resurrectable corpses

[dcore221]

is it possible to add resurrectable wreckages to maps?

[yanom]

I doubt it, because maps must be used with many mods. For example, If i put a wreck of a mod-specific unit like CA's Meteor Controler, then tried to rez the unit while playing BA, it would crash.

[dcore221]

what about mod specific maps? i want it to work with balanced annihilation,
is this possible?

You can do it with Lua (gadget):

Code: Select all

local fid = Spring.CreateFeature("armstump_dead", 100, 100, 100)
Spring.SetFeatureResurrect(fid, "armstump")

Just tested, it won't work without SetFeatureResurrect even if feature is resurrectable (feature def).

A map with Krog wrecks everywhere would be lolz. First person to rez them wins!

Id just reclaim them...

the xyz can it be set to random instead of choosing position?

[SeanHeron]

Basiclly yes, but it'll require a little code (relatively simple), rather than being able to use a setting "random". You'll need the map widths and then use math.random(0,widthyouwant), I think. I'd post if I had a little more time.

You can include units in maps so you could make a rezzable corpse that technically works with any game. I wouldn't recommend this as the unit would not be balanced for any game.

I would advise against making the feature via lua and causing a dependency on BA. Just check if the UnitDef exists, and if so run SetFeatureResurrect. Assuming that doesn't hit a bug, you'll have a normal map for most games, and something you can rez wherever it makes sense.

If you want a randomized location, then I would suggest you include a map_armstump_dead so it still works outside of BA.

what about if i didt know the map size could random placement still work?
im using this code for a mod im making
at the minute i have resurrectable wreckages in all 4 corners on anymap but id prefer it to be random placement if possible, can this be done without knowing the map dimensions?

If you're doing this for a mod, just put the code in your mod rather than each map.

You can find the map size easily in the gadget by using Game.mapSizeX, Game.mapSizeZ.

this is what i got so far
LuaRules\Gadgets\rez.lua

Code: Select all

local fid = Spring.CreateFeature("armstump_DEAD", 0, 900, 0)
Spring.SetFeatureResurrect(fid, "armstump")

local fid = Spring.CreateFeature("armstump_DEAD", 0, 900, 100000)
Spring.SetFeatureResurrect(fid, "armstump")

local fid = Spring.CreateFeature("armstump_DEAD", 100000, 900, 0)
Spring.SetFeatureResurrect(fid, "armstump")

local fid = Spring.CreateFeature("armstump_DEAD", 100000, 900, 100000)
Spring.SetFeatureResurrect(fid, "armstump")

will put a stumpy in all corners unless the map is bigger than 100000
what do i need to add to make it random placement?

[oksnoop2]

Code: Select all

if frame % (30 * meteorInterval) == 0 then 
    -- pick a random location as the meteor spawn point
    local meteorSpawnX = math.random(Game.mapSizeX)
    local meteorSpawnZ = math.random(Game.mapSizeZ)
    local meteorSpawnY = Spring.GetGroundHeight(meteorSpawnX, meteorSpawnZ) + meteorSpawnHeight

maybe something like this can be used? I don't know.
