Helicarrier from Air to Water [Ares]

Mr.Hymn · Missile Trooper **Joined**: 01 May 2020

I am trying to make Simpledeployer. As the Ares document said unit will be movable. When I am using it. I can't deploy on water but on land and still unmovable. Am I doing something wrong here?

Via IsSimpleDeployer
Unit can simple-deploy into another type. Unlike in the original game the unit will be movable after deploying, opposed to being locked in place like the original Siege Chopper.

DeployingAnim is optional. If not present, units will convert types immediately, without turning their facing to DeployDir. See DeployDir.

Ares extends IsSimpleDeployer logic to allow deploying units not on the ground. Also, DeployToLand has been extended to also work on units using the Hover locomotor. If yes, units will land, also respecting DeployDir.

Because this conversion always happens with the unit being present on the map and guaranteed to be standing still, settings like Locomotor and Size can be changed within reasonable limits.

[TechnoType]?Convert.Deploy= (TechnoType)
The type a IsSimpleDeployer=yes unit deploys into. This converts the type after deploying completed, and after the optional DeployingAnim has finished playing. Defaults to none.

AFAIK you can't deploy a unit on water only in air or on land. The water version is probably unmovable because it's a naval unit stuck on the land.
