Artillery kill=unit no explode

[Shade Da Scout]

Is it possible to make units die "normally" and not to explode when killed by an artillery based attack?

Example:Mortar team kills footman=footman explodes.
What I want:Mortar team kills footman=footman doesn't explode.He dies normally.

Try this:
Clear the "Art - Special" field of all units that explode.

Then unit will disappear and leave no corpse...I wait the unit to fall, die, leave corpse etc.

Change attack type from artillery to missile

Missile is not supposed to be homing... :|

No, you have to change the weapon type.

Missile is not supposed to be homing... :|

? Ofc it is.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

As far as I know and I tested, only artillery is not "homing"
If missile is not homing it will hit the target sooner or later...

I just want to make a god damn realistic archer which doesn't blow up its target on kill...

Clealy the map is not Diablo III based as the Demon Hunter blows enemies appart with normal arrows.

Try changing the unit clasifications of all targets. Some like mechanical or structures cannot explode I belive (Meat Wagon, Siege Engine for example do not explode).

Ah ok now I understood what you mean by homing. First I though you mean the boolean but what you need is something else.

For the solution of your problem use weapon type missile (splash) and set the homing boolean to false. You can then adjust the small and medium damage factor and ranges as you wish.

I thought it will work...aaaaaaaand it didn't...but you made me think:"Why they no explode?"

Thank you sir for making me look at siege engine info.

It will hit the target sooner or later, test it yourself...


Mystery solved.

No it wont. I dont say things just because I assume them, when I say something you can be sure I tested it someday.

Take a look at the testmap. If thats not what you want I misunderstood you in some way.

Missile and Artillery are still different attack types.

Artillery targets the unit's location at launch, while Missile (splash) will target the unit's location calculated based on its current speed.

 

[Shade Da Scout]

@Ezekiel12, my bad...I would always put "area of effect target" and without it, it is ok.

@rulerofiron99, indeed.

Now I can't make my mind if I should use Missile (Splash)=smart archers who can predict location of moving unit, or artillery=fire at location

damn..
