Animated foreground/backgrounds

[Dougie]

Hi,

I know I haven't posted much on here before, but I wanted to make this suggestion anyway because I think it could make for some interesting map concepts. Admittedly I haven't looked at the map editor that much and am basing this on the levels i've seen so far.

I'd be interested in seeing movable foregrounds as obstacles, and animated backgrounds, to help liven up some of the maps!

backgrounds may just require allowing animated sprites or gifs which could be placed somewhere in the background planes.

The foreground would allow for making some interesting tactical maps, and make them appear slightly less static.

I realize this would be a lot of programming, so probably something to consider if there is going to be a second release!

Please feel free to point out if this has been suggested before, i couldn't see a thread on it!

I am not very familiar with animating objects, but I know you can do it.
I have seen several maps that have animated objects.

Not sure what you are referring to, but Altitude does not support animated objects. The Animated Poly function is used internally for the developers and can't be used when you are making a map. Maybe in Altitude 2: Wings of Liberty!

Maimer, I hope you didn't just give start to another "Altitude 2" suggestion thread....
