Warhead Change - no Auto-Attack anymore - Guest - 27.10.2009

Hi folks!

I recently changed the Verses in the Warhead of the Guardian GI, from
Verses=20%,20%,20%,100%,50%,100%,10%,10%,10%,100%,100% to Verses=25%,25%,25%,100%,100%,100%,25%,25%,25%,100%,100%.

Since this change, the GGI doesn't autofire anything with light, medium or heavy armor anymore, only infantry. If a group of tanks stands right next to GGIs, the tanks can pick their targets in the very front of them, because only after getting a hit, one fires.

This is a bit strange to me; after having made surely over 50 verses changes, I never got something like this, that a techtype stops autoattacking an specifig armor type (or in this case, 3 armor types).

Thx in Advance

Which warhead is this? Primary or Secondary? Show the code for the unit, all its weapons, warheads, etc.

I'd say, this is the related code.

Interesting... I'll assume they're deployed when the autotargeting fails? There's an internal flag set after parsing a warhead that indicates if this warhead has 0% verses against medium and steel armors (don't ask me why the fuck that's needed), it seems to only be checked when infantry is picking automatic targets, and will mark non-infantry objects as untargetable. I have no idea why it would trip up here and if it's at all related, but that's the only damn thing I can see that specifically checks medium verses on hardcoding level... Sorry.

I might try to reproduce this over the weekend, when I have time to mess with the code, until then, I have no explanations. Try to revert that medium/100% to 50% and test? Does this can't-target-unit restriction also affect aircraft? Buildings? TDrones? CMisls?
