Mount during battle,SwapUnitType,and CallunitFunction not work

[locustmustdie]

design for pursuit stage action:Mount the Dismounted MAA to pursue the enemy on the blink of collapse.
Tried SwapUnitType(id,0); and CallUnitFunctionDirect(id,"ALL_DISMOUNT",id,GetUnitX(id),GetUnitY(id));
neither works.
Gentlemen,any idea?

Why do you use "ALL_DISMOUNT" instead of "ALL_REMOUNT"?
I tried to use something like that in FoG2 before:

Code: Select all

	if (evade == 1)
		{
		if ((IsUnitSquadType(me, "Foot_Dragoons") == 1) && (IsMounted(enemy) == 1))
			{
				CallUnitFunctionDirect(me, "ALL_REMOUNT", me, GetUnitX(me), GetUnitY(me));
			}
		...

and it worked fine there.

lol,I misspelled ,thx,Cronos
but,can it work for side0? I want Dis_Foot_MAA on my side to remount
I swich the side for remount,still doesn't work,some thing wrong
mine

Code: Select all

for (i = 0; i < GetUnitCount(0); i++) //MAAs Remount to Pursue the defeated
      {  
          id = GetUnitID(0,i);
          if (id != -1)
           {
              if ((IsUnitValid(id) == 1) && (GetAttrib(id, "MoraleState") < 2))
                {
                      if (StringCompare(GetWorkString(), "DIS_FOOT_MAA") == 1)
					{
						CallUnitFunctionDirect(id,"ALL_REMOUNT",id,GetUnitX(id),GetUnitY(id));
					}
                }
           }
      }

Let me guess,Richard forbidden it by coercive measures.
But I have an idea to play trick.

Sorry, I forgot to point out that you must fill FUNCTION CHECK_ALL_REMOUNT(me, tilex, tiley) for it. You can take the function body from FUNCTION DEPLOYCHECK_ALL_REMOUNT(me, tilex, tiley) without if (gForceSelection[GetUnitSide(me)] == 0).
But it will be better, if you write FUNCTION ALL_REMOUNT1(me, tilex, tiley) in your Scenario.BSF and will use ALL_REMOUNT1 operator in your scripts.

I see,just like stakes,check_all first,then deploy

I got the bug now,it's cuz of

Code: Select all

 if (StringCompare(GetWorkString(), "DIS_FOOT_MAA") == 1)

Can't figure out why,as the "DIS_FOOT_MAA"was copy&pasted from Scenario.BAM.
I fix that by alter it with

Code: Select all

                        if(IsMounted(id) == 0)
                              {
                                   GetAttribString(GetUnitTypeIndex(id), 0); //to swap if has a mounted version
                                   if (StringCompare(GetWorkString(), "") == 0)

works fine now.
Still confused about the reason.

I can't explain the reason, because working with strings in scripts is not clear to me. It is the best option to use the current script constructions.

After increased Elan,experience and ammo for English;add Morale drop and a high proportion of raw troops for French,still can't win the battle of herrings. Those French were genius to lose such a battle that so hard to lose.
The program AI seemed enhanced that will avoid assaulting towards light fortifications as cavalry.Hence I added a segment forcing Lord Darnley launching kamikaze attack to make walk through possible.Sth. similar to AutomaticMove.
