Chrono Gun v1.1

Let's call some people who might be interested in the systems' concept, shall we?

Once again, Preview Trigger makes me lazy showing the code

Alright, wondering if I should use PauseUnit() instead...

Once again, Preview Trigger makes me lazy showing the code

Not necessary to post code anymore since we have that feature

I'll take a look at this tonight.

 

[Daffa]

Wait, noticed something shitty in documentation. 2:00 effect.

Anyway, update the Hive's documentation now.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Hive's documentation?

 

[Daffa]

the description at Hive

 

[KILLCIDE]

Wot.

 

[Daffa]

Forget about it

INSTALLATION :
1. Tick "Automatically create unknown variables when pasting trigger data" in Preference
2. Import Unit Indexer (or Unit Event) and Damage Engine (use links above)
3. Setup the imports in step 1
4. Import the "Chrono Gun System" ability in the editor
5. Import Chrono Gun folder
6. Configure the CG Config as needed

woo cool, gotta try it out... hmm...

 

[Daffa]

I didn't incorporate fading effect which exists in Chrono Gun for RA2. In addition, the current documentation lacks information of the real events I gave to players, which I will fix soon(tm).

 

[Daffa]

Any feedback? Hello?

 

[KILLCIDE]

Needs Fixed

• When the Life of CG_Victim < CG_Damage[], you store the position of CG_Victim into a variable, but you don't do anything with it.
• To modify damage with Bribe's DDS, use DamageModifierEvent == 1.00. There's a reason why he has two seperate events for it (;

Suggestions

• An ability indicator would be nice.
• When checking to freeze the target, i'd check if the Level >= 1, and not just Level == 1.
• If you want to improve efficiency, I'd only have the Exclusion & Release triggers on if there is a frozen target active.

Status

Awaiting Update​

Mind Clarify which trigger for the first point of Needs Fix? Kind of confused which one you refer to. Will fix the other issue.

I'll take suggestions into consideration.

I wouldn't do that third one. The improvement would be soo miniscule. I just want you to think about that sort of stuff in the future if you end up making a complex system that could actually benefit from it.

Alright

Anyway, applied all except the third suggestion. Effort 》result
I also constructed an event guide to use the events, though personally I don't use them at all. It might be useful for some people.

 

[Daffa]

Too lazy for changelog, but in short :
1. Fixed all issues mentioned in KILLCIDE's review
2. Added small documentation on the event portions. Might improve them in time.

 

[KILLCIDE]

An extremely simple submission, but can be useful nonethless. Awesome re-creation!

Needs Fixed

• Nothing

Suggestions

• An ability indicator would be nice.
• Is it intentional for the passive to affect friendly units? It would be cool to add a configurable for that.
• I'd add configurables for the attachment points. Some special effects look good at different attachment points.

Approved​

Indicator eh... Maybe I can base on from Critical Strike or something. Consider the configurables when I can (and remember). Intentional to hit friendly, as this meant to override default attack.

Nice spell, I haven't played RA2 so I don't know much about it . I hope you make the cryo one too, better when packed with jump spell .

Which cyro one? Dunno if I wanna do Jump Spell, since there are systems out there for jumping (like KB3D)

Ahh, I was talking about Cryo Legionnaire from Red Alert 3(see here) who replaced Chrono Legionnaire

EDIT: If you mean the cryo one I was talking about was either legionnaire or copter, it is legionnaire sir

In short, a splash version. I'l take a look if I easily utilize Artillery system for this purpose.

 

[GaLaxY_256]

In short, a splash version.

It's not only splash version but it has notable differences like:

1. Cryo's attack deal no damage(i.e. DamageEventAmount=0)
2. Unlike chrono version, everyone can attack frozen target.
3. Frozen target can be killed when it is artillery damage or cryo legionnaire jump at him.

However, thanks for considering to make cryo version. +Rep!
