[Systems] Chrono Technology

[Daffa]

Hey all, howdy? (mind late night)

Anyway, I'm working on two stuffs based on Red Alert 2 Chrono Legionnaire unit and I intend to ask for some feedback before I sent it to the spell section (let's just say I'm being kind to the mods and reviewers).

Chrono Gun

Don't yell at me for using PauseUnit, I'll use that as template for Stun System later on. Just to ensure the core actually works.

Description : Simulating Chrono Legionnaire attack from Red Alert 2. Prevent all units from attacking the target and "freeze" the target completely in time. Other unit of the same weapon can still attack the target. Damage is not applied unit the unit hits zero health, in that case "disappears". Requirements : Damage Engine by Bribe Unit Indexer by Bribe Notes : Due to nature of the system, cancelling an attack order might need to be executed several times if the last attack projectiles are yet to reach target due to auto attack enforcement.

Chrono Movement

WIP

 

[LimitingBounds]

For Chrono movement:

-make a passive ability to be detected by the Chrono Trigger (lol)
-set pseudo-timer arrays and make a function that makes them tick
-make a insta-move action function triggered with a unit issued a point-target order event, considering that the ordered unit has the ability mentioned above and the pseudo-timer is expired
-function also sets pseudo-timer to 1 second (the cooldown for the Chrono movement iirc)

This is what I forsee you'll be doing with that wip.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try to see and use them as necessary
