already used this trick online. Maybe Iran implemented it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r34ch Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 keep on judging me. You've created a thread in a tiny community just to show off your lame trolling attempt in a 10yr old videogame. Your unrelated reply to the first comment is nothing more than a blanketed insult to people who play videogames and with no clue of irony point out the fact you play another 10yr old videogame using bots. Your avatar would be cute if you were 15, but I can tell you're not. She's not that into you. You think you're trolling us and getting kicks, but really you're projecting your feelings of low self worth. If you want to get a life, get a life. But first deal with whatever issues you're struggling to get over, cause you ain't gonna solve them in an online videogame forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
