Beherith added turninplaceanglelimit to BA but I cannot get it to work. If I understand correctly turninplaceanglelimit=130 and turninplacespeedlimit=0 should cause units to only slow down for sharp turns. My units slow down for any turn with these tags set.

It still looks like the tag has no effect in 88.0.

That was not helpful. What is the angle range of this tag?

It is helpful, just check where turnInPlaceAngleLimit occurs.

tip: turnInPlaceSpeedLimit & turnInPlaceAngleLimit are mutual exlusive.
tip2: the range of such values in that code part is obv. in degree (there are *180 & *360). Still you should check if there is a space-transform in the UnitDef when reading them from LuaDefs.

I did not really understand it either.

hm ok.
so reqTurnAngle is
With the wantedHeading I am lost.

But I also do not understand some fundamental things:
I thought spring units can only turn at always the same rate.
So to drive a bigger circle units still turn at the same amount per frame, just with longer pauses in between (while going forward)?
So what angle is turnInPlaceAngleLimit really compared with?

CGroundMoveType::BreakingDistance, startBreaking etc:
Isn't it spelled without "e"? (to brake = slow down, break = fall apart. note sure but google agrees)

imagine how units feel



yes



yes



no, by going faster (turning radius is a function of turnrate *and* speed)



the requested/required (reqTurnAngle) turning angle



both spellings contain an 'e', just in different places (but yes)

i guess mostly by going slower? seeing as units should already be at maxspeed most of the time?

So units look ahead and slow down before turns? Wouldnt it be better if "the turning that actually happens" slowed them?
Like
deltaHeading = currentHeading-oldHeading
slowDown = some function of deltaHeading

I thought about it and looked at stuff but now I am confused and don't even know what to ask.
Though I see why pathing always breaks. *bada-bom-szhh*

yes, or that (lower speed decreases the radius)



nonono



they do (because turnSpeed *= (maxTurnAngle / reqTurnAngle); forces them to)



stare at the two targetSpeed = ... turnSpeed ... lines until you see.



you have reached the beginning phase of enlightenment



sadly getting complicated things right is harder than getting them wrong.
