air unit wrecks colliding with shields

[Exotic_Retard]

hello,
as the title says im trying to make air units collide with shields after they die, so that i can modifiy their crash damage weapons to reduce the damage they do when falling.

would be great if i could get some help with that, since shield collide with only projectiles it seems and i couldnt get it to work.

the air unit is still alive when its falling so i guess i need to change something in OnCollide but i dont know what.

if i could get some pointers or the like i would be very happy, thanks in advance

sounds a bit confusing, so if you have a unit standing outside of shield but close to it, and czar wreck falling very close to unit.
then t3 shield will take damage, modify czar damage to 0 and unit outside of shield will not get damaged? (that completely nullifyes splash damage)

maybe they should behave more like projetiles? do damage as soon as they collide with shield? well then if you have t3 shield at 1% of it health then explosion will happen at they top of shield and will not damage anything else (just like it happens with t3 arty shells. that can maybe damage perimeter monitoring system cause it is so tall, but will not damage shorter buildings)

i just want to say that you will have to think a bit more about how exactly you want shields interract with wrecks

once i get the unit to collide with shields this can be done pretty easy, we can fire off the weapon and so deal damage to the shield, and then set it to 0 (or not 0, we can have the shield absorb only some of the damage if we want), change the unit trajectory so its slower after hitting the shield, (or even have some units bounce off)

the issue im facing is that there is no collision at all between units and shields right now .__.

(at least OnCollisionCheck seems to be not called)

well, since no one decided to help poor Retard, i had to do it by myself : (

anyway, observe:



Mighty uef shields effortlessly deflect aircraft by the dozens as they fall out of the sky



yeah, so now shields absorb some crash damage, and make dead air units bounce off!

experimental units fall through, and not all of their crash damage is absorbed either.

so obviously this is for use in equilibrium, but i decided to make a version to submit as a pr as well, heres the code:

You actually pulled it off? I'm shocked, good job!

Oh my got
You earn your cookie! I dont need porn anymore looking on bouncing air wreack is enought.

Neat! Is it possible to turn this into a stand-alone mod?

well technically yes, but why would you play it without the rest of equilibrium (

is there something you dislike about the rest of the mod?

also theres a reasonable chance of it being integrated into base faf so you might not need a standalone at all
