Spring RTS Engine

Should occur when the BOS says it does, not be controlled engine-side. It used to work, but it appears to have been changed. I've tried putting commands to open the yard everywhere in my BOS, and it's being overridden by Spring, which is incredibly annoying.

Did that really ever work?

I thought it did... meh, I was pretty sure it did. Or the timer didn't just shut the Yard the frame that the Unit left. It's definitely different now.

For now, I've just declared the Yard spots as "y"

its never worked in spring except automatically like in factory scripts..

It be nice if it worked like it should then we could have things like gates...

6242 / kloot 0 minutes fixed up the YARD_OPEN COB directive

is that what you wanted?

Yes. Thanks very, very much, Kloot, that was a really annoying issue.

gates still will not work. spring will still count the center of the gate as blocking. Meaning a few things first something inside of the gate's sphere will be unable to shoot and also the shots traveling through the center of the object will collide with the hitsphere of the unit.

Oh great, I hope it doesn't break units that don't use the command (like, say, almost any made for Spring).

Could you have no hitsphere and lots of quick terraforming hidden by the model? I thought we could do terraforming but I'm not sure how hit is implemented?

What? How could a unit "break" if its script does NOT call set
OPEN_YARD anywhere (which, as you point out, would include
almost every script written for Spring)? Only newly made COBs
that DO use it will possibly fail, the engine-controlled opening
and closing is still present for factories (which can be worked
around now by calling OPEN_YARD in Activate() / Deactivate(),
existing factory scripts that already do so are unaffected). So
where's the big emergency?

I thought you turned into a completely manual process.
