Are there any circumstances under which units with a movement class with speedmodclass = 3 (ship) can move on land, or under it, or float above it? This is for the sand worm map. I can't think of any other way to use the native pathfinder to avoid rocks. The rocks are a different terraintype, and there's no water on the map, so ship movement multiplier can be set to 0.0. I made a unit
Code: Select all
underworm = {
movementClass = "UNDERSAND",
maxVelocity = 1.0,
acceleration = 1.0,
turnRate = 100,
turnInPlace = false,
waterline = -150,
crushResistance = 99999,
blocking = false,
buildPic = "sworm.png",
canMove = true,
description = "I'd like to be under the sand, in a sand worm's garden.",
footprintX = 1,
footprintZ = 1,
iconType = "sworm",
levelGround = false,
maxDamage = 9999,
name = "Sand Worm",
objectName = "swormOpenMouth-180_50out-r45.s3o",
script = [[nullscript.lua]],
-- stealth = true,
-- canCloak = true,
-- initCloaked = true,
customParams = {
ignoreplacementrestriction = true,
},
},
and movement class
Code: Select all
UNDERSAND = {
speedmodclass = 3,
crushstrength = 0,
footprintx = 1,
footprintz = 1,
maxslope = 90,
maxwaterslope = 90,
minwaterdepth = -9999,
avoidmobilesonpath = false,
},
it can't move, which, yes, is probably how it should be.

under it: enable and use MoveCtrl for the unit (
https://springrts.com/wiki/Lua_MoveCtrl)
on land: change the unit's MoveDef to one with speedmodclass 0 or 1 (

float above it: change the unit's MoveDef to one with speedmodclass 2 (same way as above)

Terrain can have different speedmodifiers for four types: tank, kbot, hover, ship
You could pick one move-type and decide that this type is only used for worms.
The "ship" type can not move on land. (If you use Spring.MoveCtrl.SetMoveDef then it stops being a "ship"?)
And if is this meant to work with existing mods, then all move-types are used in basically every mod by various non-worm units.

this is a clearer description of my problem than I gave. The only reason I wanted to use ship was because on a map without water, it wouldn't cause a whole class of a mod's units to stop working. I'm using the past tense because you've convinced me this is not possible. Oh well, the non-unit worm's current ability to navigate rocks isn't so bad. I could implement A* in Lua I suppose.
edit:
would allow it to move, but the whole point was to get the pathfinder to navigate around non-sand terrain types for me.

the way we used to fake that was detecting if it was on water or not and used a hover fwiw.

Just use a hover movetype and script to discover when it hits land and turn upright = false and have it sprout some treads or something.
