Fort able to redeploy?

Post by StuccoFresco »

Hi all, I have a problem: a "fort" custom unit I've created seems able to redeploy via trains. Its Chassis is "static" and it has 0 movement points.

This is his custom Class:
[FORT]
id = 3
category = land
stats = 6, 7, 13, 3, 2, 10, 17, 5, 15, 14
noPurchase
noUpgrade
riverImmune
navalFoundation
defensive
supportAA
supportAT


Why can it move with trains?

I've found it! :D

Set as "static" and 0 mp, that's correct.
But there is a little something to change: :arrow: steps = 0 (rather than 1 as now)!

(You've put 2 steps for the cav, which is excellent, meaning it can moves twice - provided it has enough mp(s) left. For the forts, selecting 0 step ensure that there won't be any movement at all, because the player can't act that way.

See, it's like when comparing with generic units like oil_pump stats... you've got one oil_pump on a railroad but unable to move - so, what's the difference in terms of stats?
:wink: )

:arrow: Steps set to 0. This has to be done 6 times: for the 3 yugo forts and for the 3 uk forts! (Yeah, even if I don't think the player will have uk forts to handle, but, anyway...)

That will do the trick! :D

That's fantastic! I didn't think about the steps!
