fat commander crushed my windmill!

it's because you made a vehicle lab on icy run

the doctor told you not to reclaim them sumos. But you cant hold back, cant you?

[Jools]

Do you have the disable reclaim widget? That can make commander crush things...

no.

I think it is just normal bouncing units sometimes do. Often they take a bit damage from that but that was the first time I saw something get destroyed.

There is some weirdness in the way Spring calculates damage from "skidding" collision impulses, which looks as follows

Code: Select all

damage = dot(-speed(collider), norm(pos(collider) - pos(collidee))) * mass(collider) * 0.02

(for this demo: damage = 3.034783 * 4000.000000 * 0.02 = 242.78264)

and can be enough to destroy fragile little windmills because XTA commanders are fat like yomomma (for example arm_commander.fbi: mass=4000) and move fast enough to make it significant, especially when trying to slip between two buildings.

(proof that the engine can trololo you too, only moar randomly)

Note there is a mod-rule 'allowUnitCollisionDamage' to disable collisions damaging units, though it won't be needed in 92.0 due to the collision handling rewrite done for this.

he who gets his commander dropped into a windmillhouse farm - so the pinball effects set in wins..
