Re: Lesser known game mechanics

When damage is dealt to a unit from different angles a bonus damage multiplier is done depending on how surrounded it is, the maximum modifier is 150% damage, for dealing attacks from 180 degrees on a single target. For this reason always aim to place pyros on opposite sides of a com when assassina...

Re: bind question

I am not sure you can bind a key to a modifier. You can bind keys to actions, and one of these actions can be "fakemeta", which allows you to bind any key to the "meta" modifier. Other than this particular one, i don't think it is possible. Also, "/" is not a modifier, ...

Re: BA10s "official letter" to Chris Taylor

This is just my opinion - nothing official. Models: Without remaking clean models from scratch, indeed there would be a serious copyright issue. I think that is the most problematic thing about BA. Sounds: I am not convinced that the sounds OTA used aren't part of opensource soundbanks. I do think t...

I'm just gonna make this clear once. No, i haven't trolled a 9.46 game with a "nuke exploit". Yes, lately, i felt like using nukes more often, for an unrelated reason. I was interested in finding the best course of action when nuking enemy team. Yes, i discovered that hax. Yes, i had a wid...

Re: Enhanced Damage Dealt Counter gadget

A quick Spring.Echo(unitID, attackerID) in RerouteDamages doesn't show any sign of it being repeated for a single unitID. Is it possible that it's not actually recursive, but that the amount of UnitPreDamaged and AddUnitDamage calls in a very small time still trigger that issue ? They are all called...

Re: Enhanced Damage Dealt Counter gadget

Hello again ! So i went and rewrote a gadget with a similar purpose. Instead of aiming for more accurate endgame stats i just focused on atleast rerouting the damages when they could result in a unit gaining experience. Here's the code i'm using: function gadget:GetInfo() return { name = "Damag...

Re: [Feature Request] Unsynced CEGs

It is orientated for players indeed. The question right now is wether or not the players need to tune down max particles in order to save some perfs, and have had some negative impact from doing so, which could be helped by having lowQ cegs that don't cost as much particles (fit into the particle li...

[Feature Request] Unsynced CEGs

Relative to this mantis ticket: https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=6058 What motivates this is that using maxparticles count is a limit that can "hide" some effects completly and wont provide an equally lowered quality on all CEGs, meaning while it helps with framerates it can alter ...

Re: AllowUnitTransport(Load/Unload)

I've started with a simple distance check and allowing if 3D distance is under said value for air transports. It seems to be doing the trick for now!
I'm planning on improving via MoveCtrl-ing the loading/unloading planes if needed. That should allow consistency of load/unload times.

Thank you :)

Re: Weird bounce

What you call "avoidance", is that the green arrow in debugpath mode? The ones that appear when a unit gets close to another one and seems to create a turn in the opposite direction to avoid it? Kinda make sense but I still want to make sure. // do not avoid statics (it interferes too much...
