Deadly water

[anselmus]

It is possible to have the soldier loses energy very quickly when you fall into the sea, almost instantly?
As if the water was deadly.

Hi!
You are interested in objects.rfa, file
Objects/Soldiers/Common/CommonSoldierData.inc
The lines are
ObjectTemplate.WaterDamageDelay 90
ObjectTemplate.DamageFromWater 1
The first one is the number of seconds after which you start taking damage (You want to set it to 0.)
The other one is the number of HP you loose after each second of being in water. (Any big number will do here.)
By default players have 30hp, so they can swim for 90 seconds without taking damage, and then additional 30 seconds while loosing 1hp per second. This gives us 2 minutes in total before a healthy soldier drowns. Not much IMHO ^^

Ok, but it is possible to SSM, without changing the original files bf42?
Ex: Deadly water: "Wake Insland" or "Battle of Britain", "no more swimming"..rs.

It is possible in theory, never tried it though.
Just see what sides take part in your map and then for each team update their soldier with your aquaphobia script in ObjectSpawnTemplates.con.
For example: let's take Bocage.
bf1942/levels/Bocage/Conquest/ObjectSpawnTemplates.con:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.active GermanSoldier
ObjectTemplate.WaterDamageDelay 0
ObjectTemplate.DamageFromWater 9000

ObjectTemplate.active USSoldier
ObjectTemplate.WaterDamageDelay 0
ObjectTemplate.DamageFromWater 9000

If you are unsure what soldiers take part in your map, check your map's init.con

Code: Select all

game.setTeamSkin 1 GermanSoldier
[...]
game.setTeamSkin 2 USSoldier

The possible soldiers are:
BritishSoldier
CanadianSoldier
GermanDesertSoldier
GermanSoldier
JapaneseSoldier
RussianSoldier
USMarineSoldier
USSoldier
