Hello clickers!

I have been working on this project for quite some time now. I had originally intended to release it opensource last month, but didn't finish it in time. The idea around the game is a horizantal tower defense. In which you are given a main building to protect in the center. Then there are four building slots (two on each side). As of now, you can place three different turrets and repair your base.

The problem is in the third turret. The idea was, since it took up so much space, was to give the player an extra space on top to build from. Sounds simple right? Well, the problem is, when the third turret gets destroyed, the building space just hangs in the air! I have tried several methods. Including the current one which the extra space is another object other then the original spaces. It sounds simple to solve.

How to destroy an object in mid-air when it's support structure is gone? Check for overlaps? Check, didn't work. Have player destroy it by clicking? Check, stops the next tower from having an extra object. Then it won't appear til the next object is placed. I have yet to try to give the object it's own health and try and destroy it that way, but that's next on the list.

If anybody has any ideas on how to fix this, then please let me know! I'm not worried bout the code, since it's open source anyway. Please?
(And thanks in advance. I will post later if it works.)

Im not able to help right now but about the file hosting stuff and adverts, MMF users should try this -

http://mfa.aquadasoft.com

Basically it is free file hosting for .mfa files. It's also to the right on this page in the Community Links section but im thinking clickteam should maybe add descriptions text by those links so people know what they are.

Other than that i always use box.net but im not sure if they are still a free site but if so check it out as it's simple and no adverts as far as i know.

Well, lets try this then. Oh, and that method I thought about trying? That didn't work either.

And believe it or not, this is one of my few projects that I actually have fun playtesting.

Oh lovely, gimme a minute.

Apparently, MFA repository isn't acknowledging the file for some reason, or it's not existing, just try the filefront link.

My bad.
