Description

Weapon range adjustment on promotion

  • Now you can add RANGE to VeteranAbilities and EliteAbilities to adjust the weapon range of this TechnoType.
    • ProjectileRange of the weapon's projectile will also be affected if Projectile.ApplyModifiers set to true.

Tip

  • Abilities from VeteranAbilities keep working at elite level, and EliteAbilities are added on top, matching how vanilla abilities accumulate.
  • VeteranRange will be applied to the range calculation. Values greater than 1.0 lengthen the range, values smaller than 1.0 shorten it, and 1.0 (the default) leaves it unchanged.

In rulesmd.ini:

[General]
VeteranRange=1.0        ; floating point value, multiplier

[SOMETECHNO]            ; TechnoType, with VeteranAbilities and/or EliteAbilities containing RANGE.
VeteranRange=           ; floating point value, multiplier, default to [General] -> VeteranRange
  • You can also add CRITIMMUNE to the TechnoTypes' VeteranAbilities and EliteAbilities to grant them immunity when promoting.
  • You can add CRITCHANCE to VeteranAbilities and EliteAbilities to adjust the critical hit chance of this TechnoType.
- Abilities from `VeteranAbilities` keep working at elite level, and `EliteAbilities` are added on top, matching how vanilla abilities accumulate.
- `VeteranCritChance` will be applied to the range calculation. Values greater than `1.0` increase the chance, values smaller than `1.0` decrease it, and `1.0` (the default) leaves it unchanged.

In rulesmd.ini:

[General]
VeteranCritChance=1.0                      ; floating point value

[SOMETECHNO]                               ; TechnoType, with VeteranAbilities and/or EliteAbilities containing CRITCHANCE.
VeteranCritChance=                         ; floating point value, multiplier, default to [General] -> VeteranCritChance

[General] VeteranGapRadiusInCells= VeteranDetectDisguiseRange= VeteranPsychicDetectionRadius= *VeteranRange=

do you want a multiplier that increase these values in veteran/elite, or you want to directly grant units such abilities?
