This is kind of an odd question, but does a unit/vehicle have to be completely "Hover" to be able to float on water? I've been thinking about toying around with this to make units be able to have a sloppy swimming ability... I think there's a line in the odf that determines if it can float on water, but I don't know if this concerns regular units as well as vehicles. I just need to know if I should even attempt it, or if someone knows that it isn't possible. I can probably figure it out, once I know if I should even try or not.

there is a line that makes it float on water becuase the jet trooper has the hover quality, so no just puting the hover quality will not make it hover.

Not sure, probably not ....my advice is if you want people to swim, give them boats/submarines.

Okay, this is straight from the odf_guide, out of the documentation folder..
It's for vehicles though.. This could mean a submarine type of vehicle though..

Code: Select all

Okay, this is straight from the odf_guide, out of the documentation folder..

Code:
FloatsOnWater – Whether or not it can float on water as a hover vehicle type.

Ah, thank you, I'll try that out and see if it works with units as well, probably doesn't, but whatever.

When I place that in the .odf, would I script it as FloatsOnWater = 1 for having it float?
