Radar / Power Outage warhead

[WingHwy]

• Now you can use the following tags to make the warhead cause a radar or power outage to the affected houses for a specified duration.
• RadarOutage disables the radar display (identical to a Lightning Storm), while PowerOutage causes a blackout (identical to spy infiltration on a Power Plant).
• If Duration is positive, it stacks onto the current outage timer, unless Cap is negative — then the effect does not stack and only the longest single duration is kept.
• If Duration is negative, it reduces the current outage timer.
• When Cap is positive, it acts as a ceiling for stacking or a floor for reduction.
• Setting Cap to 0 with a negative Duration removes the outage entirely.
• The final duration never goes below zero.

In rulesmd.ini:

[SOMEWARHEAD]                     ; WarheadType
RadarOutage.Duration=0            ; integer, game frames
RadarOutage.Cap=0                 ; integer
RadarOutage.AffectsHouse=enemies  ; Affected House Enumeration (none|owner/self|allies/ally|team|enemies/enemy|all)
PowerOutage.Duration=0            ; integer, game frames
PowerOutage.Cap=0                 ; integer
PowerOutage.AffectsHouse=enemies  ; Affected House Enumeration (none|owner/self|allies/ally|team|enemies/enemy|all)

Is it possible to use this feature so that a spy enters a Spysat and turns it off for a certain time, losing map visibility for the player?

Okay, got it. Thanks for correcting me.

Do you mean turning off the radar screen (like a Lightning Storm), or literally removing the map reveal so everything goes back to black fog? Our RadarOutage feature only does the first one. If you need the full map vision removed, that would require a different approach, such as triggering a Create Gap effect or adding a new tag to disable SpySat – maybe something we can suggest for a future update.

@DeathFishAtEase for what reason?

[DeathFishAtEase]

I think I mistakenly thought that "losing map visibility" was also part of the PR's planned content, so I added that label. As it currently appears, it might not be necessary.

Renamed RadarOutage.Max / PowerOutage.Max to Cap and switched to Helpers::Alex::getCappedDuration, adding support for non‑stacking mode and reduction floors via the Cap value while preserving the existing stacking behavior.
