Proposal split tags maxslope and maxwater wrt to unit build

[smoth]

Ok, here is the deal, we have move def classes and we have the unit def.

in the unit def tags like:
minWaterDepth
maxWaterDepth
maxSlope

are also used in pathing AND where a building can be built.

so what I want to request is that the devs give us tags like:
minWaterDepth
maxWaterDepth
maxSlope
AND
minBuildableWaterDepth
maxBuildableWaterDepth
maxBuildableSlope

the buildable versions would allow us to specify a buildable slope without conflicting with unit movement.


SMOTH IS FUCKING UP BA AGAIN!

ok, ok, here me out...

I can sit down and write a small bit of lua to add to unitdefs_post and it will create the needed tags.. aka your favorite brand of TA will not be effected.

[knorke]

can you explain what

the buildable versions would allow us to specify a buildable slope without conflicting with unit movement.

means?
What use is it to make a unit buildable in a spot it can not reach or get away from?

[Forboding Angel]

Well for example, sometimes units aren't mobile but internally are actually mobile units. Case in point, BA nanotower.

[Pxtl]

I always assumed that stuffing the movement tags into the unit's unitdef was used for building. Is that not the case? That is, the distinction you need you can get depending on which file you put the tag in.

[smoth]

not to my understanding.
