Can you use a unitname as an armour type?

e.g.

Code: Select all

[ARMTHUND]
  {
  ARMTHUND=99;
  }

So you can refer to a unit individually in a weapon?

[FLOZi]

Well, I got off my lazy bottom and checked, yes, it works, thought it should do.

It kind of defeats the whole idea with the file though :)

[FLOZi]

Yes, but, some of us crazy modder folk actually want individual unit-specific damages, as well as the great functionality of groups.

I tried to add a special damage in their once, it was total system freezes whenever I attempted to load. What were the possible reasons? Is there a limit to how many characters in the name of a armorclass? Or does it require the whitespace to be set up in the exact way it already is?

[FLOZi]

I shouldn't imagine you would reach a length limit should there be one, and the whitespace is of little importance.

EDIT: and just to make sure, the engine doesn't actually use OTA style 'unitname=100;' special damages does it? My testing seemed to indicate it didn't, but maybe I've just wasted my efforts.

It says they don't matter, its just the parser likes them. I was just wondering if it did something other then parse and ignore with them.

[FLOZi]

That's not what I meant.
