Beginners Custom CO Tutorial

This is a beginners Custom CO Tutorial work

This is a simple tutorial for beginners, new or fresh coders to want to make their own custom CO in COW

So first off you need to have this

var Constructor = function () {
    this.init = function (co, map) {
        co.setPowerStars(3);
        co.setSuperpowerStars(3);
    };

    this.activatePower = function(co, map)
    {
        var dialogAnimation = co.createPowerSentence();
        var powerNameAnimation = co.createPowerScreen(GameEnums.PowerMode_Power);
        dialogAnimation.queueAnimation(powerNameAnimation);

        var units = co.getOwner().getUnits();
        var animations = [];
        var counter = 0;
        units.randomize();
        for (var i = 0; i < units.size(); i++)
        {
            var unit = units.at(i);

            var animation = GameAnimationFactory.createAnimation(map, unit.getX(), unit.getY());
            animation.writeDataInt32(unit.getX());
            animation.writeDataInt32(unit.getY());
            animation.writeDataInt32(2);
            animation.setEndOfAnimationCall("ANIMATION", "postAnimationHeal");
            var delay = globals.randInt(135, 265);
            if (animations.length < 5)
            {
                delay *= i;
            }
            animation.setSound("power0.wav", 1, delay);
            if (animations.length < 5)
            {
                animation.addSprite("power0", -map.getImageSize() * 1.27, -map.getImageSize() * 1.27, 0, 2, delay);
                powerNameAnimation.queueAnimation(animation);
                animations.push(animation);
            }
            else
            {
                animation.addSprite("power0", -map.getImageSize() * 1.27, -map.getImageSize() * 1.27, 0, 2, delay);
                animations[counter].queueAnimation(animation);
                animations[counter] = animation;
                counter++;
                if (counter >= animations.length)
                {
                    counter = 0;
                }
            }
        }
        units.remove();
    };


    this.activateSuperpower = function(co, powerMode, map)
    {

            }

Feel free to copy that code block to get started!

Now you need some stats, just mainly your Custom Co D2D, Power & Super Power

Stats Code Library (D2D, other abilities & ects)

Terrain Codes (Modified terrain itself)

Weather Codes (Weather manipulations)

Building (Props for income bonus)

Or you could visit Github for some COs coding Resource work https://github.com/Robosturm/Commander_Wars/tree/master/resources/scripts/cos

If you got your very first setup (if you got copy it from the code block above) you good to go follow this next step!

Stats, Co zone & abilities

This is the second part of the tutorial
