Health settable via script

For the coders:
On line 816 in CobInstance.cpp, add the line

Code: Select all

unit->health = ((param/100.0f)*unit->maxHealth);

it should be in the SetUnitVal function definition after the "case HEALTH:" and before the "break".



For the modders:
Use the syntax

Code: Select all

set HEALTH to 25;

to set the health to to a percentage of its max health. In this case, the health is set to 25% of the max health. You can use more than 100% too, so something like

Code: Select all

set HEALTH to 300;

would set the unit's health to 3 times its maximum value.



IMHO, this should be made a part of standard/regular Spring, since it in no way breaks the old units, but really extends modding potential.

heh, sorry to rez, but this will make kill scripts work now (Have script detect when a unit is at very low health, have a nice little death animation, then set the health to 0)

Have the SY's given support for this to be included in the engine? Or will ti be assigned to project forks and custom executables?
