I've been working on a SCAR script which simulates tunnels.

Here's a video which demonstrates how it works:

with better quality on twitch

Following configuration can be used to set properties for a tunnel:
Code

points = {mkr_tunnel1_a, mkr_tunnel1_b}, 
travelTime = 5,
lockedToTeam = "both",
simultaneousTransport = true,
lockForTeamDuringTransport = true,
allowInfantry = true,
allowVehicles = false,


The configuration should be self-explanatory.

Downloads:
Second Release:
Example map, .sgb
Example map, .sga

First Release (outdated):
Example map, .sga
Example map, .sgb (source files)

See the .sgb map in WorldBuilder to get an idea how it's done. Make sure to have a backup of the code, in case you are doing your own testings.

I will write a tutorial about this later.

As long as the tunnels are relatively short I really like the idea.

Janne on the cutting edge of CoH :P

Any way to make these buildable? GLA tunnels would be a very interesting gameplay mechanic (not implying that having tunnels pre-placed on the map wouldn't have a very large impact on gameplay, because they would).

If the setting of the map is "right" it can be a really neat way of moving from one point to an other, like using a tunnel network to connect two trench networks

To make that properly it would require modding.

Really nice, now if you can only make working bridge that can be traveled underneath. :)

With this system you can! They would just teleport though.

Janne, I have a perfect map for this. With the right territory cut-off, this could make a really nice strategic element.

correct me if i'm wrong, but this will remove units from control groups, and it will respawn full health squads right? i guess you could save upgrades/vet, not sure about individual entity hp though...
well, now that i think of it, that should probably be possible too, i guess... don't think you can save the control groups though, can you?

This does not work that way. The squad is never lost, it's just hidden during the transport. Control Groups and everything are preserved.

I could save individual entity heaths as well if I would have to permanently remove the squad from the map. I did this in my CheatCommands Mod Copy & Paste function. It literally copied EVERYTHING.

Second Release:
Example map, .sgb
Example map, .sga

  • Improved squad facing
    • Squads will now always face the exit of tunnel after transportation

  • Control Groups now persist

Theoretically yes. I could scan for the health of a tunnel door. If it's 0, tunnel will be out of order.

No, it will not remove any stats. This system only sets the squad invisible during the transport, to simulate the tunnel. The squad coming out of the end of the tunnel is exactly the same as the one going in. NOTHING has changed.

Could it works by only creating a stamp from your example map?

Hey Janne, I thought this! would be an nice addition to try in my custom map, But I cant seem to get that RED scar code writing to stop when play testing my map. I'm very new to Scar coding, can you tell me what line in the code that's causing the red writing (like in your video example.) Or how to make it stop? Other than that! he tunnels work great!!!
