So I'm having problems with my Unit, I've tried making him not able to target land. But to no avail... I've tried everything I know now... Now I'm gonna ask for help...

Code:

[MINION]
UIName=NOSTR:Minion
Name=Robot Tank
Prerequisite=YAWEAP,NAPSIS
ProtectedDriver=true
Primary=MinionGun
;Secondary=MinionGun
;ElitePrimary=MinionGunE

LandTargeting=2
NavalTargeting=0

Next is the Vampiric Weapon, It works but he also heals anything thats beside him by 1 cell. 0.7 is the max it can go to still heal him and yes it still heals other units.

Not target land and water? I am assuming that you're just trying to disable force firing at the ground though, whilst still being able to attack ground units etc. There's one way to do it, but you have to sacrifice automatic target acquiring for it.

It's rather simple, actually. You just give a dummy weapon with all warhead verses values at 0% as primary weapon, and set the actual weapon as secondary weapon. This prevents unit from forcefiring, but also from automatically acquiring targets.

As for the second issue, I am not sure if it's possible to fix it entirely, especially if the muzzle animation is not spawned at the center of the unit (and thus the cell the unit is residing at) due to unit weapon FLH values.

I tried that before actually. But it also stops the unit from being able to attack trees.

I've also added TerrainFire=no on the NewVirtualScanner...

If you were saying 'cannot target land targets', then LandTargeting=1 would help.
If you were saying 'cannot target clear ground', a Primary= with a Projectile= who has AG=no would help.

Second one...

But I got around it by just giving the Unit 2 Weapons (One for Infantry) and the other for Units (Which has the Vampiric Effect)
