Unit Ready

Adds 3 (+1.5 more in config) new survivors, Tesla Trooper, Desolator, and Chrono Legionnaire

Based on their respective units from Red Alert 2, but with SkeletorChampion coming in and saying "nah I'm model them to fit RoR2, and look awesome, and my dong is enormous".

Anything you'd like to say about the guys, ping me (thetimesweeper) on the ror2 modding discord or the enforcer discord (https://discord.gg/r5XTMFd4W7).

uh Tesla Trooper mod?

Now that there's more Red Alert characters I'm reuploading the mod under a new name. sorry bout any inconveniences. on the bright side this opens the door for all kinds of Red Alert content in the coming years maybe.
Yes I have a lot of ideas but no I won't have time for them anytime soon. here's to hoping I suppose.

I Initially planned this release to include a lot more content and sprucing up for Tesla and Deso to celebrate, but welcome Seekers of the Storm update so here's the wip. have fun love ya

2.2.4

• fixed desolator scepter forever
  • completely removed the troublesome part of desolator's special code and replaced it with jank
  • but jank that shouldn't fail anymore

2.2.3

2.2.2

• fixed Tesla Trooper Surging Forward while rooted locking you in purgatory

2.2.1

• forgot to update text to the changes of last patch woops

2.2.0

• tesla trooper
  • passive: ally buff multiplier 1.3 -> 1.1
  • passive: ally buff shock duration 1 - 3.5
  • secondary (empowered): 1200% -> 1500%
    • He gets a lot of feedback that he's very strong, this may surprise you, because he also gets a lot of feedback that he's weak.
    • I suspect a giant culprit is those people don't know to buff the tower before using secondary, missing out on a lot of his potential damage (1200% * 1.3 = 1560%)
    • These changes remove this aspect from being a necessity, in exchange buffing a bit of its utility when you do decide to use it
    • If you liked that aspect, configs will come at some point so you can revert these changes
  • primary: animation plays on each bolt
    • as well as the tower aspect, I suspect the people are also missing out on tripling close-range primary damage. more feedback on doing multiple hits should help with this.
  • Utility: sound now plays when absorbing damage, increasing in pitch based on damage absorbed
    • thanks rob for the suggestion. I agree with all your others as well so they'll come at some point
    • except except when you said it does a whole lot of nothing. late game it's a free 1800% with a giant aoe ya goon
  • secondary (empowered): now commands Starstorm 2 Shock Drones as well
  • fix potential nullref spam on tracking component
• Desolator
  • fixed a bug where sceptered special reverts to regular special after using it
    • I assume. I could not reproduce it so if it still happens to you, let me know and give a log
  • he'll get some more love I promise

• fixed tower blocking its own projectiles, mainly ATG missiles

1.1.1 buncha tweaks

• ally zap no longer does damage, fixing pennies exploit
• zapping allies with m1 now ends the move earlier
  • so accidentally hitting allies doesn't eat up a full duration m1
• m1 zap now travels instantly
• slightly lowered m1 attack duration
  • not enough to affect any balance concerns, just to hopefully feel a little smoother

1.1.0

• Added proper Mastery skin, complete with a unique tower

• Added Scepter Upgrade
  • but by accident I did exactly lysate cell, so I'm open to any better ideas
• Limited lysate cell to 1 additional tower, similar to engi
  • stacking simultaneous towers turned out way too strong for a green rarity item
