Bug Description

When a moving unit with a hover locomotor is hit directly by a warhead with Ripple.Radius set, it rocks in a weird way instead of just jumping up and down, like units usually do when affected by such warheads. It also happens when a unit with hover locomotor fires an AreaFire=yes weapon with a warhead with Ripple.Radius set.

This is a video of the weird rocking I'm talking about.

First is the hover unit firing a AreaFire=yes weapon with a warhead with Ripple.Radius. Just after that, the same unit is directly hit by another warhead with Ripple.Radius (while it's on the move). It rocks in a strange way in both cases.

This is a video of how it should look normally.

Two hover units are hit by a warhead with Ripple.Radius, but when they are stationary. As you see, even the directly hit unit doesn't rock like it did on the first video.

##### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION #####
Movement/locomotor tags for the units:
Locomotor={4A582742-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
MovementZone=Amphibious
SpeedType=Hover

Ripple.Radius was set to 30 on both warheads.

I totally forgot this issue. The weird rocking can be reproduced by non-hovering but moving tanks, firing Ripple as an AreaFire.

Fixed. Appears not to happen for any locomotor now.

Although i don't personally mind that (i didn't like that effect myself :P ), the issue is that now it doesn't happen AT ALL. Some people might have liked that, now they'll have to live without it. But unless we have people coming here to protest against it, i guess it can stay this way.

Thanks!

I'll wait for the "Hover locomotor has no weird rocking any more bug report". :p
