TWHL

Changes #

  • Boids (flocking flyers) no longer block the player movement.

New parameters #

  • Custom Fly Speed- an average speed of the flyer. Default is 125.
  • Custom Turn Rate - how fast the flyers turn. Default is 75.
  • Custom Check Distance - how far flyers check to not collide with the walls. Default is 192. Set this value higher if flyers tend to bump into the walls on your map. Setting a higher Turn Rate and slower Fly Speed helps as well.
  • Custom Too Close Distance. Flyers try to maintain a certain distance between each other and especially the flock leader. This is the minimum distance the flyers should maintain. Default is 100.
  • Custom Too Far Distance - the maximum distance the flyers should maintain between each other and especially the flock leader. Default is 256. This must be larger than the Too Close Distance.

If the flyers tend to bump into the walls on your map try do the following:

  • Set the higher than default Check Distance, e.g. 512.
  • Set the higher than default Turn Rate, e.g. 100.
  • Set the slower than default Fly Speed, e.g. 100.

Soundscripts #

  • FlockingFlyer.Idle - idle sounds.
  • FlockingFlyer.Alert - played when some flyer in the flock is gettng killed. Not used because killable boids are not implemented yet.
