movedata

What are the tags and values possible in there? How to make a unit land only? Haven't found a reference around here.

[bobthedinosaur]

to restrict a unit to land you want to give it a lower water depth, but not too low as it cant cross any shallows, which are important on many maps.

I am actually about to go do some lua for movedata...

known tags....

Code: Select all

	Name
	FootprintX
	FootprintZ
	CrushStrength
	SlopeMod
	MaxSlope
	BadSlope
	MaxWaterSlope
	BadWaterSlope

So here are some questions:

A) Do hover type units still require hover in the name?
B) Are footprints still treated as squares or did that ever get fixed?
C) how DOES crushstrength work?
D) are all the above tags valid? What ones am I missing?
E) what are the depths measured in? elmos, footprints, height units?
F) how DOES spring measure slopes? is it angle or what?

[Kloot]

A) yes
B) squares only
C) if a unit's MD crush strength > an obstacle's mass, the obstacle can be run over
D)

valid:

Code: Select all

name
footprintX
crushStrength
slopeMod
maxSlope

missing:

Code: Select all

minWaterDepth
maxWaterDepth
depthMod
heatMapping
heatMod
heatProduced
subMarine

E) elmos
F) http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 32#p296032

What determines mass, I use the mass tag, what is the equation using spring's metal energy stuff?

Is there a feature mass tag?

[Kloot]

what is the equation using spring's metal energy stuff?

For features: mass = metal * 0.4 + maxHealth * 0.1
For units: mass = metalCost

Is there a feature mass tag?

Yes.

Fed the wiki, anyone see anything else to be added?

[Caydr]

Some useful stuff here, might already be covered, I'm lazy.

So what does DepthMod stand for?

So what does DepthMod stand for?

Speed modifier from depth.

IE how much to slow the amphibs down when they're underwater.
