The two announcements

Section titled “The two announcements”

An electromagnetic pulse satisfies the event on each object it catches, and What a pulse reaches lists those objects. Among infantry, a pulse catches only a cyborg. These caught objects satisfy the event without being stunned:

  • an object whose type is immune, such as one with ImmuneToEMP=yes; the pulse leaves it unaffected;
  • an aircraft caught off the ground whose type is not immune; it crashes;
  • a limpet mine; the pulse destroys it.

A Webby=yes warhead satisfies the event on each infantry it pins. Vehicles, aircraft and structures are never pinned and do not satisfy the event. Infantry whose type sets IsWebImmune=yes is not pinned either: it takes the hit as ordinary damage and does not satisfy the event.

Caveats
  • The tag has to be on the object that is caught. Nothing offers this event to a cell tag.
  • Each pulse or web that catches the object satisfies the event again.
  • The event is never [remembered](/systems/trigger-springing/#remembering-a-satisfied-event). On a persistent tag, a trigger that pairs it with other events fires only when a pulse or web arrives while those events are satisfied or already remembered.
