Title: How to encourage alien iconoclasm?
Post by: Kilkakon on June 24, 2018, 11:02:29 am

Hi there folks,

I'm trying to get the aliens to shoot at terrain features that I've put in one of the regular terrains. I've marked the relevant objects with "XCom_Base" flag in MCDEdit and set some of the waypoints around the items to be "Attack Base" 5 in MapView.

I've tried a few times in Quick Battle to watch the aliens in debug mode (with me staying in the sub) and they seem completely disinterested in destroying the terrain features I mentioned.

Is there something I'm missing?

Oh, hard coded behaviour? That sucks, but good to know, thanks.
