Spring RTS Engine

I go to unit defs and it has same max water depth as amphibious tanks, but I'm confused why the spy kbot can't actually walk into the water ingame. Gadget? Some other function? Just wondering.

There was an experiement to make them amphib a long time back. It was found they were freaking impossible to track under water. Completely OP.

The max depth in the unit def is just for *building* the unit, not for mobility. Mobility is determined by the movement class.

use your riot tanks to put them in the water

I lol'd at the accuracy of this statement

Sure about this? I think it is in fact completely superfluous for any unit with a move def assigned.

Acknowledged, Pxtl.

I was bored and without internet so I was scanning the contents of BA mods, and found the max water depth of spy kbots... was getting ideas about underwater emp explosions xD

One of my favorite units, these. Best antinuke disabler there is.

Well it's more about the strangeness of movedefs and unitdef movedefs than BA.

What strangeness? it works as described.

Hell yeah great post by moderator, please move to BA forum. Mindepth only works on building locations i believe while moveinfo determines everything else.

Accidentally whole thread. Please keep it clean.
