[Done] How to prevent unit damage

Post by TheSAguy »

Hi,

In my mod Natural Evolution Enemies, I have the worms launch units at the player.

The problem I have is that the created units are being damaged by the worms own attack.
As can be seen from below image, the 4 units around me is damaged by the worms attack.
Image

On low evolution factor the created units are instantly killed.
I thought that the same force would not hurt itself, is that not the case?

Not sure what code to give here. Mod it attached.
This is the unit creation code:

Code: Select all

---------------------------------------------
-- Spawn Launched Units
function SpawnLaunchedUnits(enemy)
	local subEnemyName = subEnemyNameTable[enemy.name]
	if not subEnemyName then
		return
	end
	if subEnemyNameTable[enemy.name][global.evoFactorFloor] then
		subEnemyName = subEnemyNameTable[enemy.name][global.evoFactorFloor]
	end
	local number = subEnemyNumberTable[enemy.name][global.evoFactorFloor]
	for i = 1, number do
		local subEnemyPosition = enemy.surface.find_non_colliding_position(subEnemyName, enemy.position, 2, 0.5)
		if subEnemyPosition then
			local create_unit = enemy.surface.create_entity({name = subEnemyName, position = subEnemyPosition, force = game.forces.enemy})
		end
	end
end

This is the Worms attack code. (Same Force)

Code: Select all

 --- Mutated WORM Projectile
  {
    type = "projectile",
    name = "Mutated-Projectile-Worm",
    flags = {"not-on-map"},
    acceleration = 0.005,
    action =
    {
      type = "direct",
      action_delivery =
      {
        type = "instant",
        target_effects =
        {
          {
            type = "play-sound",
            sound =
            {
              {
                filename = "__base__/sound/creatures/projectile-acid-burn-1.ogg",
                volume = 0.8
              },
              {
                filename = "__base__/sound/creatures/projectile-acid-burn-2.ogg",
                volume = 0.8
              },
              {
                filename = "__base__/sound/creatures/projectile-acid-burn-long-1.ogg",
                volume = 0.8
              },
              {
                filename = "__base__/sound/creatures/projectile-acid-burn-long-2.ogg",
                volume = 0.8
              }
            }
          },
		  {
			type = "create-entity",
			entity_name = "unit-cluster",
			trigger_created_entity = "true"
          },
		  {
			type = "create-sticker",
			sticker = "slowdown-sticker"
          },
          {
            type = "create-entity",
            entity_name = "acid-splash-purple"
          },
          {
            type = "nested-result",
            action =
            {
              type = "area",
              radius = 2,
              action_delivery =
              {
                type = "instant",
                target_effects =
                {
                  {
					type = "damage",
					damage = {amount = 10*NE_Enemies.Settings.NE_Difficulty, type = "explosion", force = "enemy" }
				  },
				  {
                    type = "damage",
                    damage = {amount = 20*NE_Enemies.Settings.NE_Difficulty, type = "acid", force = "enemy"}
                  },
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    },
    animation =
    {
      filename = "__Natural_Evolution_Enemies__/graphics/entity/acid-projectile-red.png",
      line_length = 5,
      width = 16,
      height = 18,
      frame_count = 33,
      priority = "high"
    },
    shadow =
    {
      filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/acid-projectile-purple/acid-projectile-purple-shadow.png",
      line_length = 5,
      width = 28,
      height = 16,
      frame_count = 33,
      priority = "high",
      shift = {-0.09, 0.395}
    },
    rotatable = false
  },
Any thoughts on how to spawn the units and not have them hurt/die from the worms attack?

Thanks.

should be something along

              force = "enemy",
              action_delivery =

               damage = {amount = 10*NE_Enemies.Settings.NE_Difficulty, type = "explosion", force = "enemy" }
              }

TriggerItem
Table with the following fields:
type :: string: One of "direct", "area", "line", "cluster"
action_delivery :: array of TriggerDelivery (optional)
source_effects :: array of TriggerEffectItem
entity_flags :: EntityPrototypeFlags (optional): The trigger will only affect entities that contain any of these flags.
collision_mask :: CollisionMask: The trigger will only affect entities that would collide with given collision mask.
force :: string: One of "all", "enemy", "ally". If "enemy", the trigger will only affect entities whose force is different from the attacker's and for which there is no cease-fire set. "ally" is the opposite of "enemy".
repeat_count :: uint

you could also just set the resistances of the units of whatever damage type the turret is shooting to a 100% resistance.

True, but let's say the worm did poison damage and I set poison damage resistance to 100%, what happens when you throw a poison capsule at the biter, he eats it and then you for a snack...

I didn't say it was the best solution, just that it's an option.

Hmm,
I was wondering if there is a way to prevent the fire attack created by the spitters, killing themselves? (I don't want to give the units 100% fire resistances )
Image

As you can see from the above action... they die when they walk in the fire they created.
I added "force = "enemy"" to just about every spot I could, but this still happens. Here is the code:
(I got rid of some if the smoke and sound stuff to make it a little easier to read)

Code: Select all



-- Stream Spitters
function Spitter_Attack_Stream(data)
  return
  {
    type = "stream",
	force = "enemy",
    ammo_category = "flamethrower",
    cooldown = data.cooldown,
    range = data.range,
    projectile_creation_distance = 1.9,
    damage_modifier = data.damage_modifier or 1.0,
    warmup = 15,
	min_range = 6,
    turn_range = 1.0 / 3.0,
	fire_penalty = 15,	
	gun_barrel_length = 2 * data.scale,
	gun_center_shift = {
	    north = {0, -0.65 * data.scale},
	    east = {0, 0},
	    south = {0, 0},
	    west = {0, 0}
	},
    ammo_type =
	    {
        category = "flamethrower",
        action =
		    {
			type = "direct",
			force = "enemy",
			action_delivery =
			    {
				type = "stream",
				force = "enemy",
				stream = "ne-fire-stream",
				duration = 160,
			    }
		    }
	    },
      cyclic_sound = {}

    animation = ne_spitter_attack_animation(data.scale, data.tint),
  }
end



data:extend(

    ground_light = {intensity = 0.8, size = 4},

    smoke_sources = {},

    action =

      {

      },
      {

        radius = 2.5,

I'm not sure if fire fields can be made selective - I'm guessing that they have no associated force - it's just a burning fire.
I think you might want to add some special "biter fire" damage type and then make biters resistant to it.
