[posila][0.17.41] gate cannot survive spiter acid on ground

Post by MrBuisson »

Hi,

well, I am not sure that this is a bug but I can't avoid finding it strange. Most if not all building resit the acid of spliter that remain on the ground, but a gate that is not lowered get damage as if it where a player. This kills a gate in about one and a half second and fells non logical as walls, turret, rails & co do not sustains damage except for the first impact. Stranger, a lowered gate has imunity - the gate only get destroyed if it's up.
If you ever have gate clsoe to turret, the AOE of spliter means that no gate survive more than one shoot. It's kind of short lived for a defence element.

regards
A Buisson.

I added the resistance but the ground spit should not apply the damage over time.
It's a damage layer issue (spit on ground is considered train damage)

It might be nice to add entity_name and entity_type filters to the trigger item, similar to what we have for selection tools,

Then for instance a mod could define a mod item that only affects behemoth biters, or only damages tanks etc.

+10

Would be awesome to build coop items with type=character.

I am afraid entity_name and entity_type filters selection tools have are too expensive for trigger system (especially since we went overboard with damage-over-time in 0.17), but I have something else in mind that I might have mentioned when acid splashes were being worked on.

Nice !
It’s a good thing that the train got upgraded too, I don’t know how many I lost as they drove or stopped over Splitter acid
