Minelayer Logic?

How do I make a unit that performs the function of minelayer?

I vote for infantry mines. Just get a unit with an areafire weapon with cluster more than 1, let warheadanim spawn a dummy infantry with speed=1 (0 is buggy, it usually ends with the inf trying to attack a target too far away and never exploding due to trying to reach that target) with a small guardrange and a suicide areafire explosion.

Wouldn't speed=1 make those "mines" move and follow a retreating target?

Can't Ares "spawn" buildings via a weapon or animation? Would be more useful, since then the 1x1 building can also get Bib=yes, so it is passable.
The infantry mine would be only "passable" for crusher vehicles if I'm not mistaken.

Via weapons/anims, nope. Only with SWs. And I agree with Graion but you do have a point about Speed=1. Maybe Speed=1 and a very long AE zero-ing the movement?

Via good use of GuardRange, Range and AreaFire=yes, human mines will never move (except if they're crowded around the layer and the layer wants to get out of the minefield, then they scatter away to give layer a route to get out). AI mines do move around I acknowledge that - seemingly AI-spawned infantry are not on guard but something else to attack a dedicated target regardless if there are 30 other around - but I doubt any of you cares about AI that much.

Wasn't there something about default to guard tag? Or that doesn't work with AIs? Haven't modded for quite a while. Getting rusty.

Dunno, if DefaultToGuardArea changes it, I never bothered about it.
