New Trap: Oil

[richard14110]

Trucks, VTOLs, Scavenger people, and cyborgs should have the ability to set gas traps, which have at least one effect:

1. When not flamed, the oil ruins the movement of any unit that steps on it (sliding/slipping).

2. Any flamer can attack the trap to ignite it and then any unit that touches it would suffer from extreme fire damage.

3. If there are other oil traps next to each other and if a flamethrower kindles one or more gas traps, then the rest would burn (like a chain of fire).

An oil trap that is not enflamed will stay. If the trap is on fire, the best method to avoid it would be to wait for it to vanish after a specific amount of time.

Anyone have any comments?

What we really need very badly is something like that.

several thngs: oil will leak into ground, or will form a small river and will run away.
You can't ignite an oil on the ground with a bullet shot or even explosion. you need special detonator.
unprepared oil do burn slowly, at low temperatures.
oil under the tank will stop burning because of lack of oxigen. (and center of that spot wll burn much slower than an edges)
So, you will spend tonns of oils for little or no damage. It does nto worth to do it even IRL.
flamers do the same thing, but much better, and there are a lot of different flamers, incendiary mortires, incendiary VTOL bombs, etc... use them.
