Gates

[wzdev-ci]

keyword_gates resolution_fixed type_patch (an actual patch, not a request for one) | by Per

---

This experimental patch implements gates. It is currently a proof of concept, but it does work. Sort of. Placeholder gate graphics by Mysteryem.

Gates are implemented as a kind of wall that lowers itself into the ground once a friendly (currently same player) unit attempts to cross it. There is currently not corner version of gates. They open/close individually, but all connected gates should probably open/close as one. They should not close when units are standing on top of them (oops!). No idea when they should appear in tech tree - currently at the same time as hardcrete wall.

May eat your kitten? ROFL.

Sounds good though.

Just played with this a little bit. Cool feature!

[wzdev-ci]

Per uploaded file gates3.diff (19.1 KiB)

New version with general improvements. Now does not close when droid is on top. Only code changes included. Need new model that is rotated the same way as walls.

[wzdev-ci]

Per uploaded file gatedata.diff (3.4 KiB)

Sample gate data for testing, reuses existing wall model. Stealth walls!

(In [9854]) Add backend support for gates using new REF_GATE structure type. See #1179 for more info.

What type of animation does it use? What do I need to do to get my model to open a gate? or is it still harcoded and doesn't use event-driven animation?

[wzdev-ci]

Per commented

---

It is a new hardcoded animation, although I wrote in such a way that it should be easy to generalize in the future. If the model has the type "GATE", then it will lower itself into the ground once a friendly unit tries to pass it, then raise itself later.

[wzdev-ci]

MaNGusT commented

---

I've found a bug. When it lowers itself, it also lowers its baseplate model :(

Also, pathfind works very bad with gates. Units don't know that a gate is a "door", they think that it is a wall. Only when gate is opened, units see that they can pass through. :/

[wzdev-ci]

Per commented

---

I did not think about the base plate. Will fix.

The path finding should work for your own (and I think allied) units, and I tested that before I committed. How do you tell that it is not working?

[wzdev-ci]

MaNGusT commented

---

sorry, I've tested path find a bit more and then I see that it works properly.

(In [10407]) Add gates to the game. Model by Mysteryem. May have to be re-balanced a bit. Feedback welcome. See #1179 for more info.

[wzdev-ci]

Per commented

---

MaNGusT - I do not see how a gate could be drawn with a base plate at all with the current code. Do you have a model I can test with?

[wzdev-ci]

Per commented

---

One last thing that needs fixing before this ticket can be closed - the open/close animation is not adapted to the logic/graphic separation, and needs to use the new graphical interpolation functions to avoid the appearance of jerkiness.

don't know if this is related but i had several trucks selected and went to click on gate icon in build menu the cursor stayed a target like when you direct units to a position.
anyway this is what i had in console after crash

Grab it. ;-)
To see baseplate I've added some parameters to the "structures.txt"

Seems to be some issues on the state of the gates over netplay
