And so it kills the usefulness of mobile arty units assigned to mobile sensor since all move together, its better to send a constructor to build a sensor tower then, since your arty wont move out. Another thing curious I've come to notice is the following: You have a sensor tower near enemy base... and you build a sensor mobile unit and its sitting at your base. Then you have lots of arty units assigned to your mobile sensor, if you target with you mobile sensor something in range of the sensor tower, the mobile unit wont even move, it targets the enemy, and the arty assigned to the mobile sensor fires like if it where assigned to the sensor tower in range. Is this normal? And another final thing, how come the radar detector only comes in crappy wooden tower? where is the hardened radar detector tower? -- Ticket URL: http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/340#comment:13 Warzone 2100 Trac http://developer.wz2100.net/ The Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

I have an idea of what it should do... but no.. not yet. How does exactly the radar detector detects a radar? does it show on the map or something, cus I've seen no change at all. On the other hand the ECM, that one I'm definitely waiting for... my thought on this one, is that it should always put back the FOW on the enemy map, and it should reduce all viewing ranges by 50% when a unit viewing range matches the ECM hiding range. -- Ticket URL: http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/340#comment:10 Warzone 2100 Trac http://developer.wz2100.net/ The Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

Can units cloak themselves? Or are they just not visible to sensors (but visible to other units; don't units have, technically speaking, sensors as well?)? And how useful are sensors the moment ECM Jammers become available? How is the cloak status of a unit visualised for the player that owns that unit, for allies and for enemies? -- Ticket URL: http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/340#comment:2 Warzone 2100 Trac http://developer.wz2100.net/ The Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

ECM is meant as a counter-balance against artillery, and also a way to add more sneakiness and stealth to the game for players who want that. Exactly how it is to be implemented is still an open question. In the previous iteration of this work, I added ECM Towers that reduced the range of nearby sensors, including the sensors of droids. You could visualize this by pressing 'z' and see your sensor range shrinking. But I am sure we will come up with better ideas once this code becomes easier to experiment with. -- Ticket URL: http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/340#comment:3 Warzone 2100 Trac http://developer.wz2100.net/ The Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

It is a passive sensor that will reveal and allow targeting of enemy sensors, somewhat similar to CB sensors. Currently VTOL sensors are hijacked for testing, new stats stuff is needed. Range is twice the enemy's sensor range, and does not depend on the sensor's own range, which should be low. -- Ticket URL: http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/340#comment:4 Warzone 2100 Trac http://developer.wz2100.net/ The Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
