[h2]Stage 2 Chelsey WIP[/h2]




Ever since we heard some feedback regarding the stiffness of our units/animations we have been hard at work finding a solution. We are now working on implementing a better RIG and Animation Blueprint to give us even more control including starting to utilize a Mocap suit to really make these animations shine as we work towards 1.0. Here's a quick preview of what we have in store for you folks in the coming weeks via a total animation revamp.

[h2] Patch Notes - 0.7.58 [/h2]

• Walls taking damage sfx implementation
  
• Logistics trucks for refueling and transporting player units(Building Icon will be updated next patch sharing the JLTV icon on the motor pool)
  
• Rappelling animations added for when you drop the rope from the Sparrow(Further polish is coming)
  
• Boosted ammo+medical truck radii
  =Made sure that (due to the new ammobox settings) the ammo truck and ammobox also restore ammo to player vehicles
  
• Ensured that Chelsey doesn't destroy a building's ability to restore ammo just by walking by
  
• Added some safeties to accessing 'MyGarrison' after another crash report from the main discord.
  
• Vehicle Engines SFX Volume adjustments
  
• Polish to Little bird mounted animations for CERC Units so they look correct when shooting mounted
  
• Swapped out the Sparrow's Pilot to the Pilot mesh (instead of the scout car driver mesh)
  
• Started on 'crash' logic for Sparrow, on death
  =When Helicopters die while in air, they will ragdoll for 3 seconds, then blow up
  =They will 'dump garrison' on death or destruction if anything's left in garrison
  =The 'dump garrison' call in Death/Destroyed for vehicles now will damage units by 30% of their max health if it's called during Death/Destruction of the vehicle
  
• Fixed up some subwindow updating to ensure RefillAmmo is still available for vehicles alongside the radio
  
• Added an ammobox to the Motorpool that will resupply vehicles only
  
• Fixed up Chelsey's damage resist so it'd be a bit simpler, and so any damage dealt to her that would take her under 80% of her max health would be reduced to 1 damage (if you lack Shredder rounds)
  
• Added new logic to the horde 'cleanup' logic to make it more stable (for horde mode, and for hordes in general)
  
• Cleaned up some civilian mission stuff for the horde mission:
  
• Mission will auto-clear when all civvies are dead or rescued
  
• Mission now grants a reward based on the number of civvies saved, and how far we are in the game
  
• Mission has a clear and separate time limit
  
• Added a 'Skip Countdown' button for the horde mode
  
• Fixed a crash with HordeControllers potentially trying to create a HordeSphere while PendingKill()
  
• Fixed an issue w/ Pandemic tutorial not properly clearing from HUD
