(remastered)
Questions about Lurker weapon (or "goto max. range"?):
- Is it possible to do multiple damage (e.g. 10*4) per attack?
Lurker weapon seems to do damage once per target. Add dogrddamage/domissiledmg and/or set Weapon.Factor=2 still does damage once.
- Is it possible to reduce cooldown?
Lurker weapon's animation seems to take a fixed amount of time and it seems as if there can be one attack on-the-fly per attacker.
Reduce Weapon.Cooldown cannot speed up attack. Add attack in iscript does not launch another attack.



None.

The lurker weapon (Specifically weapon #109, regardless of what weapon is actually assigned to lurker in units.dat) is hardcoded to only damage the unit if the attacker hasn't damaged the target in last 32 frames.
Without the special check it would deal damage for each domissiledmg in iscript, so it would be quite strong against buildings and other large units, which can even happen if lurker gets killed while the attack is still going since the check is for target-attacker instead of target-bullet.



None.

Lol, is there anything about the lurker that isn't hardcoded in some way.



Trial and error... mostly error.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
