Lloyd Heilbrunn Posted March 26, 2000 Share Posted March 26, 2000 I've been playing the demo a few days.I tried Riesberg tonight.After setting up the 88s with a view of the road I waited for the tanks to come into sight.But when I tried to target them the gun was facing the OPPOSITE direction and by the time I rotated it the shot was no longer there....but when I double checked the saved setup, the gun was placed correctly!!What happened??? BTW,is the a group move command?? Even with the above the game looks great,I preordered yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted March 26, 2000 Share Posted March 26, 2000 Hi Lloyd, I think I can picture what you are talking about. When did the gun start to face the wrong direction? There is a group order/move command. It is limited to some extent, but it is great for general moves and/or deployment. Thanks for the preorder!

L.Tankersley Posted March 26, 2000 Share Posted March 26, 2000 Just so Lloyd doesn't pull his hair out looking... there is no group move command in the beta demo. The final version will have such a command. Welcome aboard, Lloyd! ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted March 26, 2000 Share Posted March 26, 2000 Ah! Good catch there Leland Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Heilbrunn Posted March 27, 2000 Author Share Posted March 27, 2000 Thanks guys.I noticed the 88 was turned around a couple of turns into the scenario,but I had not tried to target it before then so I don't know when it started.BTW,I tried the scenario again today without this re-occuring......

guachi Posted March 27, 2000 Share Posted March 27, 2000 You can also use the 'O' command to Rotate a unit (any unit) to face a particualar direction without firing. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted March 27, 2000 Share Posted March 27, 2000 Hmm... it might have smelled a target way off to one side, rotated, and then lost sight of it. Guns and tanks don't automatically rotate back to their last known human ordered position (that would be a bad thing most of the time), so it would stay point in the "wrong" direction. We have tweaked certain behaviors since the Beta Demo, so some of the conditions that might have caused this won't likely happen to you again. However, you still have to pay attention and see if your guns/vehicles have changed their direction in case you want to correct it. You can also Hide units (better than in the Beta Demo) and issue Ambush points for individual guns. These help keep your guys from engaging random targets.

Lloyd Heilbrunn Posted March 28, 2000 Author Share Posted March 28, 2000 Hmm.Thats hard to figure under the circumstances.The gun was pointed at 11 oclock,setup in the light woods, right at the edge of the setup area, aiming toward the road into Riesberg....It ended up aimed @ 5 oclock,directly aiming at the friendly area behind the town.Unless it somehow targeted a friendly unit........

Guest Big Time Software Posted March 28, 2000 Share Posted March 28, 2000 Dunno then. There is nothing in the code to target friendly units, and nobody has ever mentioned something like a gun turning around for no reason. You must have done something to get the gun to rotate, but simply didn't know you were doing it at the time. With the thousands of times people have played just this one scenario with the same build, if there was something wrong it would have been noticed by now. And trust me, we would have heard about it too Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Heilbrunn Posted March 28, 2000 Author Share Posted March 28, 2000 That makes sense, maybe I rotated it by mistake when checking LOS.Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
