was reading unitdef.cpp.

Some interesting stuff:

Code: Select all

canSelfRepair = udTable.GetBool("canSelfRepair", false);
decloakOnFire    = udTable.GetBool("decloakOnFire",    true);

kamikazeDist = udTable.GetFloat("kamikazeDistance", -25.0f) + 25.0f; //we count 3d distance while ta count 2d distance so increase slightly
kamikazeUseLOS = udTable.GetBool("kamikazeUseLOS", false);

bankingAllowed = udTable.GetBool("bankingAllowed", true);

verticalSpeed = udTable.GetFloat("verticalSpeed", 3.0f); // speed of takeoff and landing, at least for gunships

turnInPlaceDistance = udTable.GetFloat("turnInPlaceDistance", 350.f);
turnInPlaceSpeedLimit = ((turnRate / SPRING_CIRCLE_DIVS) * ((PI + PI) * SQUARE_SIZE)) * (speed / GAME_SPEED);
turnInPlaceSpeedLimit = udTable.GetFloat("turnInPlaceSpeedLimit", std::min(speed, turnInPlaceSpeedLimit));

fallSpeed         = udTable.GetFloat("fallSpeed",    0.2);
unitFallSpeed     = udTable.GetFloat("unitFallSpeed",  0);

transportMass     = udTable.GetFloat("transportMass",    100000.0f);
minTransportMass  = udTable.GetFloat("minTransportMass", 0.0f);
^so there is a way to delimit min size!

flareSalvoSize  = udTable.GetInt("flareSalvoSize",  4);
flareSalvoDelay = udTable.GetInt("flareSalvoDelay", 0) * GAME_SPEED;
^salvos? wtf?

usePieceCollisionVolumes = udTable.GetBool("usePieceCollisionVolumes", false);
^piece collistion?

[Pxtl]

I assume the ^ things are yours.

Does anybody even use Spring flares?

[smoth]

don't know man. don't remember seeing them.

[SinbadEV]

doesn't the XTA raven use salvos... maybe check it and see if it uses salvo flares too?

[bobthedinosaur]

how does a salvo work compared to a Projectiles or burst?

[smoth]

don't know as far as I know it is related to flares but I don't see a salvo count.

I could have looked that up but I am trying to understand the aircraft code.

[knorke]

random thread is random...
can you post what you want to explain/want explained?
most of those are in wiki already..
ie piece collisions do work, Spring.GetUnitLastAttackedPiece to get last hit piece.

doesn't the XTA raven use salvos... maybe check it and see if it uses salvo flares too?

err i think flares are those chaff flares airplanes can throw to fool missiles. it has nothing to do with weapons.

[FLOZi]

For Salvo read Burst.

wrt piece cols:

I haven't seen a flare in use for a long time, though I liked them in AA or XTA. Can't remember which. Five years ago?

Iirc only the versions of AA that introduced flares actually had them visible - after that some bug or other made them invisible, but still functional. Iirc, the scout, the radar plane, and the stealth fighters all had flares, although the stealth fighter's flares were so weak as to be practically useless.

War To Oblivion uses flare too on the B-52 bombers
i dont know how it looks on other mod
