With an annoying upgrade limit but a possible work around, why is the level based upgrade not used in ROTR?
Is it impossible to implement? (Old posts says ZH Toxin Tractor It can be?) What's the pro's and con's of this system in ROTR? |

What level based system? Anthrax Beta/Gamma were separate upgrades with their own death type, both of which are hardcoded IIRC

Behavior = WeaponSetUpgrade ModuleTag_08
; the Toxin Tractor gets this upgrade if we either buy the upgrade, ; or if it gets HEROIC status TriggeredBy = Upgrade_GLAAnthraxBeta Upgrade_Veterancy_HEROIC End Only the Toxin Tractor had that kind of behavior, though, so it may be due to design reasons than anything else This post has been edited by Hanfield: 23 Dec 2016, 12:38 -------------------- "don't live, hanfield"

I find it kind of a waste if this behavior/system was set-aside.... It seems it could be more than a ROF, Heal/Repair, Red Bullets Bonus |

Well the vanilla games had their oddities, like how the neutron shell, battle bus behavior was coded specifically for it and how, in Generals, Jarmen and Pathfinders had two separate damage types - SNIPER and FLESHY_SNIPER, the latter being removed from ZH; but that specific behavior wouldn't function well at the current stage and from a design perspective IMO

Because it's silly that Toxin Tractors - and ONLY Toxin Tractors - did this. It's an inconsistency that made the unit special where it doesn't deserve to be special.
