Making units/turrets not fire at things automatically
Is it possible to make units in TS that do not automatically fire on enemy units? Anything with stealth capabilities will not fire automatically, but is there any other way to do this? I have tried HasStupidGuardMode=true (no idea what this actually does), Passive=yes (this only seems to make them not move), GuardRange=0 (Doesn't simply work as it should).
I was thinking but haven't tested yet a method where you give the unit a primary weapon with a very long range, but the weapon doesn't do anything. Then put the real weapon as secondary. But when you click on a unit, wouldn't it try to use the primary weapon? QUICK_EDIT

I'm pretty sure "CanPassiveAquire=no" should work for this one. NOTE:The spelling is actually Acquire, but that does not work. "Aquire" works lol!

Sorry, but I don't know what this does. But you could try giving 0,1 or 2% verses to the primary weapon's warhead. I think this would make it fire the secondary. _________________

add the key NoAutoFire=yes to your unit/building and it won't attack automatically. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Thanks for the quick reply. Damn I hate those keywords that are not commented anywhere. Is there a list anywhere where most of these "hidden" lines are explained? QUICK_EDIT

btw, modenc is mainly for RA2/YR
there is no special section for TS only keys
and yes, they are keys not tags or keywords. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Yeah, its a big problem with wikis. People don't realize it is a bloody open encyclopedia.
It may just be because I used the weapon on a spy. GuardRange was 2 and Range of weapon was 3, he never shot at anything unless shot at himself or told to fire. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

I personally don't like writing in a wiki simply because every noob can delete or alter the content afterwards. It's a bit too unreliable for me to write there.
In addition gives you TS everything you need, by opening the inis with a text-editor or the game.exe in a hex-editor. I never came into a situation where i had to look into modenc for a certain key. In fact am i more sure that something exists/works or not, by looking in game.exe (testing it myself ingame) than by looking in a certain info file or website. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
The only reason we have a RA2/YR section with good info is because we took Deezire's tutorial for the basis of our work. Slowly, everything's being rewritten.
I'd love to see some TS contributors add their necessary information. QUICK_EDIT
