Peewee and Flash weapon
accuracy decreased by 100 percent.

[Machiosabre]

do they shoot in the other direction then? :D

[[Krogoth86]]

Yeah - it's written in a modder's point of view and as such not perfect for a changelog. For those who still wonder: An accuracy value of 0 makes a weapon perfectly accurate. Any value >0 makes it less accurate...

That's no bugfix then. Someone thought flash were too good in the hands of someone with any amount of unit control...

[pintle]

Flash/pw weapon fx had recently been changed so that the projectile fired much faster. This, given their previous propensity for under-leading a moving target, amounted to an accuracy buff.

Flash vs gator and ak vs pw had up until that point boiled down to arm having vastly superior dps for cost, whereas core had the capability to kite the arm units, and take x number down with minimal losses.

They now seem to function somewhat as they used to, tho I haven't had many games to test thoroughly.

Stealth is still broken.
Dragon Teeth does not work.
Con explosions are too green, has some work to do.

[Gota]

wait with it...
a new release is coming,god knows whats gonna change..

[Noruas]

For Xta 9.52, not released atm but coming soon.












High Hit point units will catch fire to show progress.

[Gota]

Add red to the fire....fire is never so bright.
Besides that...nice..

.BOS scripts, aka I guess TAK scripts.

Theres a few things I need to do, not only fx wise, but randomizing the fire, add electric sparks etc. This is the simple version if you want to dissect it, very simple at the moment vongratz, add 5 points with upspring or 3do builder onto the model numbered from ignite1 to ignite5 or depending on how much you want whatever.

Copy this near the top of the .bos script somewhere...

Code: Select all

FlameControl()
{
	while( get BUILD_PERCENT_LEFT )
	{
		sleep 400;
	}
	while( TRUE )
	{
		if( Flame1 )
		{
		emit-sfx 1024 + 2 from ignite1;
		sleep 10;
		}
		if( Flame2 )
		{
		emit-sfx 1024 + 2 from ignite2;
		sleep 10;
		}
		if( Flame3 )
		{
		emit-sfx 1024 + 2 from ignite3;
		sleep 10;
		}
		if( Flame4 )
		{
		emit-sfx 1024 + 2 from ignite4;
		sleep 10;
		}
		if( Flame5 )
		{
		emit-sfx 1024 + 2 from ignite5;
		sleep 10;
		}
	sleep 10;
	return (0);
	}
sleep 10;
return (0);
}

Flameon(Func_Var_3)
{
	start-script FlameControl();
	Func_Var_3 = get HEALTH;
	if( Func_Var_3 <= 80 )
	{
		if( Flame1 == 0 )
		{
			Flame1 = 1;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 <= 60 )
	{
		if( Flame2 == 0 )
		{
			Flame2 = 1;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 <= 45 )
	{
		if( Flame3 == 0 )
		{
			Flame3 = 1;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 <= 25 )
	{
		if( Flame4 == 0 )
		{
			Flame4 = 1;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 <= 10 )
	{
		if( Flame5 == 0 )
		{
			Flame5 = 1;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 >= 90 )
	{
		if( Flame1 == 1 )
		{
			Flame1 = 0;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 >= 90 )
	{
		if( Flame2 == 1 )
		{
			Flame2 = 0;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 >= 55 )
	{
		if( Flame3 == 1 )
		{
			Flame3 = 0;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 >= 35 )
	{
		if( Flame4 == 1 )
		{
			Flame4 = 0;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	if( Func_Var_3 >= 20 )
	{
		if( Flame5 == 1 )
		{
			Flame5 = 0;
		sleep 10;
		}
	}
	start-script Flameon();
	sleep 10;
	return (0);
}

Add the lines here into create()

Code: Select all

Create()
{
	hide ignite1;
	hide ignite2;
	hide ignite3;
	hide ignite4;
	hide ignite5;
	Flame1 = 0;
	Flame2 = 0;
	Flame3 = 0;
	Flame4 = 0;
	Flame5 = 0;
	start-script Flameon();
}

Make sure you have static vars.

Code: Select all

static-var  Flame1, Flame2, Flame3, Flame4, Flame5;

And last but not least name the pieces in the .bos.

Code: Select all

piece  ignite1, ignite2, ignite3, ignite4, ignite5;

I hope you find it helpful...

Banner, like that one at the top, not wallpaper... or are you being ironic.

[pintle]

could that fire be applied to unit corpses?

[Tribulexrenamed]

If the corpse were a unit, with a cob script, then yes, it could be applied.
