WebDurationVariation

The number of frames the web duration is shifted at random in either direction.

Specification

Applies to: WarheadType
File: rules.ini
Section: [<ObjectType ID>]
Value: integer
When omitted: 25

Each webbed soldier draws a whole number between minus and plus this figure, inclusive, and that shift is added to WebDuration. The built-in 25 therefore spreads a web across a range of just over three seconds, which is what keeps a group of soldiers caught by one shot from breaking loose together. A figure of 0 gives every soldier the same wait.

[MyWebWH] ; example WarheadType
Webby=yes
Particle=MyWebSys ; example ParticleSystemType
WebDuration=600
WebDurationVariation=90 ; each soldier waits 34 to 46 seconds

The sign makes no difference: the two ends of the range are put in order before the draw, so a negative figure behaves exactly as its positive counterpart.

The setting is read only while Webby=yes stands in the same section.
