Knock-up, Traction, and forced displacement locomotor

[TaranDahl]

Knock-up warhead

• You can now launch targets in an arc with projectiles. The target will be knocked up in the opposite direction of its current facing.
  • KnockUp controls whether to enable this logic.
  • KnockUp.Range defines the knock-up distance.
  • KnockUp.Speed defines the horizontal knock-up velocity.
  • KnockUp.Angle defines the knock-up angle.

In rulesmd.ini:

[SOMEWARHEAD]            ; WarheadType
KnockUp=false            ; boolean
KnockUp.Range=0.0        ; floating point, cells
KnockUp.Speed=0.0        ; floating point, cells/frame (horizontal component)
KnockUp.Angle=45.0       ; floating point, degrees

Traction warhead

• Traction pulls affected targets toward the explosion point.
  • Traction controls whether to enable this logic.
  • Traction.Range is treated as a movement "budget" (floating point, in cells) used to limit how far the pull can progress.
  • Traction.Speed controls the linear movement speed applied when the pull occurs (cells/frame).

In rulesmd.ini:

[SOMEWARHEAD]            ; WarheadType
Traction=false           ; boolean
Traction.Range=0.0       ; floating point, cells
Traction.Speed=0.0       ; floating point, cells/frame

I have completed the basic functional tests.
However, additional tests are required, for this is touching the locomotion and cell tracker shit.

Good feature, really!

• Is there any support/feature for ignoring terrain limitation to prevent something like in the video above?
• Is there any way to make knockup/traction's speed support weight multiplier? Like the more weight it has, the less speed it takes?

It will get stuck. The water is immovable for its SpeedType.

I understand. But what I mean is when it knocked into the water, why not make a feature that cause the unit sink (except amphibious)?
