Coding Questions Again...

I'm using Ares, just to clarify if this can be tweaked with Ares? So currently I'm trying to make the Forceshield also add a forcefield effect on infantry but they die when given the ability to target infantry.

Right now my Forceshield looks like this? No tweaks aside from the additional tags provided by Are.

Code:

[ForceShieldSpecial]
UIName=NOSTR:Psi Barrier ;Name:ForceShield
Name=Force Shield
IsPowered=true
RechargeVoice=00-I156
ChargingVoice=
ImpatientVoice=
SuspendVoice=
RechargeTime=5
Type=ForceShield
Action=ForceShield
SidebarImage=FORCICON
ShowTimer=no
DisableableFromShell=no ;yes
SpecialSound=ForceShieldFading;gs wildcard sound hook. In this case, play at ForceShieldDuration - ForceShieldPlayFadeSoundTime after firing
StartSound=ForceShieldStarting;gs no anim to hook this on to, so hook it here.
FlashSidebarTabFrames=120; default is always, put 0 for never, or a number for x
SW.AffectsHouse=owner,allies,team
SW.AffectsTarget=land,water,empty,infantry,units,buildings
SW.RequiresTarget=land,water,empty,infantry,units,buildings
SW.FireIntoShroud=no
SW.RequiresHouse=none,owner,allies,team,enemies,all
SW.AITargeting=none
Range=3.4
LineMultiplier=3

Out of luck no doubt, Force Shield is basicly same as Iron Curtain and have the default behaviour of always killing infantry unless ARES dev write an exception to the logic.

It also kills vehicles with Organic=yes, so keep that in mind when playing against the ants. Wink

BTW, IC on warheads also insta-kills infantry and Organic=yes stuff, so as for now, there is no way to make IC/FS work on those.

So basically WW just cloned the Iron Curtain Logic then just added some additional functions to it like:

-New Report In/Out of SW Activation
-Additional Power Outage Logic
-Additional "Iron Curtain" Color

Hmm... i don't suppose the Hit Animation isn't shared? Since I'm hoping I could turn the Forceshield into one that damages non-FS'd enemies near it.

Atomic_Noodles, yes, I think that Force Shield is based on Iron Curtain.

Iron Curtain is exactly the same as Force Shield. For FS, one additional value is set, which decides which color to use (only used on buildings).

Power outage and sound effects are done by the SW, as well as the distinction of whether only buildings will be affected.
