Default: 2.0
Applicable to: CombatDamage

Logic related to HomingScatter, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.



Defined in the CombatDamage section, this specifies the maximum distance in cells that inaccurate arcing projectiles will scatter.

Red Alert

A projectile is inaccurate if it has Inaccurate=yes set, or it has been fired by a unit on the move. A projectile is also inaccurate if it is targeting a cell or infantry with either the warhead AP or a warhead with Ranged=yes.

If Arcing=yes, the projectile's facing will be altered slightly and the target is scattered up to HomingScatter cells in a random direction.

Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2

Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 both read HomingScatter, but the value is not used.
