Tesla Time!

Dalamar_TheDark · Rocket Cyborg **Joined**: 03 Dec 2004 **Location**: Ohio

Now that the mod has a new direction, I've been working on the individual sides, starting with the Russians. I'm still learning YR coding, so tell me please if you see an impossibility. Oh yeah, and just so's you know, Russia's all about the Tesla.

Tesla Trooper: Yes, this is different from a shock trooper. Instead of the normal Tesla attack, it'll use the Chrono logic, i.e., you'll target something, a tesla bolt will shoot out and immobilize the unit, and it'll slowly disappear. (Or something similar) Values will be adjusted so you don't have to wait forever while your ten Troopers take half an hour to kill a tank.

Tesla Tank: I made a new voxel for this. Other than that, pretty straight forward.

Tesla Charger: Obviously, this unit's weapon charges. It can pick up units and throw them using the magnetic field generated by the electricity, or it may instead push them over. Kinda like a Magnetron.

Chainer: Uses Prism and Tesla logic, so it'll shoot a tesla bolt and spread from it's target. (Hopefully)

Striker Helicopter
Tesla Reactor
Tesla Coil
Tri-Flak Cannon
Russian Battleship
Russian Gunboat (w/ Flak cannon)

They might. Right now I'm focusing on the LSD sides and drumming up help, but that's a good idea.

Why don't you make the Flak gun with 4 barrels?

For what? Units need a role, a purpose. If you simply want a unit to just have another unit, then you are not ballancing the game.

Three is perfect. Three is a triangle, which is also the easiest and cheapest shape to make. (i.e. the tripod legs)

Yes,but four is much more damaging Exclamation

Well, shooting four clouds of flak at a time would just destroy aircraft, without much time, and that would be a bit too powerfull. Three is a bit weaker, but more balanced.

What about two flak barrels and one Tesla?That would be slow,but destructive Twisted Evil

Yeeaahh...No.

Why?!This is TESLA TIME,right?

That was a witty title to get your attention and to point out that the primary weapon of Russian LSD troops is Tesla coils, as developed by Nikolai Tesla. Please, don't be a n00b.

OK,can you give more info on that Chainer thingee?It sounds devastating...

Dalamar_TheDark · Rocket Cyborg **Joined**: 03 Dec 2004 **Location**: Ohio

The Tesla current from the Chainer shoots out and hits one metal target, then spreads to hit another metal target, then another. Multiple Chainers gives you more targets hit for more damage.

it wouldn't damage it
that's why planes are generally ok when hit by lightening (except some scary ass super-rare kind)

planes do get damaged, they flew a plane trough a big storm for testing, it had black spots all over. and since also, if even a car gets hit by lightning, nothing happens either (some kind of cage theory of which i dont remember the name) so that means Tcoils are very powerful, and so be able to damage planes (like a game should be realistic anyway...)

Cars have rubber tires to ground them. Tanks do not. I don't think I'll have it hit planes, cause that's what flak is for, foo'.

tanks have rubber on their tracks, ever seen a real tank?

Rubber touching the ground? I didn't know that. I thought tank treads were metal plates. Confused

Durrandi · Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 10:05 pm Post subject:

depends on the model I believe, I have seen some with rubber on their tracks and some with just metal.

Okay, then I can reflect that in what it damages. There's three tank armors, so maybe lighter treaded vehicles and tired/halftracks can have their own armor that doesn't take tesla damage?

Durrandi · Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 10:41 pm Post subject:

yeah, that would be a great way to balance it out, bigger and better tanks would take more damage
