Naval Support

Overview

A number of changes were added for improved naval / water-based unit support. The relevant parameters live across several modules and INI files; this page collects the water-related features and links to the detailed documentation.

Ships and Naval Death

• ShipSlowDeathBehavior - multi-stage sinking death (delay → topple → sink) for ships, with FX/OCL and condition states per stage.
• PhysicsBehavior water parameters - DoWaterPhysics, WaterExtraFriction, WaterImpactFX for objects reacting to the water surface.
• Die water depth conditions - MinWaterDepth / MaxWaterDepth to trigger different death effects depending on water depth.
• HeightDieUpdate TargetHeightIncludesWater - die relative to the water surface.
• Water Impact OCL nugget - WaterImpactFX / WaterImpactSound for debris hitting water.

Water Effects

• FXList height & surface restrictions - AllowedSurface = WATER/LAND/ALL and Min/MaxAllowedHeight for ParticleSystem and Sound nuggets, so effects can be restricted to water or land.
• Water depth terrain lighting - darken/tint terrain based on depth below the water surface.
• HideScorchmarksAboveGround - avoid scorch decals floating on the water surface.

Naval Weapons

• DumbProjectileBehavior DynamicHeightMinScale/DynamicHeightMinRange - scale projectile arc height by distance, useful for torpedoes and arcing naval guns.
• Torpedo / MissileAIUpdate behavior was improved internally (no new parameters) to travel correctly towards naval targets.

Salvage / Crates on Water

• Crate AllowWater - allow salvage/pickup crates to be created on water.

Carriers

• Drone Carrier system - modules for a simplified mobile aircraft carrier (DroneCarrierContain, DroneCarrierAIUpdate, CarrierDroneAIUpdate, ...).
