  • Flying infantry bug

    #1
    Recently I tried to make a infantry squad that can fly by default, but ran into a problem

    (ignore the placeholder grafics)

    Some of the drone in the squad dont appear at the right altitude - they appear at random levels and only after moving the squad around for a while they start to jump to the correct positions.

    I suspect its a locomotor problem, but I have no idea what exactly the cause is. Any suggestions?


    Code:
    	<LocomotorTemplate
		id="ShrikeLocomotor"
		Surfaces="AIR"
		TurnTimeSeconds="0.5s"
		TurnTimeDamagedSeconds="0.5s"
		FastTurnRadius="9.0"
		SlowTurnRadius="1.0"
		AccelerationSeconds="0.21s"
		FormationPriority="NO_FORMATION"
		AirborneTargetingHeight="30"
		BrakingSeconds="0.21s"
		MinTurnSpeed="0%"
		BehaviorZ="SURFACE_RELATIVE_HEIGHT"
		Appearance="TWO_LEGS"
		PreferredHeight="90"
		CanMoveBackward="false"
		/>

	<LocomotorTemplate
		id="ShrikeSquadLocomotor"
		Surfaces="AIR"
		TurnTimeSeconds="2.0s"
		TurnTimeDamagedSeconds="2.0s"
		FastTurnRadius="33.0"
		SlowTurnRadius="33.0"
		FormationPriority="NO_FORMATION"
		WaitForFormation="true"
		AirborneTargetingHeight="30"
		AccelerationSeconds="0.5s"
		BrakingSeconds="0.1s"
		MinTurnSpeed="100%"
		CanMoveBackward="false"
		BehaviorZ="SURFACE_RELATIVE_HEIGHT"
		Appearance="WINGS"
		CirclingRadius="50"
		PreferredHeight="90"
		MaxTurnWithoutReform="45d"
		/>

    increase the drone member flying speeds (in the gameobject) significantly - id suggest like 50% more than the squad flying speed

    this is actually what causes the shadow team bugs (random flying altitudes + refusing to shoot etc) in kw 1.02... they buffed shadow speeds but messed up that necessary speed difference between the squad and members

      I concur, this is the most likely cause of the issue.

      Should make the Squad Member Speed faster than the Squad Speed.

      On another note, I see you added another 'Tiberium' Scrin unit for them Aliens.

      Though Im Not sure if I like to see that Zerg Camo...

        As far as I can see, both of you are saying the same - the members should be fast than the squad :P

        But thats allready the case - I just increased the member speed again to see if it changes, but still the same problem.
        However, the position itself seems to be fine - its the altitude that the problem.
        And the more I look at it, the more I get the feeling its allways the same drones that are having the problem...


        @ cgf123
        the shadows are another reason why I would like to have that bug fixed ^^

        Well, placeholder grafics :P (I think the drone is even used as a projectile for the Scrin Scourge)
        I only remembered the "Tiberium" Shrikes after I put the unit in the game... and dammit, it getting harder and harder to find any reliable infos to Tiberium...

        I might evn remove the whole unit again - the more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Scrin dont really need such a drone
