Stealth Generator (YR)

CptGallium · Civilian **Joined**: 18 Jun 2015

Hello everyone,

I've been working on a mod for Yuri which gives him a building that makes all units and buildings stealth/cloak. So far I have run into a few glitches that I'm not sure how to fix. The 2 known glitches that I am trying to fix are:

I did not create all of this code but I have been trying to debug/improve upon it for my mod.

The artmd.ini code is:

Code:

[GAGEN] ; Yuri Stealth Generator
Remapable=yes
Cameo=SGENICON
Foundation=2x2
Buildup=GAGENMK
DemandLoadBuildup=true
FreeBuildup=true
NewTheater=yes
Height=4
CanHideThings=True
CanBeHidden=False
OccupyHeight=3
DamageFireOffset0=-5,11

The rulesmd.ini code is:

Code:

;Yuri Stealth Generator
[GAGEN]
UIName=Name:GAGEN
Name=Yuri Stealth Generator
BuildCat=Combat
Prerequisite=YAWEAP,YACNST
CloakGenerator=yes
CloakRadiusInCells=6
Powered=yes
Strength=600
Armor=steel
TechLevel=5
Adjacent=4
Sight=10
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry
AIBasePlanningSide=0
Cost=1500
Points=80
Power=-250
Capturable=false
Crewed=yes
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
DebrisAnims=DBRIS2SM,DBRIS3LG,DBRIS3SM,DBRIS7SM,DBRIS8LG,DBRS10LG,DBRS10SM
MaxDebris=15
MinDebris=5
ThreatPosed=0
;DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys,BigGreySmokeSys
AIBuildThis=yes
AmbientSound=PsychicAmplifierLoop
DieSound=PsychicAmplifierDie
BaseNormal=no
HasRadialIndicator=true

For all units (except air units) I have added this code:

Code:

Sensors=yes
SensorsSight=6

I know the Mental Omega mod contains a structure similar to what I am trying to do ... Epsilon Chimera Core ... which seems to have fixed these 2 issues. If someone could help, that would be super awesome because I can't figure it out.

There is nothing you can do about it on normal YR and besides, the CloakGenerator LAGS so most don't use it anyways.

As for MO, they use entirely different way thanks to ARES.

Actually, you can fix the lag issue by removing DoubleThick=yes from building art entries. I got it working lag free this way.

As a preface, i do not have Ares but ...

Are you suggesting that even if I were to get Ares, the Cloak Generator code would not work as intended? That I would need to create something to get it to work?

If that is the case, what about if units had something to the effect of them being powered by the Stealth building and only allowing their cloaking ability to be powered if within the building's radius.

Although I do not know how to apply an effect just from a building's radius. AttachEffect maybe?

Yes, MO uses an autofiring areafire AttachEffect weapon for Chimera Core - and also to give Nuwa a speed boost around Nuke Reactors.

That is what I thought ... thank you for helping point me in the right direct, now I'll go and try messing with it and see what problems I run into. Smile
