Transport "Load Flood"?

Post by Forboding Angel »

We have land flood as an unload method. Do we have a method for loading in the same manner?

Uh, helps if ou describe it fully.

You want the aircraft to land, wait for all units to load up (ones that ahve been given a load-onto command, or giving area load and waiting until the transport is full?), then fly off?

I did explain it fully...

I want transports to load exactly like they unload when on land flood. In other words, within a certain radius of the transport, all units in the load circle (if they are within range ofc) get instaloaded. The transport doesn't need to land or anything.

This is exactly the way land flood works but in reverse.

You want the transporter to also have a tractor beam?

You should probably write a gadget for it.

loadingradius sets the distance needed to load a target. After that I think he is suggesting your load animation be something like "move blah now;" so all your shit happens virtually instantly.

This would create the illusion of instant.

I think that is where knorke is going.

I just did a search for quickScoop in the CPP, H and LUA files. I figured you were joking but don't purposefully put information you know to be incorrect out there when someone may search, read this thread then become confused.

Isn't that what CMD.LOAD_UNITS does if its given mappos+radius?

edit: Oh, "insta-loaded". Hmm, I don't think there is a luarules command to instantly force-load a unit into a transport. I guess it would need to be done via the unitscript, with an effective zero load time per unit. Or you'd have to entirely re-implement transport mechanics in lua, which imo is too hacky.

what is above post? I was just trying to be helpful I definately remember it like that. Maybe transports are different now, you know things like to break and then we have to cry hotblooded tears to patch it up.

I can see you are going back to being rude. I get that. You don't like when I occasionally post something incorrect from memory but here I thought maybe you went back to sensible nice knorke. Grow up

Forb I might have to write that gadget for you

Your posts seemed like you were trolling/fooling around and just making things up by saying stuff you knew you was incorrect. I still can't tell whether you're being serious now or if you're being sarcastic.
PS: FA's banned again so this thread seems to be going nowhere fast.. Leaving it unlocked if someone wants to post a widget or something..

I think you are mocking me for past mistakes as that has been your behavior up until you started posting under this false identity. I'll let it slide if you really are trying to turn over a new leaf.
