Ares

AV from Firestorm

Registered by AlexB

Bring back the AV tag not well-known from Firestorm, which allows to customize whether a projectile can target vehicles.

[Projectile]AV= (bool, defaults to AG): Whether this projectile can be fired at vehicles (UnitTypes). Opposed to TS, AV does not override AG and AA, and it can be defined independently of the two.

Implemented as specified.

Change: Deviate from TS's path: AV=yes now prevents the projectile from targeting VehicleTypes.

In TS, IsLimpetMine was responsible for the player being unable to select non-vehicle targets, and only targets automatically selected (only vehicles because of AV) were attacked. As there is yet no replacement for IsLimpetMine's missing feature besides IsPassable (and EMPulseCannon=yes has side effects), this should make the tag a tad more useful. -AlexB

14.159.168, AV=no makes the projectile unable to target and attack vehicles, but it is still able to target other TechnoTypes and terrain objects - mevitar

This tag has been removed from Ares 0.7a. Sorry for the inconvenience. -AlexB
