Buildings used as Landmines?

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

Can buildings be used for landmines? I know Infantry can be used for parabombs that explode upon contact with ground, but can buildings be coded to explode when someone drives up to it? I know I did this before, but seem to be having brainlock or something

Yes very possible. I've seen it done and have done it myself.

Cloak it and make it passable, with a weapon that will destroy itself, Range=1 or less, DamageSelf, low Strength, AreaFire and whatnots.

the original Blitzkrieg for yuri had landmines. but looking at the rules it appears it is a vehicle that deploys into a landmine

Another way is a slave miner like vehicle that has Freeunit=YOURMINEGOESHERE, the slave logic undeploys the vehicle and you already have your land mine.

My landmine is just a placeable building, not using any deploy logic. I gave it an Ajacent=15, that way it can be placed futher out from the base, cause they have a little punch to them. They are also invisible to everyone but those who place it.

I assume you gave the mine Invisible=yes?

How about cloaking like I mentioned...

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

@ArvinCool, that is correct Invisible=yes and also used RadarInvisible=yes too. They only have a cell range of 1.5 and can only be detonated by the enemy.

@001010011100101110, No I didnt use any cloak logic. Invisible=yes is all thats needed.

Don't see it in the manual, but I could be wrong.

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

I dont think that type of fix would be in the manual. But I could be wrong too. I know some RE issues were resolved, but cant really remember which ones they were.

AFAIK Arvin is correct, it do causes recons and that haven't been tackled out by Ares.

I think the same applies to InvisibleInGame.

BTW anyone else having issues with ModEnc?

Yes, it started around 2-3 hours ago as a global one, the whole RenProj is down now. I have a feeling Ren will cure it tomorrow.

Invisible=yes to my knowledge causes recons in ares still, however, buildings placed on maps before game start do not cause recons,

I think your best making a land mine shp, give it cloaking since ares has that now.
Also with ares logic now u could have Deploying sensor tanks to find mines using sonar sw and auto self targeting.

I have another round about method of getting land mine layer in ra2 ares, if anyone is interested.

It involves making a SW which is a unit delivery, fires at itself, and costs money to lay mines when deployed. Then u can give it another SW which can be called denote mines, which destroys all mines within a 11 cell radius for a cost.

I took a look at the Blitzkrieg rules and they have the minelayer as a vxl & as a shp. The coding for the vxl show a deploys into the mine, i have never used or tested the code to see if the vxl disappears or does it drop and and you can move it.

Pretty sure you don't need Ares or even YR for cloaking to work.

You do need either Ares or NPatch for Cloakable=yes to work on BuildingTypes.

So you do. My apologies.

You can use an 1x1 cloak generator in YR 1.001 as a workaround. Not the best, but working.

yeah, I just went ahead and made it cloakable. No sense in fiddling around with the invisible crap. Maybe someday Ares will fix the RE thing involved with it.
