Subject description: i dunno, it cant attack
Well, i've added swimming frames to [ADOG] SHP from JR007. And i've added to the rules same like [GHOST] (not all, just movement zone). The problem is, THE DOG WON'T ATTACK NAVAL INFANTRY. Thank you _________________

English isnt your first language? Write it in what ever your native tongue is and lets see if we can come up with a solution.

When an attack dog attacks, it technically goes into a "limbo" state when it becomes the projectile that flies towards its target. When the attack is done, the game needs somewhere to put the dog back into the game world after it has killed its target.
It sounds like what is happening is the game is not regarding water as a valid piece of terrain to put the dog on, thus it simply kills it.
The first thing I would look into is the MovementZone-- which one is assigned to the dog currently? (My recommendation would be AmphibiousDestroyer) Also, potentially, check the locomotor (should be the same as Tanya's or the SEAL's), and make sure you have a valid SpeedType set.
One possible workaround would be to "polar bear" it-- that is, give the dog the polar bear weapon or something similar, rather than its standard weapon. This skips all the "limbo launch" mumbo-jumbo and just fires a normal melee-range weapon that kills the target all the same.
That's at least guaranteed to solve the naval attacking issue. If you really want to keep the dog the way it is, your options may be limited. _________________ New name: Sir Prize.

@deathreaperz: You explicitly say the described behavior happens on water; does it work as expected on land, or did you just not test it on land? _________________ #renproj:renegadeprojects.com via Matrix - direct link QUICK_EDIT
Limbo launcher on amphibious units has problems as Worminator mentioned. Its best to keep limbo launch to only units which can only move specifically to that terrain. (I.E: Terror Drones & Giant Squids) _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT

nope if you want the dogs to be amphibious they can't have limbolaunch weapons. Besides... its impossible for a dog to lunge while swimming anyway. _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
Or could disable navaltargeting so it only swims in water but thats it.
His dogs being unable to attack naval infantry was the reason he started this thread in the first place-- my guess is he'd rather not do that.

Add CloseRange=yes on the Unit
CloseRange=yes isn't really necessary here, considering you still want the dog to acquire targets that are some distance away. Besides, dogs have the DefaultToGuardArea=yes tag, which sort of nullifies/overlaps the effect of CloseRange=yes.
Just keep the VirtualScanner secondary weapon and it should be fine. _________________ New name: Sir Prize. I've switched to a new account to update to the name I've been using everywhere else for the last several years. QUICK_EDIT
CloseRange helps the Unit to use the weapon properly. Otherwise you'd end up with situations like the dog running around in circles trying to acquire their target until they move. If he's changing the dog to use a short range weapon like the brute he should give it CloseRange _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
