Simply adding a droideka's shield to an unit doesn't help. You'd need to fake an underwater level in order to gain a believable effect.BF2 Limitations topic wrote:•Water will always damage a standard unit you. Non-standard units are Droideka's and Vehicles. These have modifiable Damage rates via WaterDamageInterval and WaterDamageAmount.
These limitation for standard units can be counteracted by placing a Damage Region that does negative damage(Essentially a Healing Region) in the water higher than a unit's head. Side effects include a red flashing screen and a blue healing ring around the unit.
Oh yes? Well, to make a second argument; the AI usually don't know they need to activate it before going into the water. If you are still planning to do a "real" underwater map, it's important to keep in mind that you have to work with submersive bases and the only way to stop the AI from dying is through the use of vehicles.Fierfek wrote:Actually, adding a droideka's shield blocks the unit from sustaining damage from water, as long as it is activated before you enter the water.
Really? Anyway, a single shot on a unit with AddShield=1 will destroy the shield (assuming you meant MaxShield was at 1), thus causing the unit to take damage and drown. Using the AddShield property, there is nothing to activate, so the AI would be fine (until they were hit).Fierfek wrote:...adding a droideka's shield blocks the unit from sustaining damage from water, as long as it is activated before you enter the water.
Excuse me? Could you remind me where and when they were there? I can't recall that.General_Nate wrote:I don't know about the Droideka shield, but personal shields will. Like the shields on BA 2.0.
Thank you!! That's exactly what I want!! The scuba unit can go in the water without sustaining damage, but once they are hit by an enemy, they will drown.[RDH]Zerted wrote:Really?

You can remove the gain health effect.
My unit that can go underwater has a melee attack, no guns (you can use those underwater).myers73 wrote:is it even possible to fire a weapon underwater?
