This gadget enables unit respawning at a designated target. This is mainly intended for Evocom.

Testing notes Burstfire weapons will continue to track the transposed(respawning) unit even after transposition across the map. An example of this is the Cortex Pyro. Its burst of flame follows the commander across the map and because it only has 1 HP remaining when transposition occurs, the commander dies immediately. I suggest an "immunity" timer where the commander is immune to all damage. 5 seconds should be sufficient. When the effigy first spawns in it is offset from commander's starting position. Which means sometimes it can end up in a place from which the commander cannot move. Instead, I think it should spawn in the exact same spot as the commander because the commander can just move away from it. And, if it was a "respawn pad", the commander would have to respawn in that exact spot anyways. in either case, the commander will be able to move, and the initial effigy respawn location will be traversable. |

need to add "iseffigy" customparam instructions in the comment section at the top of the gadget |

When a unit with an effigy dies, its effigy should die too. Otherwise, since they're invisible and completely undetectable (not talking about the respawn pad method here), games with "kill all units" win condition will be unwinnable because the undetectable effigy still counts as a unit. This happens when the commander self destructs, currently the effigy doesn't die or transpose with commander. |

when transposition occurs, the effigy leaves its corpse at its original position not where the transposed unit (commander) died. We want the corpse to show up where the commander died to give a reward to the attacker. |
Made the effigy spawn on the commander. added 5 second immunity after respawn. effigy is now destroyed upon commander suicide, unless respawn_pad is true. Added instructions for iseffigy.

Looking good! we need two more things:
|
Added a missing return statement
Fixed a bug preventing the effigy wreck from teleporting to the commanders position. Added clearing of the commanders commands when respawning.
Added export of target unitID when evolving. Added options: new conditions: power, and health Health transfer: "flat", "percentage", and "full
Added transfering/replacing of the effigy when evolving, or destruction if the evolution target do not have respawning enabled.
Added respawn sound

This should be ready for a merge now, unless someone finds anything else. |
