Coding Required for the Warp Cores

[tofuman64]

I am REALLY interested in how the warp cores were coded into legions. Could a dev, preferably a coder, fill me in?

Look at coresHud.gui

 

[Volt Cruelerz]

coresHud.gui contains the functions which operates the hud element, not the core itself. cores.cs has more what you're looking for

Where is cores.cs?

cores.cs is alot of the logic for how it gets used and where art gets called. Triad exposed variables to players , the meat of it however is in the engine. It is logging every player who has a warp core postition/velocity every .2 seconds.

ahh thats what i suspected it to be. Does that place any considerable overhead on ticking?

From my experience, as a modder that used a few looping functions in my tribes2 mods.
I say no, unless some how everyone on a large server with a crap load of players used it at the same time.
Only way to find out I guess, is to get a bunch of players on, have them all use it at the same time..

Step one for creating a replay system?

The replay system is in fact in the game. However the playback instantly crashes on load so that is a slight issue.
