ASSS Questions - Is it possible to make thors NOT go through walls...

Post subject: Is it possible to make thors NOT go through walls...

using a standard module via interfaces (not modifying the core)?

I'm thinking with what we have this can only be done by editing the server and recompiling it, but I'm not totally knowledgeable on ASSS.

Thanks in advance.

There are some tiles that absorb weapons including thors, have a look at the DCME map editor.

Also have a look here:

Easiest way is to make them bombs, which isn't especially easy, even with modifying the core.

Sorry, I should've clarified, when I say walls I meant bricks.

Not easy at all. Your only hope of doing it is putting a fake player in the thor's path, which means you have to *know* the thor's path. If you're looking to have it disappear without exploding, then it's not possible at all.

Well, knowing a thor's location is easier than most weapons

It doesn't bounce.. there's just the possibility that it has exploded already

You have to handle the prox though, and there's a few special cases with prox.

I guess I'll assume weapon packets don't come with a handy id number to compare packets with then =(

id or not, you only get a packet when the weapon is fired. The clients themselves check when a weapon hits... so you could know where the weapon "should" be if it didn't hit anyone, but accurately checking if it was hit by anyone yet would be ridiculously hard.

If it didn't hit anyone you'd spawn the bot to block it right? In which case you could just position the bot for a split second whether the prox still exists or not. Then you still have the problem of the thor changing path due to repels, but that could be used as a legitimate tactic.

I just repel them if I see they are a threat.
