Unit hit detection

[Forboding Angel]

Is there any way for a script to know when a unit has been hit by a weapon?

I think it would be kinda neat to script in a rocking effect for when unit are hit by large damageweapons.

- HitByWeaponId(z,x,id,damage) will be called instead of HitByWeapon if it exist

In the changelog, it works, you just have to define ids for your weapons.

Note that multiple weapons can have the same ID;

e.g. All S44 Armour-Piercing rounds have id=100

BTW, you can just use RockUnit like the OTA units do, the engine will call that by itself.

Are the pseudo angles in RockUnit right for weapon hits? RockUnit gets called whenever a weapon is fired too btw.

yar rockunit would work just fine. Thanks guys!

I wonder if it would be possible to somehow use rockunit while the unit is firing to make it rock in the appropriate direction from kickback...

im pretty sure some of the CA units do this already

[clumsy_culhane]

t1 artillery in CA uses it.

That was possible in good old TA Zsinj

Indeed, I know it was in OTA, but I hadn't seen any mods use it in Spring.

I stopped using it because the "angles" are useless for tanks, unless you are fine with them wiggling in the wrong direction, and I was too lazy to write my own script which takes body and turret rotation into account. Though I think S44 got it right.
