Flying units can't into melee?
« on: August 07, 2014, 01:27:21 am »
I made this large flying unit, using the Hallucinoid drawroutine (12).
I just doesn't attack. Is it because it flies?
Besides the strict necessary (size-related stuff), all its stats and attributes are copypasted from another melee unit, which DOES attack normally (even with less TUs).

I also noticed that melee has changed. All melee "built-in" weapons have accuracy 100 instead of 80 (and the units too have meleeskill 100, instead of 80), "power:" is missing, and "strengthapplied: true" is there. Is there an explanation around?

your race string doesn't correlate to the weapon string. remove the L in the weapon.

all use "STR_SPITTER_WEAPON" as weapon, instead of their own intended one?

I changed the chryssalid to flying units, and destroyed my tank in the air.
Then must be a error in your units or the code.
