Request for Parallax set at 100 to ignore weapons

[RPC]

Previously if I had set a planet's parallax to 100 it would ignore all weapons and allowed them to pass through but in 1.2 RC2 it sends the planet image back to the playing parallax and blocks weapons again. I'd like to move functionality back to the previous behavior and maybe add some sort of special parallax to move a space object back into the playing field. I'd suggest something like:
(ObjSetProperty planetEntry 'parallax 'Field)
that way it would go back to being in the playing field and block shots while setting it to some other number would remove the 'field attribute.

I would prefer adding a new property:

Code: Select all

(objSetProperty planetEntry 'canBeHit nil)

An out-of-plane planet (parallax != 100) would still be immune to weapons, but this would allow you to set in-plane-objects as effectively transparent.

It's a little risky for 1.2, but I will add it to a post 1.2 release.

Okay, I think 'canBeHit is a better solution.
It would make sense to separate parallax and being hit by weapons fire. (read: It would be cool to have stations in a different parallax being able to be hit by weapons/ avoid weapons fire selectively).
