1.Is it possible to add a new damage type?

2. How do i implement a probability hit system?

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 7 Dec 2016, 6:06

1- No

2-Ehh someone else can explain it better but weapons have miss chances or scatter rates

Posted by: Jet02 7 Dec 2016, 6:34

Why not? Has anyone tried?

Also
3. Where can i find any decent w3d sukhoi models?

Posted by: SoraZ 7 Dec 2016, 6:46

Damage types are hard-coded, so no.


With randomise-object functions like Technicals. ShW' and ROTR' Flak Cannon bunkers use this IIRC.


Probably in http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7482, somewhere.

1. I see.
2. Where does that go? Does it require lots of coding? Does it work on aa weponry?
3. Can't find any, thanks anyway. I got one on turbosquid, it's in .3ds format though.

You use a projectile with a build variation (see Technical) where for instance 4 out of five times a regular projectile is spawned and 1 time a special one which is modified (e.g. Locomotor) in a way that it always misses.

It requires lots of coding.

The Shockwave Flak Bunker works exactly like this (iirc)

4.it is possible for fixed wing aircraft not to stick to a certain height above the ground?

5.do special maneuvers require an animation?

6) how do i make stealth units "blink" instead of becoming transparent all the moment it exits whatever produced it?

That is one majestic thread for me. Who or what is sleipnir?

Posted by: SoraZ 23 Dec 2016, 15:34

A very old gaming forum, and one of those forums where extensive ZH modding was really "born". It's called Sleipnirstuff because the Admin's name is Sleipnir and it's his stuff ^^

7. Does weapon speed affect the speed of the projectile or just the damage?

8. If i want to make something target only specific units(like a harm missile), does the code that determines what it can hit go in the scripts or the unit's directory?

Sorry for any inconvenience caused

7. Speed of projectiles, except missiles which take their speed from their locomotors.

8. What a unit can attack is determined by the damage type of their weapon, and the damage types its target's armor can take damage from.

Example: Units with weapons with the LASER damage type can attack missiles, because missile armor has the field "LASER = 100%", while they cannot attack tanks because tanks have "LASER = 0%"

How about 4,5 and 6?

So units automatically ignore stuff that they can't harm? Seems simple.

Posted by: Zeke 24 Dec 2016, 3:27

4. No, afaik

5. What do you mean by "special maneuvers"?

6. What do you mean by "blink", temporarily become un-stealth from time to time, or just visually blinking while stealth?

Posted by: Jet02 24 Dec 2016, 3:44

5. Stuff like the aileron roll the berkut does. Or the cobra. Or the kulbit.

6. The latter. Like most other stealth units in-game. Or can i make them totally visible even when cloaked?

Posted by: Zeke 24 Dec 2016, 5:29

5. Yes they require animations.

6. Add these fields in the object's stealth update, then edit them:

So....i assume the Minimum value goes up?

Posted by: Zeke 24 Dec 2016, 5:44

min = how transparent it can be
max = how opaque it can be

100% = not transparent
0% = completely invisible

Ok thanks

Sleipnir is the old username of pchote, the main OpenRA coder.
