WZ 3.1.1
How do I speed up only my builder trucks, on wheels and hovercraft by tweaking some files?
How to increase truck speed?

Do the researches for the engine upgrades.
Re: How to increase truck speed?
That's modding, not scripting.
There's a generic hardcoded formula (see betaguide) for droid speed, based on weight, propulsion, engine upgrades, terrain type and slope.
Now, wheeled and hover trucks already run at propulsion maximum speed (unless their body is chosen to be really heavy). It means that you can easily decrease truck speed by increasing turret weight in construction.txt, but you can't increase it without increasing propulsion max speed, and once you do, all other droids would run at different speed as well, and you'll never have them as they were, no matter what you tweak (eg. they should no longer be running at max speed, to be slower than trucks, so they'll start being affected by engine upgrades).
themac: i guess you realized by now that truck speed is not affected by engine upgrades (they're already at propulsion speed limit).

Re: How to increase truck speed?
So does it affect war units only? That was new to me. O.o
Re: How to increase truck speed?
Thats right (until python) also for half-tracks. For tracks engine upgrade makes a minimal change in speed. The first change for wheeled trucks begins on tiger-body.NoQ wrote:

In case the WZ-game ends in a draw , the game winner will be determined by penalty shoot-out.
Re: How to increase truck speed?
No.affect war units only
There exist both tanks that aren't affected by engine upgrades and trucks that are, depending on their body and propulsion.
