Spring RTS Engine

It would be really useful if we could make mines "unable" to target certain units, even if they within the perimeter.

So if I had some sort of stealthy unit, make it so mines are unable to attack this unit, unless the unit comes into direct contact with it. I imagine it'd be possible with lua, but it would be a lot easier to do it straight from the FBI.

S44 mines already do this


I can't quite remember how, but basically its something like they have a normal weapon with onlytargetcategory which when fired also blows themselves up.


It's possible that the script detonates a second weapon which kills the mine, even.

So that anti tank mines don't get triggered by infantry?

Correct

Hmm I'll look into that. Could you give me the unit name of the mine(s) so I can look into that?

Yeh, I did something very similar with the WarEvo smart mines.

KP bugbombs used that method though they weren't restricted in the targets they could strike.

Units with kamikaze=1 are currently stupid and borked, imo. They should follow all weaponstate commands, among other things, and should generally work more like a unit with a weapon that's an explosion.
