Stoned units

Post by Khadrelt »

When you double-click on a unit in Loathing, it gives you the option of making that unit 'stone.' According to the documentation, this makes the unit stone upon entering the level. However, I can't get it to work. When I select this option, they're not stone when I start the game.

So...is there a better way to make a unit stoned from the beginning of a map than making something that detonates immediately with a stone damage area of effect detonation?

Nope. The stoning box never worked, I don't know why but it just doesn't. The Area of effect stoning damage seems like the best way. I see no draw back from it anyways.

I am on a Mac :)

Too bad. That box would come in handy once in a while.

it is very handy when you want to affect stampede flags to one and only one team. If a flag is stoned, no one from another team can capture it!

That's the only way I have used the flag to date, and as Zeph says it works brilliantly. It is, in fact, the only way to have team-specific flags afaik.

I never knew that box was useful for anything. Does it have any other uses?

It's also useful if you can't quite reach the top shelf in your kitchen.
Lots of Myth stuff at http://mythgraveyard.org.
Sometimes I put hard to find stuff in my my Udogs folder.
