Yeah, maybe it will be better to find, if we make it a featured mod

Those categories are used only for triggering specific adjacency buffs, other than that they perform no functional role.

What does SIZE4 or SIZE16 mean in a unit's categories ?

Well the sound itself comes from the T4 Battleship from the base game (uas0401). I'll check n the hierarchy thx

Did you try with another weapon sound ? if it plays simple, it comes from the sound itself. Otherwise, it is called twice.

If it is called twice, it must be called twice from the from the derivative subclass system. You need to follow the inheritance hierarchy...to find the double call...WeaponClassscript -> factionclassweapon script->individualunitClassEcript.

Sorry to ask this here but there is no topic for Experimental Wars.

The Aeon experimental point defense uab2310 makes a very annoying noise, the fire sound is played twice per shot, and I didn't find out why. When I comment this sound effect in the blueprint, there is no fire sound at all (just wanted to make sure that it was this sound effect that was played twice and not 2 separate ones).

Code:: #Fire = Sound { #Bank = 'UASWeapon', #Cue = 'UAS0401_Cannon_Oblivion', #LodCutoff = 'WeaponBig_LodCutoff', #},

Do you have any idea ?

Whenever a weapon generates an OnGotTarget event, it will begin to turn and face the target

The ability of a weapon to generate this event is related to several things;

- the target must be either seen or on radar (blip)
- the target must be on a layer that the weapon is allowed to target (see FireTargetLayerCapsTable)
- the target must be of a category that the weapon is allowed to target (see TargetRestrictDisallow/TargetRestrictAllow)
- the target must be within the tracking radius (this allows the weapon to begin tracking before it's in firing range - see TrackingRadius)

There are some other factors that will affect when the weapon starts firing - such as FiringTolerance - and of course, some of these requirements are overridden when you manually target something.

As for the unit (as opposed to the weapon) turning when attacking an enemy, there is the weapon variable;

- AutoInitiateAttackCommand which will cause the unit to execute an attack order on the enemy unit that this weapon is targeted on

The above feature is what often causes some units to go 'wandering' on their own without direct orders from the player.

and in the AI block of the unit blueprint;

- AttackAngle (which will cause a unit to assume a posture when firing at an enemy - used mostly by large naval vessels)

What part of the blueprint tells a unit to turn towards the target's position when it fires ? ^^

Also I edited a point defense but it doesn't attack automatically

Code:: BluePrint.Categories = RemoveItemFromArray('BUILTBYCOMMANDER',BluePrint.Categories) function RemoveItemFromArray(REMOVEME,ARRAY) zold = 1 while ARRAY[zold] do if ARRAY[zold] == REMOVEME then table.remove(ARRAY, zold) else zold = zold + 1 end end return ARRAY end

Do you know how I can remove a 'BUILTBYCOMMANDER' attribute from a base game unit ?

For now I hook the blueprints with 'merge' I guess I should erase and rewwrite the whole file or something like that

Found this error message inside "formations.lua" line 1468
I am not sure if this is the right one, because the text is slight different.

Code:: LOG('*FORMATION DEBUG: Unit ' .. u:GetUnitId() .. ' does not match any ' .. type .. ' categories.')

Just a guess, the categories.NAVAL is missing inside the unitblueprint.

Newer saw an error message like "This unit doesn't match any naval category". Maybe just a check message from Hussars Unitanalyzer ?

To sort the Icons use this inside an Unit Blueprint:

Code:: BuildIconSortPriority = 25,
