Fun Fact: There's a random mission that makes you play the first 45 rounds on castle using only road spikes, pineapple bombs, and farms. Honestly one of the worst random missions because it's not only just spam to win, but you also have to use the worst item in the game - pineapple bombs. Speaking of them, objectively, the Monkey Ace's pineapple bomb upgrade will always be the worst upgrade in BTD5 and every BTD game ever. I will never be convinced otherwise lol.

Oh wow that's crazy I actually never did that Random Mission, I think I have 85 left to complete still

@Supersonic6427 7 ай бұрын

Honestly, I really wish the random missions were a little more interesting and actually difficult. I've completed all 255, and a large majority of them are very repetitive and most of the time boring. I did get to learn some stuff from them like the Glaive Lord can pop camo. I thought that was a BTDB exclusive since it seems overtime the game started buffing certain towers like the ice monkey so they can pop camo.

Some other towers you can place down in this challenge (but must upgrade all the way to that path) is 4-0 sub monkey and village. I wouldn't count 4-0 tack shooter because its projectile is fire while 4-0 sub monkey's weapon is an aura of radiation. However, you can argue that the bloontonium atoms are shooting the radiation outwards, therefore counting the radiation as a projectile.

@Phenomix 7 ай бұрын

Oh yeah the 4-0 sub would've been a great idea. Unfortunately I do have the Pro Portable Lake unlocked, which adds an attack to it, but it's not really a projectile attack anyways so idk

unnecessarily in-depth technical detail here cuz i got rambly. immediate failure, if we're analyzing this on a technical level. spike piles are Projectiles. a "Projectile" is a physical object in the game world that can collide with bloons as well as use "Movement" (though obviously road spikes don't do that). when colliding with bloons (or when terminating, in some special cases), it executes some or all of its nested tasks, including Damage. RoadSpikes is a tower that can only be placed on the track, and when placed, it fires its weapon and immediately destroys itself. the weapon spawns a Projectile with 10 pierce, which collides with any bloon touching it, every frame that the bloon is touching it, and which has graphics to visually show its pierce. the Projectile executes a Damage task (Piercing, 1 damage) on hit bloons. pineapples are legal though! the ExplodingPineapple tower behaves in pretty much exactly the same way, but instead of a Projectile, its weapon spawns a three-second TimerFire with a pineapple graphic and a countdown graphic. after the timer ends, it spawns an AreaOfEffect with 50 Range and 40 MaxTargets, plus an Effect task with an explosion graphic (Effects with the "Explosion.json" graphic automatically play the explosion sfx). the AreaOfEffect executes a Damage task (Explosive, 1 damage) on hit bloons. Bloonchipper is actually just about completely illegal! It uses a Projectile spawned on the target in order to move it. very technical exclusion though, i would not blame you for allowing this even with this knowledge in mind. legal and hypothetically-at-all-useful towers for this challenge would include - 4/x Tack Shooter (AreaOfEffect) - the entire Sniper tower (no projectile, just applies Damage and StatusEffects tasks directly to bloons. the Supply Drop ability spawns an aircraft tower which itself spawns a Collectable that grants cash) - x/4 Ninja ability - Ice Monkey up to 4/2, plus x/4 Ice ability (the freeze attack, Arctic Wind's slow aura, and the Absolute Zero ability are AreaOfEffect . ice shards are in fact projectiles, but so long as an x/4 Ice Monkey never attacks, its ability is completely legal, as it does not apply ice shards to bloons... come to think of it, it would make a lot of sense for it to that. buuuut it doesn't) - x/4 Glue ability (very silly option tho) - x/4 Bucc ability (the task that spawns its harpoon is literally a "Harpoon" task, not a "Projectile" task, so it is legally not a projectile); _technically_ x/2 Crows Nest with the Specialty (grants camo to nearby towers. but like, just use a Radar Scanner Village) - Exploding Pineapple road item - Monkey Village (the Energy Beacon attack is a ChainTasks task, exactly like Apprentice lightning, just configured to only hit one bloon each shot. not a Projectile) - Banana Farm (Collectables are not Projectiles) - Mortar Monkey (no Projectiles here, just AreaOfEffect directly at the target location) - x/4 Heli abilities (Collectables are, again, not Projectiles. Redeploy is also obviously not a projectile. just make sure the heli doesn't get too close to a bloon, it will fire) - Submerged Subs (AreaOfEffect, not Projectiles) - x/4 Engi ability (TowerModifier, not a Projectile) - x/4 Chipper ability (the ability can stall Camos even when the tower itself can't detect them); you can also use it as a Farmer with its Specialty-enabled CollectCollectables task, i guess

Thank you for giving such a technical explanation and sharing so much game knowledge! If you'd ever ne down to talk on something like Discord just let me know, it would really help being able to ask you some questions for future challenges if you wouldn't mind. I do think that it's fair to say, from the perspective of the viewer, a lot of those things would feel like projectiles that don't technically count. Like I knew the Sniper uses hitscan and directly applies damage to its target, but the game wants us to believe that the Sniper is firing a projectile bullet. I was going to use the Ninja but I just couldn't find a spot where it wouldn't attack any bloons lol.

@5h3i1ah_and_Nik0 11 күн бұрын

[|@@DialMforMartyr the real-world definition of a projectile, is an object that is thrown or shot forwards with force, and that is the definition Phenomix went by when defining the rules of this challenge. and that's a perfectly valid way to define the challenge! i just wanted to get nerdy and technical about this game that i love to mod, and in this game's files, in the way that things are constructed, a "Projectile" Task is simply an object that _can_ move, _can_ collide with bloons, and _can_ execute tasks when colliding or terminating, as well as having other properties to define its visuals and motion properties and whatnot. but it doesn't _have_ to do any of these things. this "Projectile" Task can be defined to make an object with no movement, such as road spike piles, or it can define an object that spins around a tower like Glaive Lord glaives, or it can define an object that clings to bloons like the Beekeeper's bees, or it can define an orbital laser that shoots down from the sky and follows your cursor and leaves a plasma trail like the Bloonsday Device Pro. every single one of these objects is considered a "Projectile" in the game's code, even if they don't behave like a real-world projectile. a "Projectile" Task in BTD5 is not the same as the real-world definition of a projectile, it's an abstract object with specific technical behaviors that can be utilized to do a variety of things.|]
