Ripple Rocket Battery wall connection #1612

Closed maxsupermanhd closed 3 years ago

On 3.4.1 release Ripple Rockets were connecting to walls fine forming a shield that were abusing trajectory of opponent's Battery and thus taking damage instead of Ripple Rockets, this was very useful and was treated as an intended mechanic that increased Battery lifespan. 3.4.1: 3.4.1 When we were testing 4.0.0 beta 1 and other master snapshots we found walls no longer connectable with Ripple Rocket Battery because of commit 9b82d3c9 "Add new key-value pair to structure stats to determine if walls combine to them." by KJeff01 at Thu Dec 10 12:37:57 2020 -0600 (yeah it took us a bit to notice). 4.0.0 beta 1: 4.0.0 beta 1 Should we bring back wall connection for them or Ripple Rocket cells will be dead in next version? I, personally, think that it is regression and should be returned back.

From the art side this looks right. Walls should be connected only to other wall-like structures. The world is changing, you know, may be you should find another strategy for ripple rockets? :D

The wall continues to protect the buildings behind it. https://youtu.be/5HFseZDBeyQ?t=67
