Shockwave is a shot type which projects a death sphere starting at the position the user fired it. It will kill all tanks that the field hits, but not the tank that fired it. This spherical field can travel through all materials and meshes such as buildings and scenery
Shockwave can be acquired as weapon from a flag or as a world weapon.
It can be used as a world weapons by setting the type for the world weapon as "SW"
Shockwave is one of the strongest superflags. However, because this flag sports only short range destruction, it can be easily countered by longer range attacks. Shockwave can destroy tanks in Phantom Zone and tanks with Oscillation Overthruster hiding inside buildings.
Shockwave Variables
Server Variables that control behavior of shockwave:
| Name | Default | Description |
| _shockAdLife | 0.2 | How long a shockwave lasts. |
| _shockInRadius | _tankLength | The starting radius of the shockwave. Negative values will make the shockwave shrink and expand. |
| _shockOutRadius | 60 | The outer radius of the shockwave. If greater than _shockInRadius, the shockwave expands outward. If less than _shockInRadius, the shockwave starts big and shrinks inward. |
