REVS Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 There I was in Hill 312, about to assault a wooden MG bunker from the rear, and the two squads I allocated to the task both showed up as having a "follow vehicle" order. Now, unless that bunker was one of those cleverly designed wheeled Russian wooden bunkers, I suspect that there's a teensy bug-ette there. Oh, the bunker got knocked out. Must have copped a grenade in the fuel tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 A bunker is identified in the code in a 'vehicle-like' manner. It's an object that can be placed and rotated like any other unit in CM rather than a terrain feature. I guess this could be coded around, but I'm not sure how hard that is to accomplish.

Eden Smallwood Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 When I saw that it occurred to me that the phrase "Follow Vehicle" might be inappropriate, but the command is in fact correct. IOW, that command means "assault that object, approaching to within optimal range of your explosive and/or flamey weapons, staying out of it's kill arc please". The only thing which is different in the case of a vehicle would be that a vehicle will be followed if it moves. See what I mean? Possibly no "fix" is necessary other than translating "Follow Vehicle" in your mind to "Approach without dying and Destroy", which is different than "Target".

REVS Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 Oops. Double post. How did that happen? [ November 27, 2002, 02:44 AM: Message edited by: REVS ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVS Posted November 27, 2002 Author Share Posted November 27, 2002 Thanks for the replies. No, the 'follow vehicle' thing doesn't bother me a bit, but when I see all these posts in the forum about 'bugs' and my version of the game seems to work faultlessly at all times, I have to confess that when I saw my little bunker 'bug-ette' I went '"Eureka, I've finally found a bug in the game". Had to post, no matter how inconsequential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
