Created page with "One of the principal characteristics of any terrain is passability, i.e. how well units can traverse it. In {{td}}, terrain tiles were simply either passable or not. In {{ra}}..."

New page

One of the principal characteristics of any terrain is passability, i.e. how well units can traverse it. In {{td}}, terrain tiles were simply either passable or not. In {{ra}}, this system was expanded significantly. Different [[TMP|tiles]] could now affect the [[Speed|speed]] of different [[TechnoTypes|units]] at different rates. This attribute is managed by '''LandTypes'''.

LandTypes are essentially different types of terrain. Every terrain [[TMP|tile]] has a parameter linking it to a specific LandType.

The available LandTypes are as follows:
{|class="wikitable"
!LandType
|[[Image:Game_ra_yes.png]]
|[[Image:Game_ts_yes.png]]
|[[Image:Game_ra2_yes.png]]
|-
|Clear
|✓
|✓
|✓
|-
|Rough
|✓
|✓
|✓
|-
|Road
|✓
|✓
|✓
|-
|Water
|✓
|✓
|✓
|-
|Rock
|✓
|✓
|✓
|-
|Wall
|✓
|✓

|-
|Ore
|✓
|
|
|-
|Tiberium
|
|✓

|Beach
|✓

|-
|River
|✓
|

|Ice

|Tunnel

|✓
|-
|Railroad
|
|✓
|✓
|-
|Weeds
|
|✓
|✓
|-
|Cliff
|
|
|✓
|}

In addition to unit speeds, LandType governs whether [[Buildable|buildings can be constructed on the terrain or not]].

Each LandType has it's own section in {{ini|rules}}, setting up its defining characteristics:
[Clear]
Foot=100%<ref>Any percentage exceeding 100% is ignored; 200% will have the same effect as 100%.</ref>
Track=100%
Wheel=100%
Float=0% <ref>If value of {{f|Float|link}} {{f|SpeedType|link}} is above 0%, the LandType is also affected by {{f|WaterBound|link}}.</ref>
;the following are not available in {{ra}}:
Hover=50%
Amphibious=80%
[[Buildable]]=yes
Creep=100% ;only available in {{fs}}
FloatBeach=0% ;only available in {{ra2}} and {{yr}}
The numbers indicate at what percent of its [[speed]] can units with a matching {{f|SpeedType|link}} move over this terrain. In this example, units with {{f|SpeedType|Hover|link}}, for instance, can move only up to half their normal {{f|Speed|link}} over [[TMP#tiles|tiles]] with this LandType.

== Notes ==
*You can make [[OverlayTypes|overlays]] which, when placed, transform the ground (technically) to any type mentioned above. To do that, use the {{f|Land|<terrain type name>|link}} tag on the overlay rules coding.
*{{f|Winged|link}} can not be modified in the LandType section (i.e. ''Winged=80%'' would not work).
