Battleship floods its decks

[Saktoth]

Cant figure out where exactly in the script its being lowered, but it sinks too low into the water.

[evil4zerggin]

Decrease its waterLine.

[Saktoth]

Oh, right. It'll be in my next commit.

[evil4zerggin]

ud.waterline = udTable.GetFloat("waterline", 0.0f);
	if ((ud.waterline >= 5.0f) && ud.canmove) {
		// make subs travel at somewhat larger depths
		// to reduce vulnerability to surface weapons
		ud.waterline += 10.0f;
	}

I hate Spring sometimes.

It's too far up now. The Core artillery sub and advanced torpedo launcher can hit it but regular subs miss, the torpedo just runs underneath the ship.

[evil4zerggin]

Change the model I guess then.

[Saktoth]

Possibly a hitbox issue.

[Saktoth]

Right, the hitbox is large enough and the weapons will hit. The sub is just aiming too high so the projectile flies out of the water, turns downwards due to gravity, falls back into the water, then continues dowards and goes underneath. Same problem as radar.

I thought Sweetspot determines where a unit fires so maybe it was too high on the model: nope! Sweet spot is under the water level, they arent shooting the sweetspot.

There are numerous solutions (bit of tracking on torps etc) but id like them to aim at the right spot, anyone know whats up here?

[Google Frog]

Due to the hitbox bug the ship won't take any damage when hit on the front or back.

[Saktoth]

I tried it with decades, they hit. Does it depend on weapontype?

[evil4zerggin]

Weapons with impactOnly should do fine, otherwise they might not damage the battleship unless they have large AoE.

[evil4zerggin]

(Decades have impactOnly.)

Also, SweetSpot? is a lie. It doesn't exist in the source.

Old battleship is no longer in use, new battleship is fine.
