Crash/Bug fixes:
- Fixed some potential issues that may cause crashes with units targeting
- Fixed game hanging/freezing whenever a tank made it through defenses to the end of the map
- Setup some measures to prevent crashes on Forest 5 (still need more data on crashes)
- Fixed enemy units moving after death whilst being burned by a flamethrower
Pending damage:
Units account for pending damage preventing multiple units from firing at a unit that's about to be dead, this means that units grouped up together will be doing significantly more damage, although overkilling an enemy can still happen, so we recommend a mixture of targeting set to Strongest and First.
Slow-attacking units, like tanks, will not fire at the enemy if it's already queued up enough damage to be considered dead in X seconds.
Preventing an issue where all your tanks fire at the first appearing enemy, when there are many more behind them that haven't gone into range just yet.
Units that attack fast will ignore pending damage on singular enemies as time to kill can have an impact in certain circumstances.
Maps:
- New collision preset for buildable objects
- Fixed collisions with certain static meshes on most maps, now allowing units to be placed on top of them such as on tops of bunkers
- Lowered the number of waves in Desert 2 to make it easier
- Added a new desert map
Range:
Per 1uu(unreal unit) above the path ~.286 range is added.
If relocating, the range will be updated immediately when issuing a movement command.
A tower placed level or below the path will keep its default range, no penalties are given.
UI:
The top left Unit Stats in-game has been reworked:
When you hover a unit, you will now see their stats (Country, DMG, RNG, APS, PEN, DMG Dealt)
When you click them, there will only be their name and level and the buttons to control them, which include Upgrading, Attack Priority, Movement, and Selling.
Fast Forward and Pause buttons have been moved to the top right in HUD.
Main menu text buttons have been made into icons.
Miscellaneous UI changes.
