Repulsor Tags

I was reading in the wiki about repulsor tags and I wanted to get them to work.

They are supposed to go inside the weapon .tdf files, but I can't figure out how to use them. Does anyone have a sample .tdf file that creates a repulse field around a unit?

Code: Select all

[IMP_SDREPULSE]
	{
	name=Star Destroyer Shields;
	PlasmaRepulser=1;
	rendertype=4;
	lineofsight=1; 
	turret=1;

	repulseenergy=0;
	repulseforce=10; 
	repulserange=1024;
	repulsespeed=0.01;

	[DAMAGE]
		{
		default=1500;
		}
	}

Thank you Gnome. That worked perfectly :)

I'm not sure you even need the [DAMAGE] portion of it at all, really. I haven't done much experimenting with Repulsors. I believe I just copy pasted one of Buggi's repulsors from long ago...

You may also want to include the normal range tag too. So that the player can see it's AoE.

Very good point, Kuroneko.

Yeah, you need the Damage tag. Without it, Spring complains. I just set the default to 0, and left it at that.
