[Ares Enhancement]Customize Inhibitors and Designators

[NetsuNegi]

Custom affected houses for Ares' Inhibitor and Designator

• In Ares, only enemies inhibitors and selfowned designators are eligible. Now you can customize it.
• This is independent from Custom Inhibitor and Designator Type introduced by Phobos.

In rulesmd.ini:

[SOMESW]                        ; SuperWeaponType
SW.Inhibitors.Houses=enemies    ; List of Affected House Enumeration (none|owner/self|allies/ally|team|enemies/enemy|all)
SW.Designators.Houses=owner     ; List of Affected House Enumeration (none|owner/self|allies/ally|team|enemies/enemy|all)

Custom Super Weapon Signal Type

• It's now possible to define Inhibitor and Designator properties in a Super Weapon Signal Type, which allows more customization than Ares' Inibitors and Designators.
• Range determines the radius of the Inhibitor and Designator effects. Default to the attached techno's Sight if not set.
• Affects determines the affected house of the Inhibitor and Designator effects. Default to enemies if it's used as an Inhibitor, and owner if it's Designator.
• Powered determines whether or not the effect is rendered inactive if the object it is attached to is deactivated (PoweredUnit or affected by EMP) or on low power.
  • Notice that it's different from Ares' behavior, which always checks if the building is on low power for Inhibitor, and doesn't check EMP.
• StopInTemporal determines whether or not the effect is rendered inactive if the object is being warped out by a Temporal=yes warhead.
• SW.InhibitTypes determines the Super Weapon Signals that'll act as an Inhibitor for this super weapon, which prevent it to be launched in this area.
• SW.DesignateTypes determines the Super Weapon Signals that'll act as an Designator for this super weapon, which only allow it to be launched in this area.
• InhibitTypes and DesignateTypes determine the Super Weapon Signals a techno owned, which make it an Inhibitor/Designator to super weapons with corresponding SW.Inhibit/DesignateTypes.
• This allow a techno to own multiple Inhibitor and Designator effects towards different super weapons, rather than limited to one for all super weapons.

• InhibitType and DesignateType can be used to grant a super weapon signal which can act as Inhibitor and Designator for the attached object.

In rulesmd.ini:

[AttachEffectTypes]
InhibitType=                                       ; SuperWeaponSignalType
DesignateType=                                     ; SuperWeaponSignalType
