SWR Productions Forum _ ShockWave _ Submarines and war ships do not move

Posted by: globalwar 14 Jul 2017, 2:11

This map is made using shockwave, as a base. On this test map, make a base and then take the port at the foot of the sea. Immediately you will have 3 warships and 1 submarine. The question is: why these objects in the water can not move?

Maybe because they were never coded to move, but only stay on the map as map assets? Ask someone else, but that's my hunch.

give them a waypoint path in world builder, set a script to tell them to follow it, define the objects inc the loco in a map.ini

The planned navy in Shockwave was never finished. These units exist only as Shellmap units. If you want them to move, you will need to set their locomotives in map.ini

I am very grateful for your answers.
I'm new to worldbuilder and I'm trying to learn this.

But I thought that navys units being part of a team, clicking and giving the target point (as with tanks for example) could be moved at the user's will.
I do not want the movement to be like the train (ie following a specified route) but at the user's will.

Can anyone give me some examples of locomotives in map.ini?

one of the battleships can be moved by clicking yeah.

CODE

Object AmericaBattleShip
  DisplayName      = (whatever you want)

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End

thats what mine uses on an aod map.

Thank you very much,
You're a genius, this works well for me (I made some corrections)
But there is only one problem: the warships raise the cliffs and move on the ground (as if they were tanks of war).
On the map there is a water area called "WaterAreaName = mar2", how do I make the warships move only inside "mar2"?

CODE

Object AmericaVehicleBattleShip
  DisplayName      = navy1

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End


Object AmericaVehicleBattleShip
  DisplayName      = navy2

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End



Object AmericaVehicleBattleShip
  DisplayName      = navy3

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End


Object ChinaShipAttackSubMarine
  DisplayName      = sub1

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End

Attached the new corrected map and with boats and submarines with movement by clicking.

well thats just what i pulled from my map.ini, had to cut a LOT out of the code or u would end up with a virtualy unkillable total map wiper battleship.
but on the land thing thats one of the problems, the game engine is kinda crap at deciding when land becomes water.

I have updated a new version of the map.
On this map when used

Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
He has difficulty moving on land, moves good in water.

But in the case of SUBMARINES has the problem that the projectiles do not leave the submarine.

Just so I can shoot the SUBMARINE I have to change the code, but when I change it the submarine behaves like an amphibious vehicle and moves on land and in water.
Locomotor = SET_NORMAL BasicAmphibiousLocomotor

ChinaShipAttackSubMarineShellMap (Missiles do not reach the target) vs ChinaShipAttackSubMarine (Missiles reach the target)

CODE

Object AmericaVehicleBattleShipUSSBender
  DisplayName      = BattleShipUSSBender

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End


Object ChinaShipAttackSubMarineShellMap
  DisplayName      = SubMarineShellMap

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL TroopCrawlerWaterLocomotor
End


Object ChinaShipAttackSubMarine
  DisplayName      = SubMarine

  CrusherLevel         = 3 ;What can I crush?: 1 = infantry, 2 = trees, 3 = vehicles
  CrushableLevel       = 3 ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

  KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE SCORE
  Locomotor = SET_NORMAL BasicAmphibiousLocomotor  
End

On another website someone says that I should add this code, but when I add the code (in the map.ini) the program aborts.

PreferredHeight = 0.1
AllowAirborneMotiveForce = Yes
ZAxisBehavior = SURFACE_RELATIVE_HEIGHT
Appearance = HOVER
