Stopping Units From Dieing When Underwater

Darth_Z13 · Post by **Darth_Z13** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 10:07 pm

To develop my latest map I needed a solution to this problem. I have found one. It does not get rid of the drowning effect, it merely negates it. By placing this line:

Code: Select all

AddHealth           = 30.0

into a units ODF it will recharge the unit enough to have the life at full by the time the next decrease in health rolls around. Trust me. It works.

I know that the AddHealth thing isn't a new concept but this will work until someone figures it out.

Any unit using this gains health at this rate whenever it is damaged.

You could place a region covering the water. Whenever someone enters the region (and thus the water) you could give them this health regen. Then when the unit leaves the water (and region) you could take it away. However, doing this would remove the effects of the Bothan's health regen if the unit had it when entering the water/region.

Edit: beat you PvtParts

Only downside is it works outside of water - the unit will always gain that much health at the default rate...

Ooooor... you could use Majin's solution:

rep_inf_clone_commando wrote:WaterDamageInterval = "0.0"
WaterDamageAmount = "0.0"

Oooo! YAY! I'll try that!

It doesn't work Rikino.

Majin's hypothesis never worked. If someone gets the regions thing to work, please post.

Its part map regions and Lua code. It can't really be fully posted. Did you want the event handler code ( OnEnterRegion()... )?

i found a way that this may work with out all that confuseing stuff just open up the droideka and search for "water"

and you should find a line that says some thing like thiss

uprigthwaterdamagehight = "1.5"

this may be a possible work around

Munging right now... hopefully it works!

EDIT: Awww the only thing it did was make my guy sound like a droideka when walking around.

O.o

okay... as long as he didn't fold down and rolled away...

Isn't the damaged made under-water specified somewhere?

There is something that specifies the amount of damage taken under water somewhere, but changing the value did nothing last time I checked...

really?

What about making a huuuuuuge cube-thing and removing the collision? Maybe adding some density inside it - probably 'just' some flags and such here and there

At least for underwater maps?

What cube would I use Qdin and how would I make it waterproof?

Why not just make a damage region underwater that slowly heals? That's about the closest workaround I can think of.

Which would effect units exactly as the way I pointed out, but is way easier to setup.

The issue is, it would neither work nor be appropriate.

If it healed slowly, the rate at which you lose health would quickly overpower it and you'd drown just the same. Also, you could merely step into the water, thus entering the region, and gain health while not losing any from 'drowning'.

To be honest I have a feeling its just coded into the game, and theirs no getting around it as far as I know.

You don't put the region at the water level. Put it along the bottom where units walk. A unit doesn't have to be fully inside, just some part has to be inside the region.

HealthType = "droid"

does this not work underwater?
