Need help. How edit footprints? Flags=IgnoreStructures

[paxton676]

In original game I could edit a file called footprints.lua so that all units ignored structures, not just experimentals. I like having all units ignore structures when I watch cheating AI that way units get out of the base faster.

Anyone know how to do this in FAF? If so, please explain.

My edited footprints.lua looked like this,

SpecFootprints {

{ Name = 'Vehicle1x1', SizeX=1, SizeZ=1, Caps=LAND, MaxWaterDepth=0.05, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Vehicle2x2', SizeX=2, SizeZ=2, Caps=LAND, MaxWaterDepth=0.05, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Vehicle5x5', SizeX=5, SizeZ=5, Caps=LAND, MaxWaterDepth=0.05, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },

{ Name = 'Amphibious1x1', SizeX=1, SizeZ=1, Caps=LAND|SEABED, MaxWaterDepth=25, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Amphibious3x3', SizeX=3, SizeZ=3, Caps=LAND|SEABED, MaxWaterDepth=25, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Amphibious6x6', SizeX=6, SizeZ=6, Caps=LAND|SEABED, MaxWaterDepth=25, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },

{ Name = 'WaterLand1x1', SizeX=1, SizeZ=1, Caps=LAND|WATER, MaxWaterDepth=1, MinWaterDepth=0.1, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'WaterLand2x2', SizeX=2, SizeZ=2, Caps=LAND|WATER, MaxWaterDepth=1, MinWaterDepth=0.1, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'WaterLand3x3', SizeX=3, SizeZ=3, Caps=LAND|WATER, MaxWaterDepth=5, MinWaterDepth=0, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'WaterLand5x5', SizeX=5, SizeZ=5, Caps=LAND|WATER, MaxWaterDepth=5, MinWaterDepth=0, MaxSlope=0.75, Flags=IgnoreStructures },

{ Name = 'SurfacingSub2x2', SizeX=2, SizeZ=2, Caps=SUB|WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'SurfacingSub3x3', SizeX=3, SizeZ=3, Caps=SUB|WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'SurfacingSub4x4', SizeX=4, SizeZ=4, Caps=SUB|WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'SurfacingSub12x12', SizeX=12, SizeZ=12, Caps=SUB|WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },

{ Name = 'Water1x1', SizeX=1, SizeZ=1, Caps=WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Water3x3', SizeX=3, SizeZ=3, Caps=WATER, MinWaterDepth=0.25, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Water4x4', SizeX=4, SizeZ=4, Caps=WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Water6x6', SizeX=6, SizeZ=6, Caps=WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Water8x8', SizeX=8, SizeZ=8, Caps=WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
{ Name = 'Water11x11', SizeX=11, SizeZ=11, Caps=WATER, MinWaterDepth=1.5, Flags=IgnoreStructures },
}

Nevermind, I figured it out. It wasn't working because FAF uses a white list and I was using my own personally named .scd file. I got around it by backing up and replacing the original footprints.lua in the mohodata.scd.

you shouldnt do that. modifying original game files will cause desyncs. this should be pretty easy to make into a sim mod and just load it like that

I see what you are saying but I don't know how to make a mod, even a simple one. The only reason I knew how to edit the footprints is that I asked in the GPG forums years ago how to make all units ignore structures.

Thank you. This means learning and work for me but thats how it goes. However, if any experienced modders want to make it for me would be much appreciated.
