How Does Cover Work?

I'm not sure how does cover work and how do I mod it. For example I see in ebps in gameplay > designer_objects > objects > 2x4_light_cover_light_crush, if I change armor from 5 to 50, it will give that armor to infantry behind it?
Do I basically have to change one by one the armor of heavy, medium and light cover objects?

I see there's more objects in the environment folder.

That armor value is the armor of that object itself. The cover is actually set in each entity (soldier). The 2x4_light_cover_light_crush only says it's cover type is "tp_light". The soldier in "ebps" has "cover_ext" and within also the "tp_light", which contains the real modifiers. So you have to change the modifiers in there for all soldiers one by one.

So it's in the entity that I have to change the cover value. Great! thanks for the answer!

Safety_Value can't go higher than 0.5!

You can put an "apply_modifiers_action" in the actions within the cover_ext.

The safety value is purely for pathing/squad-ai, and has no effect on gameplay. If you want to change the damage each weapon does to other things in cover, you have to do it in the weapon attrib.

SneakEye you mean in the tp_heavy to give it apply_modifiers_action > modifiers, here I give it received_damage_modifier or armor_modifier?
Lugie what I mentioned above is another way to do it I suppose?

It depends on what you want.
- Armor means that the enemy's weapon will or will not penetrate/do damage.
- Received_damage will apply after the penetration is calculated and modifies the damage it self.

Example of the armor modifier:

SHOUT IT OUT!

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
