Are Armored Buildings Possible ?

[SpaceDorf]

I was looking around for examples, but I could not find anything.

Is it possible to give armor values to buildings ?
If yes, how ?

[CannibarRechter]

I think: no. At most, you have the structure acquiring addition hit points from the statFactors of the resource it is built with.

I thought it is possible. I found following in the def of the vanilla wall:

Code Select Expand


    <damageMultipliers>
      <li>
        <damageDef>Bomb</damageDef>
        <multiplier>2</multiplier>
      </li>
    </damageMultipliers>

This makes walls take more damage from grenades (somehow 4 times instead of 2?).

[CannibarRechter]

Are you asking if that type of damage def is generalized? From a quick look at the C#, it appears to be generic to Thing, so I should say so.

[SpaceDorf]

What damage type ?

Blast damage for buildings ?

But I can't give a building a Armor Value ?
How are those defined in Clothes.

> But I can't give a building a Armor Value ?

You should be able to give buildings a damageMultiplier, as cited.

ThingDef.cs has a declaration for:

Code Select Expand


public List<DamageMultiplier> damageMultiplers;


That means that every Thing can have the def. Whether or not the code processes it for all things... well, try it and let us know. ;-P

[SpaceDorf]

Now I understand how you meant that.

Okay, all I need is a list of names for the multipliers.
This should be in the XML-Overview Milon published.

====== EDIT ======

After some testing I can confirm that damage multipliers can be used to set the damage received in percent.
This is the list of multipliers :
Arrow, Bomb, Bullet, EMP, Flame, Stab

<damageMultipliers>
     <li>
        <damageDef>Arrow</damageDef>
        <multiplier>0.5</multiplier>
    </li>
</damageMultipliers>

Well technically the multiplier should work for all damageDefs with an actual damage value, should it?
Meaning the full list for vanilla damageDefs (not counting mods) should be:
Cut, SurgicalCut, ExecutionCut (last 2 can never happen to a building), Crush, Blunt, Stab, Bullet, Arrow, Scratch, Bite, ToxicBite, Bomb, Flame and Burn.

Not sure but it could probably also work with Stun and EMP.

Thats the list taken from the XML Documentation which applies to buildings.

And tested by me ingame.
