Summary0005332: Hover units can't path over water that does lots of damage
DescriptionI can't decide if it's a bug or a feature. I think it's probably a bug, but it almost feels like a feature in some respects. That said, hover units really should be able to go over damaging water without taking damage. As it is now they can't even path over it.
Steps To ReproduceUse evo:test, load up map Volcanic Basin v04. /give 1 elighttank3 and try to move it over the lava.

Magic numbers:

https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/f5b80e199f2a490fdcc8bae1430bade9bc5188af/rts/Sim/MoveTypes/MoveDefHandler.cpp#L63

A map has to have water damage < 1e+4f for hovers to path.
Also note:
https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/f5b80e199f2a490fdcc8bae1430bade9bc5188af/rts/Sim/Units/Unit.cpp#L1233

Maybe magic numbers should be a modoption?

Oh? That's interesting. Then I don't consider this a bug and it clearly is a feature. Albeit a somewhat poorly thought out feature.

is this report calling for some action?

This needs a mapinfo tag. Just randomly having this feature is unintuitive at best and a noobtrap at worst.

I'd say having your units just dying when you gave them a moveorder through damaging terrain is unintuitive and a noobtrap
