AreaOfEffect

Post by PauloMorfeo »

AreaOfEffect is radius or diameter of the explosion?

Also, each 1x1 of foot print equals how much in AreaOfEffect size? (i remember someone asked that before but i can't find it)

Radius, what else?

I think one footprint block is 16 units but don't quote me on that. In OTA one unit was one pixel and Springuses a proportional scale.

As in Radius x Radius x Radius x Radius? As in, a AreaOfEffect of 8 would end up in a true area of effect of 4096?

You are joking, right? That can not be.
