New way to do the heli move technique

[Landolini]

Since I read a lot of stuff about temple moving being fixed I decided to share my way of doing it, which never got fixed. it is a bit more complicated and you won't be able to stack more than 4 temples on top of each other but it works.

Of course this also works with max level temples and in freeplay

Steps:

1. Get your towers set up
2. go to the sacrifice screen
3. activate the chinook ability
4. move the sun god (you are still in the sacrifice screen)
5. when the heli beginns moving upgrade your temple

also stacking towers on top of each other with the chinook is also still possible as you can see in my video I stacked my ten chinooks on top of each other.

^ This is exactly the way to do the original Heli-Temple move technique...

I know of no other way...

However, my understanding is that with one of the last updates, this was PATCHED.

Are you saying that on the current version of the game, you can still do this?

cheers but confused...

I might be wrong but couldn't you use the chinook ability and then go into the upgrade screen and upgrade your temple, because this did get patched. This way is working on the current version of btd 5 steam and mobile

lol...now I am REALLY confused... :P XD

Tell ya what...lemme what ur vid...Is that a current vid, something you recorded using the CURRENT VERSION of Steam BTD5?

I don't do [nor care] about Steam BTD5 Mobile...

back at ya soon, after I watch ur vid...

UPDATE:

Well, now I am TOTALLY CONFUSED...lol

What you did there in the vid is exactly how I also used the original Heli-Temple thing...

So, people have been saying this was patched. But if you just did this on the current version of the game then...what the heck? lol

I still have a high run game going at r1056...just no time to run it to the conclusion, so I have not been able to play any kind of Steam BTD5 at all for fear of wiping out that save game...Not even had a chance to look at Mastery Mode yet...

I cannot even test this Heli-Temple thing now either...

Can someone else reading this who is familiar with the original process please try again? On the current version of the game?

scratching my head...lol

sry for confusing you I just made a quick vid explaining what I meant

^ Thanks for taking time to do that...

Well...based on what that vid shows, if you are indeed running the latest version of Steam BTD5, then the people who said the Heli-Temple move technique was patched ARE WRONG...

Because that is exactly the same process that the original technique used.

So now, I guess for me, the only way I can answer my own question on this is probably for me to try this thing again myself.

Again, the issue for me is that I don't want to touch or risk my currently active save game at r1056....

What we need here is really someone like Gakm4, or DalekRuler to see this vid and try it for themselves, especially Dalek, since he/she was the first one to "discover" the whole Heli-Temple thing in the first place...

cheers and thanks again for taking time to make vid...

But from what I have seen, your technique is not new, but is exactly the same as the original :)

cheers,

I just tried it in sandbox and it worked for me... Maybe we should have verified what is said on the forums instead of just believing it... Well once i get bored with mastery mode I will have to give late game another shot but this time with the temple moving

lol...Thanks a ton Gakm4... :)

Now for sure, we know that the Heli-Temple move thing is STILL AVAILABLE in Steam BTD5 and was NOT PATCHED.

And you're right...I personally know better than to simply believe folks on forums :) :P

But there were a few replies originally on this thing supposedly being patched so I just kind of took it for granted that it was true.

Shoulda known better... lol

cheers and thanks for taking time to do that...

Well les i think you should probably update the "Official" highest round thread so it doesn't say the heli-temple move was removed... i feel not so intelligent for not checking out that rumor before believing it... well now i know i will have to test stuff out myself

[Deley18]

Well, after reading this thread I'd felt like I was fooled. :P

@Gakm4:

Indeed, I will update that thread.

BUT....A thought occurs.

What if this thing WAS actually patched, but only during actual gameplay? I mean what if it was not fixed under Sandbox? A stretch, I know...

But it seems to me the only way to really be sure would be to take a few minutes, play an actual game map, farm heavily and then to try it there for real.

Not asking you to do it, but this would seem to be the only definitive way to arrive at the final answer on this.

@JJpochara:

Well, that answers that. :)

Final word then is this:

As of the current version of Steam BTD5, the Heli-Temple move technique has NOT BEEN PATCHED and is still available in both Sandbox mode and normal solo gameplay.

'Nuff said.

Thanks a lot JJpochara for taking time to do this and then screenshot/post here...much appreciated.

DANG IT.... lolz

If ever there was one thread that you didn't quite have time to catch... XD :P

So...I gather from your reply here Sam that the whole Heli-Temple move thing was NOT INTENDED to be part of Steam BTD5? That it was indeed an accidental glitch?

Well folks, you heard it hear from the horse's mouth so to speak...

If you plan to try and use the Heli-Temple move technique to make a run at a super high solo round score of 1000+ then you guys better hurry.

:)

cheers and thanks for confirming this Sam...though I kinda wish you hadn't...
