    Hi all...I just had an idea..

    Currently walls are a singular block unit.

    Now with the new line building coming online and area commands and all that, I think it would look good ascetically if the wall sections flowed into each other graphically when built adjacent to each other. That way you could have a solid-looking block of wall instead of disjointed segments.

    This has been done many times in previous rts games. Personally I think it would fit well into PA.

    Thoughts...?

    Sounds good to me. Depends on how hard it would be to implement. Couldn't a modder just do that with the current tools available? Not sure.

    It would involve merging the wall textures together to make it look smooth...no idea if that is moddable or not

    Lots of threads on this out there.

    If I remember correctly, Uber is working on this. Or will work on this. Don't quote me on that though.

    Even so.

    Connected walls is a REALLY low priority compared to everything else.

    Currently I've still seen units (bots specifically) magically squeeze through the really tiny gaps between wall segments. Probably a bug though.
