SW.AffectsTarget=notself

[Chanterier]

Example: I want to create an structure that activates the ForceShield via AutoFire, SelfTargeting around but does not affect itself. ATM it is not possible. There are several other instances in which one would not like the SW building affect itself so a new option for the AffectsTarget would be useful.

GenericWarhead SW, IronCurtain.Duration, DamageSelf=no.

This applies to all the possible uses of SW.AffectsTarget=notself.

[Chanterier (speederyr)]

Yeah, I know about IC WH. But what comes from this is an Iron Curtain affecting the building and not the Force Shield, no?

[mevitar (mevitar)]

Unless you need the 'power out' feature of the SW, nobody will even notice.

[Chanterier (speederyr)]

That and the color of shield will be black, no? I want this for Allies, not Soviets.

You can change the animation of the Generic WH SW to use the FORCSHLD animation (and change the CombatLight color to blue). Like mevitar said, if you can do without the power-out function, this would perhaps be the easiest way.

Iron Curtain and Force Shield SWs don't have a firing building (almost none of the SWs do have one, it's just the Nuke and the EMP from TS). It is possible to recreate this effect, though. However, it is not easily possible to enable this for all SWs.

Would this work? An option to exclude all buildings from IC or Force Shield that provide the SW that is currently fired.

[WoRmINaToR (worminator)]

I'm sure that would work perfectly. After all for Speeder's proposed SW to work, he would need to use the SW.Target=self (or whatever the tag is, I can hardly remember and it's actually one of the more prominent features in my mod xD), which only targets the first-built building that provides the SW.

Is this on our pseudo-mental "list of stuff to do"?
If so, somebody set this to "invalid" and update the blueprint.
If not, somebody set this to "won't fix" and the blueprint to "obsolete".

(Alternatively, the original requester can, of course, proactively start whipping the blueprint into shape.)

[mevitar (mevitar)]

I think this can be closed, as both Iron Curtain and Force Shield now have a tag to prevent a specific object from being affected by them. Also, for uses that don't require Force Shield power down effect (or Force Shield color), Graion's method suffices.
