The Area damage gadget by KDR_11k & google_frog

[Erik]

How to get it to work?

I have the main file in /gadgets folder and the definition file in /Configs folder with the weapon names inside, i does not work however.

Am i missing something?

pastebin your gadget, config and infolog.

[Google_Frog]

These files?

http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/source/ ... damage.lua

http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/source/ ... e_defs.lua

(Of course your config file should be a bit different)

[Erik]

yes those two

infolog says:

Code: Select all

[f=0000000] Loaded gadget:  Area Denial         <weapon_area_damage.lua>

from definitions:

local weapons = {
Corroder_CorrosolThrower= { radius = 55, damage = 5, duration = 900, rangeFall = 0.3, timeFall = 0},
}

(tried both standalone weapons and ones withing a lua definition as seen here)

Try lower case.

Works now. I could swear i tried lowercase before and it didn't work.
Thx ^^

Some more questions/suggestions/ideas regarding this:

Is it possible to intercept the damage done, for example to make certain units immune?

Is it possible to exclude certain unit types (VTOL i.e.)?

Is there a way to check wether a unit touches an area with its hit(whatever) or footprint instead of the current behaviour which means the unit centre must be in the zone (example: big building - small radius of zone, when the zone is created at the borders of the hitbox it wont do anything)?

It's Lua, you can modify the logic in any way you want.

Yes to all.
