They aren't, but a similar effect can be achieved with counters and alter condition Yets.

It's not the object that does that. Just put the asteroid shooters in the level and increase the start time on the level. You know where you put misc info for the level such as par, etc, there's a field called start time. Give it a good healthy number such as 240.

Is there a way to display a timer that ticks down at the top of the screen?

No, but there is a way to make a timer that ticks down at the bottom.
Just set a condition for the game time to display messages. Hint, the time tick rate is twenty a second. Oh, and Eminem, stop posting in this topic.

What all needs to be done to make a level multiplayer only? I tried to modify one so that Tyrael and me could play it, and it didn't work. It kept going back to the default levels.

Slug, in your Iron Fist plug, I can't seem to fulfill the winning conditions for "Raiders of the lost Narc". Even though I've killed everything and captured both planets, I still don't get the winning condition. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Maybe you could start a thread that has to do with help topics. Or no...

Hi there! Being in the publishing business, I could probably turn your Simple Text Manual version into a miracle in Quark XPress, and then into a pdf document, readable by all (thanks to those wonderful people at Adobe!). The current manual is, shall we say somewhat lacking in printability, not to mention readability...

Is there a way to make a cruise missile type thing? I tried making a warping ship that looks like a missile and inherits destination with an arrive sequence of dying and creating a missile, but it didn't work.

Nono, just make this the arrive sequence:
-ALTER:
->OBJECT TYPE CMISSILE
-->KEEP AMMO set to OFF
Ta da! (there's a thing like that in StarLance except that it's a planet-to-planet Nuclear Missile, supposed to decimate the planet so you can send colony ships to colonize it)

Well, you could have KEEPAMMO set to ON, but you might get some strange results...

Slug, where's your new site?
By the way, tree, Geocities is a good one to use because they have an excellent file manager.

Don't have a new site. I use the Axis Software Integrated site, but I keep losing the darned link!

Except for the annoying ad. When my family subscribed to @home cable, we got 10 free megs of web space. There was a time when Apple was giving out 20, and we got that too. Now only if I was allowed to use it...

Try taking off the exclamation point. Which sounds more serious:
Behold the Avatar of Fire!
or
