New feature: anti-materiel ammo

What is the point of having anti-materiel rifles if they don't damage, well, stuff? :rifle: Fixed that. There is now a new property in AmmoTypes.xml:

#define AMMO_ANTIMATERIEL		0x00000004	//4			// this ammo is anti-materiel, bullets can destroy structures

set in the xml as 4. I switched the .50 BMG and 12.7x108mm ammo to this new type, as all guns using them are big-ass anti-materiel rifles.

If a gun fires ammo with this tag, it can destroy structures on the map. How much damage is done depends on the weapon's impact. Certain structures cannot be damaged by this, like specially reinforced walls etc.

It would be cool to have states between 'wall exists' and 'wall is atomized'. I do realize that 3 shots don't vaporize a wall, but that's the 'engine' we're stuck with. It also does not take that many shots to bring down a wall (if your gun can damage it in the first place), as structure hit points are... small.

Nevertheless, some people might now find other uses for those ridiculous rifles apart from weightlifting.

This was added to the trunk in r7069 and GameDir r1984.

That's just awesome man, finally some use for those monsters...haven't found them yet on my current playthrough but on the regular 1.13 there were useless anyway, as the damage was only like 60 I think? making two 7.62x51 rounds more powerful than one .50 BMG..

I don't know if you take suggestions or not, but if you do I'd consider taking a look at opti-wand or fiber cable camera thingies, basically an option for stealth players to peek around corners, under doors, and above window frames without exposing their bodies...though if it's worth scripting and how useful it'd be remains to be seen..

Awesome man, but can you also destroy tanks with this type of ammo?

Nope. As far as the code goes, tanks are soldiers Wink

It would also be unnecessary - there is already a tag that does just that.

You'll need something bigger to do proper damage to a tank...

Okay, works so far... but the kind of structures you can destroy and can't seems a bit random.

So far I managed to bring down wooden walls and most furniture. Wooden walls with windows seem to be immune, as well as doors (Trees as well, haven't tested light vegetation).

The hit functions are odd. More often than not, what seems to be a solid hit doesn't register as one (the function for 'structure hit' simply isn't called, because the bullet apparently hits the ground). During testing, I often targetted a position way behind target, otherwise the bullet dropped too early. This is not a problem of this feature per se - I only alter the behaviour once a bullet hits a structure, but cannot do anything if the never says 'you hit that'.

That is very impressive, but where should I look for that line to change it? (I'm a noob here)

I assume you want to make an ammotype have this ability? In that case, open Data-1.13/TableData/Items/AmmoTypes.xml, and add the tag <ammoflag>4</ammoflag> to the ammotype in question.

Note that this merely allows a bullet to damage structures, but is has to deal sufficient damage in itself. An anti-material .38 won't damage much happy

Thank you! Yes, I was asking just for that.
And what about making that ammo type not destroy stuff, but penetrate/ignore it with the minimal loss of accuracy and damage?

There is no anti-material flag in build 7609. 4 was unused.

edit: Here is an excerpt from the code:
