ok, i managed to get all units shooting at long ranges on the ground (previously some units wouldnt do this due to a missing entry in the behaviour tag)

 

ive now run into a new problem.

 

 

all units can fire at range now, but only when they are settled in position.

 

if i give certain kinds of infantry an attack order, they will run right up to the target and fire away. i am CONFUGGLED.

 

ill attach the groundinfantry file so you can take a look, - youll notice the problem immediatley with rebel infantry and stormtroopers.

 

any advice would be appreciated.

I don't know off hand, but remember that CONTAINERS.XML, GROUNDCOMPANIESEMPIRE and GROUNDCOMPANIESREBEL both contain infantry data. I'd check those for posible conflicts.

It's the containers file. Compare:

 

Container.xml team entry for stormtroopers:

 

REVEAL, LAND_TEAM_CONTAINER_LOCOMOTOR, TEAM_TARGETING

 

companies.xml stormtrooper entry:

 

DUMMY_GROUND_COMPANY

 

I'd say the AI is done by team, not company, which of course makes sense. It's the smallest unit that makes "decisions."

yep, its simply the ranges in the containers that breaks things for a handfull of units.

 

 

everything is now working and the star wars ground control mod is well under way
