How about the issue where hitting the top of the node does less damage than hitting the base? I think they should take the same damage.pooty wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 7:22 pm Wraith 1.61 - Fixed issue with linking ONSSpecialPowerNodes (used on several maps including Minus) where you can link any part (base, shield, sphere) of node. Also turned off Dynamic Light on missles and beam. Dynamic light can be pretty gpu/cpu intensive...and while the little glow those give off are not worth lag.

Re: General Map Announcement Thread
From Wraith's perspective with the Beam Yes, it actually redirects the beam to the base. The visual effect is different though.
Re: General Map Announcement Thread
Sorry, I wasn't clear... I didn't mean to reference the Wraith beam specifically. What I meant was on some maps, with any vehicle when you shoot the top of the node (the sphere) it does less damage than when you shoot the base. Is there a fix possible for that? Or is that by design for some reason? Seems it should do the same damage regardless where you hit the node.

Re: General Map Announcement Thread
Nope. EnergySphere (top of node) directs the damage to the base node's take damage, so they are the same.
Code: Select all
function TakeDamage( int Damage, Pawn instigatedBy, Vector hitlocation, Vector momentum, class<DamageType> damageType)
{
if (PowerNode != None)
PowerNode.TakeDamage(Damage, instigatedBy, hitlocation, momentum, damageType);
}

Re: General Map Announcement Thread
I know this is true, but I also think Enyo is on to something. I noticed when I'm playing sometimes the hitsound is a slightly deeper sound hitting the base than the energy sphere, like it's doing more damage on the base.pooty wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 6:08 pm Nope.

Splash damage weapons like rockets do a 'HurtRadius' call which then calls TakeDamage. I wonder if the damage value passed in to TakeDamage is actually smaller when you shoot the energy sphere, like HurtRadius counts a direct hit on the energy sphere as not 100% direct compared to the base.

Power Node Base vs. Sphere Damage
I thought to there was something like if you damaged the node and so did a teammate it took more damage but I don't see that in the code.

Re: Power Node Base vs. Sphere Damage
I always make sure shock balls land as close to the base as possible. I never had any hard data on that.
Speaking of damage, do manta projectiles lose any power over distance?

Re: General Map Announcement Thread
If you shock combo the middle space between the base and sphere does it do double damage since the explosion hits both then?captainsnarf wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 6:21 pmI know this is true, but I also think Enyo is on to something.

Re: Power Node Base vs. Sphere Damage
Yes they are two seperate actors, the base(node) and the sphere.. so they both would takedamage. That might account for shooting the base with say a tank, the blast might hit up toward the sphere..where the sphere might block some of the blast toward the base.If you shock combo the middle space between the base and sphere does it do double damage since the explosion hits both then?

Re: Power Node Base vs. Sphere Damage
I'll add that it's not quite double damage. At the closest range a shock combo does 200 damage, but it reduces the further out you go. Shooting the combo in the middle space between you are maybe getting ~150 damage x2.pooty wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:37 pmYes they are two seperate actors, the base(node) and the sphere.. so they both would takedamage.
