Shock Wave Flag

The Shock Wave (SW) flag fires a spherical blast originating from the center of the tank, destroying any tank inside (other than the one who fired it). It penetrates solid objects, but is not affected by teleporters (meaning, it will not travel through to the linked teleporter).

Tactics

Due to the short range of the weapon, getting close to the opponent is a must. It can, however, kill players above or below, so this can be used to kill enemies that are at a different elevation. A common strategy is to avoid firing until close so that an enemy isn't aware of the threat until it is too late.

Shock Wave can kill burrowed tanks, tanks that have entered buildings using Oscillation Overthruster, or Phantom Zone tanks that have passed into the other dimension. It's also very good at killing teammate, so watch out for friendly fire.

Server Settings

• _shockAdLife

  The amount of time in seconds a Shock Wave lasts.

• _shockInRadius

  The starting radius of a Shock Wave in world units. A negative value will result in a Shock Wave to first shrink and then expand.

• _shockOutRadius

  The outer radius of the Shock Wave in world units. If this value is greater than _shockInRadius, the Shock Wave expands outward; if the value is less than _shockInRadius, the Shock Wave will start big and shrink inward.

• _spawnSafeSWMod

  The minimum distance in world units that is considered a "safe distance" away from tanks with Shock Wave when calculating spawn locations.
