I'll take a look thanks!

I think I read somewhere that it might be possible to use a different layer when making different heights of cubes. I also found a good pathfinding formula that places nodes in the diamond grid shape, but I didn't understand the math behind the placement of them.

Could someone please explain the math used for placing the nodes? I don't get it

I want to do this:

But I have no idea how to accomplish the isometric view, as there are caps but no explanation as to what the hell is going on in them. I also want to know how to make a 'level editor' so as when you left click a cube is created and snaps to the gridspace. And also how the system would recognise when a formation of cubes makes a structure, and cubes on top of cubes but that's a bit later. And also, whatabout custom pathfinding that isn't really bad like the built in rts behaviour which gets stupid with collisions?

I have, there was some cool stuff, but I didn't understand it.

Also, concept gif:

Whatabout isometric tutorials? I want to make an isometric rts game that uses cubes to make bases.

*facepalm*

Ok, now I'm having a couple problems with the center reticle being a CoD style expanding-when-moving animation. The default animation (it contracting) plays when it's stopped. The moving animation is just it expanding. Thing is, it gets the the last frame, but when you stop and start moving again, I can't find a way for the animation to reset, so they both stay at the last frame.

New problems:

# of ants selected text only goes up to 9 then dissapears

# of ants in hill has a similar problem, somewhere around 100

Any thoughts on these problems?

Thanks! I'm also gonna try to incorporate that formations cap that someone posted earlier, 'avoid object' and the mouse movement methods mean that the ants all just end up moving in a square overlapping each other.

Why is no one helping anymore?

Updates:

Added exit hole

Added a variable so when more than 5 ants are selected the area they go to is bigger

Began HUD
