Spring RTS Engine

Would be good to have a minimum attack range.
Example:
Attacking unit would attack:
Attacking unit:----(Miin)-unit---(Max)
Would not attack:
Attacking unit:---unit (Min)------(Max)

There's a hacky way to do this with a slaved weapon and a few lines of script, but an engine feature (or a luarule) to do this would be nice too.

We don't need an example for something like this, we aren't retarded

I don´t know. Maybe.?

Shouldn't be too difficult to add a minRange tag.

But as mentioned by Pete it's entirely possible with a slaved weapon. The slaved weapon will have the minimum range and actually will never fire.

As long as the AimWeapon function for the null weapon is being called you disable/lock up the real weapon's AimWeapon function and also start a timer-function in the background which will reenable the main weapon after some time - perhaps a bit longer than the interval at which spring aims. Should work like that... somehow.

Rattle, that'd lock the unit up when something gets too close, it won't make it pick another target.

Hmm right. Also the unit would always try to get into the minimum range making it rather useless...
