Title: What is rank, from the units: ruleset, used for?
Post by: sable on April 11, 2023, 01:20:34 pm

As I understand the alienDeployments: ruleset uses the race's index rank value from 0-7, and the name of the unit in its inventory is its units: id string, so where does the rank string defined in alienRaces: come up or what is it used for?

1/ used for picking up weapons: terrorists cannot pick up weapons by default (they don't have hands)

2/ used for tracking kills in soldier diaries and award related commendations
