Seismic?

Dragon45 · Post by **Dragon45** » 23 Jul 2006, 20:04

Just saw SeismicDistance and such tags on SVN; since ProjectileHandler was modified in addition to Unit and UnitDef, i take it that this is some property of weapons that deforms terrain independtly of unit damage/effects?

I think it a kind of radar wich spot unit in move, if the unit have a big mass, it will be detected quickly.
( I'm not sure at all )

Could perhaps be related to a thread I started here regarding an advanced radar system which caught jcnossen's attention?

Except that that is Yeha's work :)

I suggested it, but yeha didn't think it would make it very flexible

Um

So i ask again

What is seismic?!?

YAAAAAAAA!

It's a radar that detects moving units.

I hope it's not restricted to ground units...

Its just another kind of sensor, it detects movement through the ground so it isn't blocked by LOS, but can only detect units when they are moving. And yes its only for ground units, seismic disturbance from aircrafts doesnt make much sense :)

Can we have a tag/script command that will send out a pulse of sorts, such as might be created by an extractor or something?

/edit/ Yeha dude, you really need to post a little more often, I wasn't even sure you were still here till now. Keep up the good work.

Oh yeah, the federation is soon to lose the hover truck as radar! and finally have it as a listening station!

THANK YOU!

If it was implemented as a motion sensor it would detect planes as well. Depends on what the mod is going for. Also what about units that hover instead of touching the ground, can we make those not emit a signal?

How cool is that?

It should detect explosions too.

I'm a jerk, granted, but I have to agree - if it showed weapon impacts with the seismic size determined by the weapon's AoE, it would be bloody brilliant to watch a battle from far away.

You can already see explosions in areas where you don't have LoS.

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 29 Jul 2006, 20:54

Really? I thought you can only see explosions from your own weapons and explosions that are in your "aerial" LoS.
