Jammer Functions

[Clavin12]

How do they work? What can you apply them to? Can they be turned on and off? Can they be put on a vehicle and have it affect the ships around them?

[Ded10c]

I think Jammers are a combination of ODF and class code, but I've not done much with them so I wouldn't be sure. You can tap things to vehicles using NK1's Attacher Code DLL snippet.

[Clavin12]

Does that mean that it will have to be coded for each individual map if I want jammer units?

[Ded10c]

Possibly, but you'd have to ask NK1 to be certain.

Unless someone finds a way to make a BZS compile down to a CPP. C would work but would require some more effort to get into the CPP template.

My classes work best for CPP coded DLLs, drop ins, work well on MP.

For odf type modding, Jammers are buildings, and so cannot really be attached to vehicles, You should be able to spawn then as mines or spraybomb/building type objects as well constructing them or have them spawned on buildings using taps.

Not quite sure how I feel about jammers as a special weapon, maybe they could be a bit too powerful or annoying

Black Dog Snooper Scout has Jammer Mines (Fleshstorm)

[Clavin12]

I can probably find a way to integrate them gracefully. I wanted to know because my Fae race should be very good at hiding.

I wish that thing was build-able.

So N1 has a code snippet, how can I use it, a jamming ship for the aeneans would match their style i think.

[Nielk1]

That was actually a plan, but as an addon to any ship.
