EMP on factory/barracks

[YR M0ddEr]

Lets say I have one war factory. Then a chrono leg. hold his beam on my war factory, then I wont be able to buy any vehicles. Same happends with barracks.
I think it should also be happening the same to a war facotry/barracks if it is affected by EMP.

Another case:
If I have many war factories my vehicles will be built faster, but if one of those get EMP, I wont be getting this extra build speed from that disabled war factory.

I like the idea of allowing War Factories to be EMP'd since these type of buildings do use power and mechanical parts, but not so much the Barracks. I dont see how emp would effect the production of infantry. Cyborgs maybe but not normal infantry.

[Professor_Tesla (professor-tesla)]

Agreed. That makes sense.

[Untrue (untrue)]

This should be applied on airports and naval yards too.

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

yeah, forget about barracks lol
war factory, naval yard air airports

[AlliedG (alliedg)]

Well default should be no on any structure with Factory= (including construction yards) with the player deciding like Power= + value structures.

In regards to barracks, even basic infantry using high tech equipment, radar, sensors or tracking systems on say rockets, etc.

Also I doubt a training facility would be able to fully train a soldier if their communications, equipment is fried.

Tested, confirmed as working.

Factories are defaulted to ImmuneToEMP=yes, this should be noted.

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

There are hundreds of tags that don't change the default value for ImmuneToEMP, but I can see why a note might be helpful. Also, the SpySat could be mentioned also... Anything else?

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

The thing I explained in the "Another case:" is not fixed.

[Rogan (pdrogan)]

It's working properly... I think...

Wouldn't it be better to just put things in production on hold or like how it stops production when you don't have
enough credits rather than just disabling the units the factory provides?
Hearing NCO every time the EMP wears off from a lone factory ticks me off a bit.

YR M0ddEr: Isn't that natural?

[AlexB (alexander-b)]

It now does the same Temporal weapons do. They don't change the factory build multipliers either, IIRC. And for me the CLEG causes NCO to be played also. Maybe the problem lies deeper in the code...

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

Nobody have one war factory in a skirmish game anyway. So this is useless, on unit factories. This also works on construction yard, which is very good.
Enemy could EMP my war factory all day, as long as it dont do any damage I wont mind it, becuse its harmless.

Manual fix looks good.
Are you going to fix the build time multipliers?
