Try spawning this object every few seconds:

Civilian -> System -> RadiationFieldLarge

No idea if it works.

add waypoint at the place where you want the radiation field
give waypoint name radiationfield

go to scripts and name the script nuke1
and choose in if action true
[units]-> [spawn]-> spawn-- unnamed unit on a team at a waypoint

fill it in as followed
spawn unit of type'RadiationFieldLarge'on Team'teamPlyCivilian' at waypoint Waypoint'radiationfield'

and click OK

then choose
[scripting]-> [script]-> Enable Script

fill it in as followd
Enable Script 'nuke1 C'.

if you did it right you will see this script

*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Spawn unit of type 'RadiationFieldLarge' on Team 'teamPlyrCivilian' at waypoint Waypoint 'radiationfield'
Enable Script 'nuke1 C'.

if thats correct you copy your script nuke1 (the copy will be automatically named "nuke1 C"

edit this script as followed
open the tab if true action
select enable script "nuke1 C" and change it to "nuke1"

so if you have done it right you have 2 scripts
Named "nuke1" and "nuke1 C"

start game and check if its works :)

now it will spawn every frame a radiationfieldlarge (VERY LARGE :P)

Spawning it every frame is no good idea. It will cause a lot of lag.

You should spawn it shortly before the old one runs out.

That's 30 seconds FYI.

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

You need only 1 script in order to do this.

Just create a new script. Leave everything at default.

Just deselect "Deactivate upon success" and set the script to evaluate once per second.

Now spawn NAMED radiation fields at desired waypoint as script actions. Copy this line as often as you want for any radiation field that is supposed to be there.

As long as the radiation fields are NAMED they will never be spawned twice. Only once the last radiation field runs out the new field will be spawned.

Almost.

Spawn each radiation field with a unique name (like field01, fied02, field03....)

For that you have to use the script "Spawn -- named unit on a team at a waypoint".

Everything else is correct.

You are using the WRONG script on the screenshot.

Spawn them as a NAMED object on a NAMED waypoint, so you need to enter a name AND select the waypoint.

On the screenshot you try to spawn unnamed objects.

yeah unnamed works also 🙂

i have just 5 different fields and they all spawn one time and again and again and again so its not spawning as before with lag en 1 yellow spot on the map its just 1 field a time if it ends it spawns a new one :)

Maybe, just maybe consider listening to me. If you spawn unnamed fields, they WILL be spawned every second. So you will have 30 overlapping fields at every waypoint before the first one runs out. Besides the possible, very likely lag, the fields will also deal 30 times more damage than a single field.

Yeah thats what we had before so many fields that everything dies when passing the field but now infantry walks trough it and will have damage but not all infantry die only some damage so it's works perfect as unnamed

Thank you for helping with this problem

This is often exploited by competitive players, as nuke general, toxin general or vGLA with toxin shells can remove an anthrax bomb field by firing tank shells at the centre.

It is possible that this no longer happens when they are spawned every second. I haven't tested it but I was pretty sure that the same would happen.

A toxin field does damage every 0.5 seconds. By spawning them every frame, this happens:

The first frame, the first toxin field spawns and it will deal damage immediately. The next frame (~0.03 seconds later) another field will spawn, kill the first field, and then do it's own damage. The visual effects will linger slightly because toxin fields have a death animation. So when you spawn them every frame, you have a 0.03s delay between damage instead of 0.5s. That's much more damage, but any new field will kill old fields within the same frame they spawn in. The rapid spawning, despawning and effects may be the cause of the lag. When you set it to once every second all these problems are negligible.

I have coded genuine field stacking, and it looks awesome, and isn't laggy.

So by your logic spawning any field every frame causes 15 times the normal damage. And spawning any field every second causes normal damage.

Makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up.

Btw.. did you ever see these effects after you use the script action "Modify visual game time"? THAT looks awesome. But unfortunatly it is disabled in multiplayer games 😞

I have never used that script before. That sounds like a really laggy one though.

This is genuine field stacking BTW:

The left toxin field has 5 normal scud launchers all firing at the same spot. The right toxin field has 5 field stacking scud launchers all firing at the same spot.

I can upload an easy to install mini-mod if anyone wants to try it.
