Something captured should stop being paralyzed

[Caydr]

If something's paralyzed and you capture it, it remains paralyzed. Kind of a bummer. Can that be fixed?

Feature Request.

Ask for a new tag or function to eliminate paralysis when a unit changes hands. It must not apply to when allies share units willingly.

Well you cant wait a emp pulse to magically stop working then you need it... :)

Well, are there ways to have weapons deliver a special (lua-scripted) effect that could mimic a stun? Or are you stuck using the engine-defined EMP effect? It seems like special-effect-damage is one of those things that could be heavily scripted without borking the AIs. After all, all an AI needs to know about a weapon is "who do I shoot it at".

LuaRules/main.lua:

Code: Select all

function AllowUnitTransfer(unitID, unitDefID, oldTeam, newTeam, capture)
  if (capture) then
    Spring.SetUnitHealth(unitID, { paralyze = -1 })
  end
  return true
end

What I mean is like "you can cut the leg of a enemy out and then want it to grow back after he comes to your side"

function AllowUnitTransfer(unitID, unitDefID, oldTeam, newTeam, capture)
  if (capture) then
    Spring.SetUnitHealth(unitID, { paralyze = -1 })
  end
  return true
end

Is that implemented then? Does it need to be activated by an FBI switch?

Next release of Spring, put that in LuaRules/main.lua and it will do what you wanted. Lua is pretty cool.

[Caydr]

lua IS pretty cool!!!

What other cool stuff can I do with it?? :D

Seriously, pretty much everything. Ask what you can't do with it.

[Caydr]

Can it rid the world of bad hairpieces?

[Boirunner]

If by the world you mean altored_divide then yes, probably.

Bear (bare? no I think it's bear) with me, for I am inept.

You are saying, I add nothing more and nothing less than:

Code: Select all

function AllowUnitTransfer(unitID, unitDefID, oldTeam, newTeam, capture)
  if (capture) then
    Spring.SetUnitHealth(unitID, { paralyze = -1 })
  end
  return true
end

to a brand-new, empty file called "main.lua" in the following directory:

AASpring24.sdz
\LuaRules

And units will no longer remain paralyzed when captured?

Thanks
