- Replaced furance with furnace in all files
- Attempted to fix global desync issue, but probably not right
- Added server_player so /get_pollution_multiplier can be called from server
My plan is to make a harder crash site version where getting free resources from outposts creates pollution.
My intention is to balance it so it's still better to get items from outposts, but this commit is intended to give me a way to take saved games and test different amounts of pollution to check for balance. I don't intend to test this on live for a while but want to test it offline, this will give me the ability to turn it on half way through a game.
Need to consider how it doesn't take into account what the item is so it will be better to get free end-game items and probably limit how much iron we let into base later in the game. Might also create interesting meta where we are careful about what resources we take from outposts depending upon the pollution making setting.
- Added function to check distance between two entities as I couldn't find one in utils
- Added call to check how far from destroyer to wagon
- Since there's now a check I removed the 2 second wait between spawning and starting to fire in favour of using distance instead (384, 386)
- fixed code indenting
- added comments to warm about potential issues with surface names
- modified check for chest containing poison so it only happens once per /strike command
- If it couldn't find a non-colliding position it errored when trying to use the worm position to spawn biters
- This would cause the callback to stop working and the roboport wouldn't spawn worms.
- Fixed by adding check for nil worm position
It's handy to know who's doing the upgrading so I've added their name to all the crash site toasts. This branch depends on the arrakis/dunes one as in that branch I moved some things into a features folder.
sandworms.lua
- Added feedback to player that places the roboport
- Added floating text *thump* as warning when roboport placed and 30 seconds before attack
- Changed worm/biter spawn balance
- Fixed failed lua check
- Changed spawn time to 5 to 15 minutes instead of 6 to 20 minutes
repair_cars.lua:
- Removed surplus else statement as requested
- Added ability for tanks to repair. Cars were very underwhelming past medium worms, their health is too low to be useful.
others:
- Fixed multiline strings in ScenarioInfo
- Saves more kill data to Scoreboard
- Displays total kills in score board
- Saves player data to crash site scenario data set
- Added scenario name to data set so that if we later want to add data for danger ores we can filter it out
- Reduced intervals for each level from 3, 2, 1, 0.5 seconds to 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5 seconds.
- Reduced cost from 7500 per level to 4000 per level.
These changes should make the tank useful in the period of the game for which it's designed. I will watch the next few games to check balance and adjust if it's too OP.
