Spring RTS Engine

Make a flea cannon that shoots flea cannons that shoot flea cannons that shoot flea cannons that shoot peewees.

And you make something useful. >D

Yes it actually fired boxes which turned into peewees on landing.

CA also had flea bomber about 2 years ago. There is some gadget around.

That is now used by the Blimpy (fat flying chicken that drops dodos which start running around when they hit the ground).

What else i must copy except
unit_explosion_spawner.lua into gadgets and
explosion_spawn_defs.lua into config?

com cannon thing made me laugh btw but still don't quite get where you are going with this.

i like texture on the second building, brownish one, is it OTA ?

Yeah

Well i can do it. Launching some missle which create turret on impact...but what the purpose?

If it shot units that were actually units (ie they could fire whilst in flight) that would be +100000 badass

Tell it to developers of spring. There is no such callout to remove projectile from air and replace it with unit giving it its vector, angle and speed.

Where would be your merit if the dev had already coded a command that does everything?

But you can still shoot live units. Use AddImpulse. The two aiming angles could be gotten just from the turret script.

Having the unit created on impact is a vast improvment over having a shot using an unit model, but it's not yet as good as having the unit alive in the air.

But will unit surrive such impact after launch? I don't think so...

Couldn't you just use UnitPreDamage to zero out any ground-impact damage?

No.

Yes!

for a unit launcher just use a unit model for the projectile, and spawn the real unit on impact. that way you can keep impact damage.
