[/u]Now some of you may have seen the infamous "Magnetron pulling while moving around" that can only be done by the AI. It occasionally spawns Internal Errors as well - it has happened to me once because the MagBeam was streched about 25 cells long.
Anyway, it's Westwood's fault:
; Magnetron
[TELE]
UIName=Name:Magnetron
Name=Magnetron
;Image=V3
...
...
Size=6
OpportunityFire=yes
ElitePrimary=MagneticBeamE
Bunkerable=no; Units default to yes, others default to no
CanPassiveAquire=no ; Won't try to pick up own targets ;GEF don't want him accidently attacking your own guys
If this is already known, then forgive me for this post. While this flag has no effect on humans playing the game because they cannot "walk and pull" at the same time, the AI can, and causes bugginess... sometimes the range of the MagBeam goes up to 20+ cells. A good idea would be to comment it out. (The section of rulesmd.ini copied exactly as it was from MooMan's virgin .ini)
