Turret-Specific Properties
The following keyvalues are specified for turrets:
- "turret range level X" (Range at which the turret will engage, measured in Hammer Units)
- "turret rof level X" (Amount of seconds between each salvo. Defined as a float)
- "turret turn speed level X" (How fast the turret can turn)
- "turret turn missile level X" (ML only: How well the missiles of a turret can turn corners)
- "turret starting hp level X" (Starting HP of the turret)
- "turret max hp level X" (Max HP of the turret)
where X is the level (1-3).
Building Resistances
Buildings are able to have several resistances. A resistance is calculated using the following formula:
Damage = Damage - (Damage * Resistance)
This means that the higher a resistance attribute, the more damage that will be absorbed. A resistance attribute can lie between 0 and 1 and is defined as a floating-point variable.
The type of damage a weapon does can be set in the Damage Type attribute of a weapon.
List of resistances:
- GeneralPhysicsResist - General Physics Tree Damage
- GeneralChemistryResist - General Chemistry Tree Damage
- GeneralMechanicalResist - General Mechanic Tree Damage
- GeneralElectricResist - General Electric Tree Damage
- GeneralBiologicalResist - General Biological Tree Damage
- KineticResist - Railguns, Standard Cannons, Anything that is just force
- ExplosiveResist - HE, Nukes, anything that explodes
- BioResist - Has the bio effect
- BulletResist - Non Armor damaging
- APBulletResist - Armor Damaging
- BulletExplosiveResist - Bullets that Explode
- MissileResist - Generic Missile type of damage
- MissileExplosiveResist - Explosive type.
- MissileBioResist - Bio Missiles. Different than Bio?
- KineticArtResist - Kinetic Artillery
- ExplosiveArtResist - Explosive Artillery
- BioArtResist - Bio Artillery
- AircraftMissileResist - Aircraft Missiles
- AircraftGroundMissleResist - Aircraft Missiles to hit ground targets
- AircraftBulletResist - Aircraft to Aircraft bullets
- AircraftAPBulletResist - Aircraft Bullets to hit ground targets
- AircraftBombResist - Bombs
- AircraftBombBioResist - Bio Bombs?
- InfantryGrenadeResist - Player Thrown Grenades
- InfantryMineResist - Player Tossed Mines
- InfantryMissileResist - Gren Missiles
- InfantryMortarResist - Gren Mortars
- InfantryStickyResist - Sticky Grenades
- InfantrySeismicResist - Seismic Grenades
- InfantryBulletResist - Infantry Bullets
- InfantryUtilityResist - Concussion nades, various infantry stuff that does special things but no damage
- ExtraType1Resist - Anti Building weapons
- ExtraType2Resist
- ExtraType3Resist
Boundary Vectors
The boundary vectors are the boundary vectors used to calculate the "footprint" that a building makes. There are two vectors: Min and Max. They use the following attributes.
- MinColBoundX
- MinColBoundY
- MinColBoundZ
- MaxColBoundX
- MaxColBoundY
- MaxColBoundZ
Particle Attachments
Using these attributes, you can have up to 10 different particles on a single model show when the building is destroyed. The attributes go from 0-9. You must always state both attributes.
WRONG:
ExplosionAttachment0" "explosion1" // Attachment 0 in the model.
ExplosionParticle0" "Explosion_std" // Particle 0 on attachment 0.
ExplosionParticle1" "Explosion_std" // Particle 1 on attachment 0.
CORRECT:
ExplosionAttachment0" "explosion1" // Attachment 0 in the model.
ExplosionParticle0" "Explosion_std" // Particle 0 on attachment 0.
ExplosionAttachment1" "explosion1" // Attachment 1 in the model. This attachment can be the same as the previous attachment.
ExplosionParticle1" "Explosion_std" // Particle 1 on attachment 1.
- ExplosionAttachmentX - This attribute contains the model attachment, which is where the particle will be created.
- ExplosionParticleX - This attribute contains the name of the particle that will be created.
