- EnergySink - targets batteries and reactors
- Emp - targets any block capable of being powered
- Offense - target weapons
- Nav - targets gyros
- Anchor - targets thrusters
- Dot - raw damage over time
- AntiSmart - projectiles using Smart guidance will target the projectile that's using EMP
- JumpNull - stop any active jumps or shutdown jumpdrives
- Tractor - pins target in place by applying forces
- Pull - pulls target by applying forces
- Push - pushes target by applying forces
-
Effect - Effects apply energy (from "strength") to their point of impact and grows as more hits come in. It would find the closest target block type to the point of impact and begin applying EWAR type up to the block integrity * max stacks. The effect would move to the next closest target block type until all are affected by EWAR type or the projectile runs out of energy. Normally effects are used for higher fire rate weapons/beams, to generate a cumulative EWAR type.
-
Field - Applies EWAR type to all blocks within a bubble. Field bubbles can grow in size over time to the specified radius. Additionally, fields reapply their EWAR type in pulses at a set rate, for a set maximum time.
EMP & DOT EWAR Field Effects, require the target Shields to be offline, to begin effecting the target grid.
All Other EWAR Effects, ignore shielding, and begin affecting the target grid through shields.
An Exception, is EWAR Beams, which bypass shields regardless of type.
Every Functional Block has an EWAR Resistance value, that is generated from the Block's real HP.
This Resistance, is a fake HP, that is 'damaged' by most EWAR Fields, and until depleted, prevents those Fields from creating their Debuffs on themselves.
Strength Values, are the direct numbers, that deplete this resistance per successful pulse (Pulse Chance can allow misses)
As Resistance is generated from Block HP, this will be variable between Blocks, and will be in the hundreds.
- Damage , for reference; 100 HP per Steel Plate, a Light Armor block is 25 steel Plates, for 2.5k HP, 100 Damage is required to destroy 1 Steel Plate.
- Damage is Per pulse Trigger, when used for DOT, a quick pulse, at 100 damage is 100(x)PulseRate, check your Math to ensure you don't over-do it.
When an EWAR has depleted Resistance on a Block, this section (EWARFields), comes into play, it controls how long after the last incoming source of EWAR, that the effect lingers, hence "Debuff".
-
Duration = 0, // Duration in Ticks (60 per Second) , per Stack of Debuff. -
StackDuration = false, // if each Pulse, stacks their Debuff, combining duration. -
Depletable = false, // If Stacks deplete -
MaxStacks = 0, // Max Number of Stacking Effects -
TriggerRange = 0f, // Trigger Range of AOE Pulse
If the duration Stacks, each Source (Of the same type, not same weapon), will combine their respectful durations together , which if Depletable is false, will combine their effects as well; If you slam them for 3 stacks, it will do 3x the effects for 3x the duration.
Max Stacks, controls how many of these Debuffs can merge, or exist on the target; If they don't stack duration, and they do Deplete, this will cause a stack of debuffs, that weakens over time.
In the inverse case, it will be growing Debuff, that grows in strength, and will remain at that strength until the full combined duration ends.
If you have StackDuration set to True, ensure to account for your Max Stack value.
