Armor

INI reference·Enums·ArmorType

Armor classes used when warheads calculate their effectiveness against a target.

Engine enum

ArmorType

Input form

Named token

Armor names are matched without regard to case. A mod cannot add a sixth class. How much damage a warhead deals to each class is set by that warhead’s Verses list, which has one entry per class in the order shown above.

The wood class is also tested outside Verses. A Wood=yes warhead can reduce a wall overlay whose class is wood, and only a terrain object whose class is wood can catch fire. Armor covers both.

Check the spelling of armor names

A misspelled armor name is not rejected. It reads as none, an ordinary class, so every warhead scales its damage to the type by the first entry of that warhead’s Verses list.
