A railgun beam damages an object when the object’s center is closer to the beam than this distance. The distance is in leptons, 256 to a cell, and is measured straight out from the line between the muzzle and the target’s center.
[CombatDamage]RailgunDamageRadius=256 ; catches centers less than one cell from the beam lineOnly units, infantry, aircraft and structures in the cells the beam passes through are measured. The cell the beam starts in, usually the firer’s own, is never checked, and a cell whose corner the beam only clips can be missed. An object in a cell beside the beam is never caught, however large the value. Raising the value therefore catches more of the objects that share a crossed cell with the beam, such as infantry standing near a cell’s edge.
Two victims are caught at any distance from the line. A structure in a cell the beam crosses is caught whenever this value is above 0. The unit, infantry, aircraft or structure the shot was aimed at is caught whatever this value. IsRailgun covers the damage every victim takes.
When rising ground stops the beam before the target, no object takes beam damage, whatever this value.
