Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/Vehicle.

burner or energy_source

Type: EnergySource
Must be a burner energy source when using "burner", otherwise it can also be a void energy source.

height

Type: float
The height of the spider affects the shooting height and the drawing of the graphics and lights.

chunk_exploration_radius

Type: uint32

movement_energy_consumption

Type: Energy

automatic_weapon_cycling

Type: bool

chain_shooting_cooldown_modifier

Type: float
This is applied whenever the spider shoots (manual and automatic targeting), automatic_weapon_cycling is true and the next gun in line (which is then selected) has ammo.
When all of the above is the case, the chain_shooting_cooldown_modifier is a multiplier on the remaining shooting cooldown: cooldown = (remaining_cooldown × chain_shooting_cooldown_modifier). chain_shooting_cooldown_modifier is intended to be in the range of 0 to 1. This means that setting chain_shooting_cooldown_modifier to 0 reduces the remaining shooting cooldown to 0 while a chain_shooting_cooldown_modifier of 1 does not affect the remaining shooting cooldown at all.

Optional properties

torso_rotation_speed

Type: float
Default: 1
The orientation of the torso of the spider affects the shooting direction and the drawing of the graphics and lights.

torso_bob_speed

Type: float
Default: 1
Cannot be negative.

trash_inventory_size

Type: ItemStackIndex
Default: 0
If set to 0 then the spider will not have a Logistics tab.

guns

Type: table of strings of prototype names
The guns this spider vehicle uses.
