| Summary | 0000147: Zero damage is not zero. | ||||||||
| Description | Simple as that. Setting weapon damage to zero results in a damage of 1. Why, I dunno- my guess is that damage is being rounded up to prevent divide-by-zero somewhere, probably in the code for ImpulseFactor and the map deformation handler. Big problem for mod developers, on a variety of levels. Why would we want a damage of zero? 1. Because then we can have units that are 100% completely immune to a category of weapon, via the ARMOR system. 2. We might want to have a "weapon" that is really just being used for a form of special-effect (which sounds weird, but since we don't have control over the particle system...). 3. We might want a weapon that *just* has an ImpulseFactor. No damage, just a push. | ||||||||

Well, a bit of a kludge for a fix: apparently spring accepts decimal value damages. So, if you have a weapon that needs to do zero damage, have it do 0.0000000001hp of damage. Its close enough that nobody will notice the difference. Edit: the problem with this is that impulsefactor will be badly broken. However, I *think* that impulsefactor works off of default damage, so if you tell it to do 0.0000000001 damage to the units/armor group, while leaving the default damage high, it should still work as just a push. |
