Don't forget to add these to the warheads list.

[Warheads]

What is this warhead supposed to do? You didn't explain how this works...

Can these tags really work with these values? Have you tested this?

From the rules:

Code:

; NOTE: (Double Note, a float math bug caused 2% to be used when 1% broke down. Fixing the bug is why I made 2%)
; A 0% means no force fire, no retaliate, no passive aquire
; A 1% means no retaliate, no passive aquire
; A 2% means no passive aquire

It will only shoot at targets you tell it to no matter what tags you have on the unit.

Except 1%'s logic doesn't actually work properly. Targets like a normal unit. Evident with the SNIPAH.

ROF=0 is perfectly valid. It means shot infinitely fast. Though I'm not sure why the OP didn't just use DirectRocker but I digress.

And PercentAtMax=0 is valid as well. Though it defeats the purpose of CellSpread when it's >0.

Incorrect. 1% works exactly like its stated. (I've tested and confirmed this multiple times before)

2% doesn't quite work as stated. The unit will passive acquire with a 2% Verses.

I thought versus affected the weapon damage versus different armors...

Anyway, does this really flip vehicles then?

Versus 100-3% do, anything lower is used for special case logic #Tongue

So, what happens to damage if it's under 3%? Is there some special rules for calculating damage then?

As above.

I know, I got that. What happens to damage if those values are used?

No. I've had 1% units retaliate on units even though they're not supposed to. Neither 1%, nor 2% work exactly as intended.

What do you think happens?

What the ztype do you think happens? It uses 1% of the Damage statement on the weapon. How hard is that?

Well original intention was this by developers

; A 0% means no force fire, no retaliate, no passive aquire
; A 1% means no retaliate, no passive aquire
; A 2% means no passive aquire

I think this system was intended to "work" when the following tags didn't exist:

CanPassiveAquire=[yes/no]
CanRetaliate=[yes/no]

However when they coded those tags in, warhead % just work as normal modifiers to damage.

Also personally this tutorial is pointless? Your just making a weapon which rocks a unit constantly unless ingame it somehow "flips" the unit.

The Brute logic of Pushy=yes on the unit and DirectRocker=yes would achieve the effect more directly and rocking doesn't affect shp units making this useless against the Dolphin which uses light armour I believe.
