EMEffect

[Nmenth 289]

Does EMEffect do anything in Yuri's Revenge? All I've gotten are IEs...

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Nope. Completely disabled. Ares re-enables this logic though.

[Nmenth 289]

Ares re-enables this logic though.

Yes... I know...

 

While I still think modding without that thing is more fun, I'm starting to think my mod cannot succeed without it.

 

I will have to take some time to consider whether I will finally give in and use it...

[Doctor Destiny 41]

You should. It allows quite a lot that vYR just does not.

[Nmenth 289]

I downloaded Ares and am not totally against using it if I have to, but I would rather not use it at all if there is any possible alternative.

 

So is there any way to simulate the EMEffect? All I want is a weapon that disables vehicles and buildings as long as it continues shooting them, but if it changes targets, the disabled object will become operational immediately or almost immediately.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

That's easily faked with a 0-damage Temporal weapon. Bear in mind that any warhead with Temporal=yes cannot have spread damage.

[Nmenth 289]

But can a 0 damage temporal weapon still permit other units to attack the same target? That's kind of another requirement...

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Oh, no. It displaces it, making the target invulnerable to damage.

[Nmenth 289]

That's what I thought, and that's a problem.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Then you need Ares or, at least, NPatch. I recommend Ares though since it's a DLL and not a hard EXE modification.

[Nmenth 289]

Like I said, I have Ares, I'm just still hesitant to use it. Anyone that played my mod would need Ares too then, yes?

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Yes, but it's as easy as using the LaunchBase for distribution. Very easy stuff.
