I've stated I'd be willing to make a separate mapping PR to add these features to all CM maps, if this PR is merged. |
|
tell me if I should remove the changelog, as there is no actual addition to the main game loop, might be a bit confusing and better to be placed at mapping PR |

also title will be changed before it is merged, just do not want peope to have hard feeling from reading title and not the PR |

at the risk of suggesting something so blasé, i like the shutter system on TGMC that's used for this purpose. it's pretty much identical, i just think it thematically might fit in a little better; im trying very hard to think about particle dispersion of gas to ground from the dropship in the atmosphere like the concept, though and wouldnt mind this as-is, just the flavor could be finessed, i guess. |
I am gona try to get some "gas" sprites aka gas bombs droped on the LZ to secure it |

Closing this PR in favor of #6363 Thank you for doing some of the initial leg work for it. |
# About the pull request This PR is a more fleshed out implementation of #6296 that can likely be expanded more into Zonespace's plans for generators powering turrets and more (additional help for low pop). Smoke takes 6 seconds from its spawn before it will deal burn damage and smoke in vehicles takes up to 7 seconds to dissipate. The sequence of events are as follows: 1. After ~~two~~ three minutes from round start, a "fake" OB will be launched to each landing zone that then causes a miasma (loosely considered CN20-X miasma since it affects xenos too) in all landing zone areas. 2. When the first dropship departs, the smoke will clear 3. When the first dropship lands, four ~~10~~ 20 minute gauss sentries are automatically deployed randomly in the NW, NE, SW, and SE regions of the LZ immediately around the dropship:  4. As the sentry runs out of power it warns the battery is running low (battery still depletes if undeployed & cannot be moved or manipulated any other than deployment/undeployment) 5. When unpowered, it can only be undeployed so it is no longer blocking movement. Since I am primarily using the `is_landing_zone` area var to determine where to make inhospitable, all maps need to be verified: - [X] LV-624 - [X] Shivas Snowball - [X] Solaris Ridge - [X] Fiorina Science Annex - [X] Trijent Dam - [ ] Sorokyne Strata (Would need mapping fixes to expand LZs, but would conflict with #6071) - [X] Kutjevo Refinery - [X] Chances Claim - [X] New Varadero - [X] Corsat* (Current Corsat is fine, #6217 would need some changes) - [X] Fiorina Cellblocks* - [X] LV-759 Hybrisa Prospera* # Explain why it's good for the game Ultimately this came about because of problems where marines are not able to get a foothold quickly enough first drop before being overwhelmed. This especially affects low pop. The goals of this change are to make survivors holding LZs basically impossible, to deter xenos from wanting to go near LZs, and to give marines at least ~~10~~20 minutes after first drop time to create a FOB. # Testing Photographs and Procedure <details> <summary>Screenshots & Videos</summary> https://youtu.be/o8kE13Oua6o   </details> # Changelog :cl: Drathek cuberound balance: After three minutes from round start, landing zones will be covered in a deadly gas balance: First dropship deployment will clear gas, and first dropship arrival will deploy 4 sentries that last 20 minutes refactor: Refactored smoke code maptweak: Expanded LZ areas on Trijent Dam and Kutjevo Refinery maptweak: Shrunk LZ1 on Shivas Snowball and LZ2 on LV624 slightly maptweak: Removed fog on Chances Claim since it will be replaced by smoke and tweaked southern tunnel area to not be considered a LZ fix: Fixed weird LZ lighting on some maps spellcheck: Replaced/removed synth coughing emotes in smoke /:cl: --------- Co-authored-by: Vero <[email protected]>
About the pull request
adds a fog that is removed on DS landing and omnisentryguns ment for LZ that last for 10 minits after first touchdown, THIS IS NOT MAPPING PR, at least for now, it is not used in any map, reqires mappers to add it. Mby getting some better smoke / gas spirte if someone is able to do that would be apriciated. aka alamayer drops gasbombs and omnisentryguns on LZ to secure the landing ( welp at least some IC explonation for fog on LZ aint it?) also fog removal on flyby landing, if it happens before first drop, is intentional. sentrgun numbers NEED adjusting, I threw in some random stuff, the sentrygun is work in progress mostly
Explain why it's good for the game
this solves two issues, survivors or xenos camping LZs for first landing. And early FOB rushes. first one is kinda meh second one is realy needed, round ending at 40 minits just is not fun for anyone, this does not make early fob pushes impossible but a lot harder, relevant voices said that mechanical solution is better then rule, sentrygun punishes you in predictable way and you do not have to argue with it. And admins hate handeling "t3s are standing on LZ first drop" tickets so it is win win
