Two garrison questions

Two small questions on garrisoning structures.

How to make infantry garrisoned in a civilian structure not evacuate the building when it reaches red health? Like the Soviet Battle Bunker. For some unknown reason i can't figure out of the Battle Bunker does it.

Is it possible to kill all the occupants of a garrisoned structure when it is destroyed, instead of all the infantry escaping unharmed?

Thanks.

1) It's the TechLevel. -1 ejects early, higher values will not. I don't know whether -2 would work.

2) Nope, at least I'm not aware of a way to do this.

2) Use a death weapon on the building that kills all the infantry?

Thanks, I actually figured that out shortly before you posted, I set the tech level to 11.

The issue with that is if you create a weapon that kills the infantry when they come out, it's spread can also kill nearby un-garrisoned infantry. Also it looks a bit strange how the infantry all leave the destroyed building then all suddenly fall to the floor dead (although this doesn't bother me to much compared to the other problem).

Btw, did they (Ares) find any way to make weapons that clear garrisoned building?

There's no "one shot kills all" weapon effect, but you can create buildings that forward damage to occupants.

Not a weapon effect, but it is fair to mention Assaulter=yes.

I take it theres no miracle solution to kill the occupants then?

Also during my experiments I found if you set a weapon with a arcing projectiles range to 9 or over, when firing up elevation they constantly overshoot there target. I set a Rhino's (120mm) arcing weapon to 14 range and it always overshoots the target if you try to fire over about the distance of 8 range at a elevated area, effectively limiting arcing weapons range to 8 when firing up elevated areas. Then I tried the same in TS, setting the Tick Tank's (90mm) arcing weapons range to 14 and never overshot at any range or angle.

I've tried all sorts of things to fix this, but nothing seems to work.

Is there something different about the TS and YR engine that makes this happen? Or is it a setting that is different between the two games that I can change in Rules.ini or something?

Any help would be appreciated on this, As this is quite a frustrating issue.

Renegade just mentioned Assaulter Logic...

Add Assaulter on the primary weapon and make sure the infantry can target buildings with their primary. This should allow them to "enter" garrisoned buildings to clear them out.

Also theres the Squatter's rights thingy with trench logic. whereby if you can get one of your own infantry that can garrison into the building they'll clear out the occupants as well.

Eh? Did you even read my posts? I don't want to clear out the building. I want all the occupants to die when it is destroyed.

I did read it. We offered alternatives you don't have to be so negative about it. There's nothing close to an anti-garrison weapon like in Gens+ Games. Closest you can get right now is the trench logic in Ares.

I know what my options are for anti garrison weapons. But that is NOT what i want to do, what i want is when a garrison-able structure is DESTROYED, instead of all the occupants escaping unharmed they are all killed. Neither the trench logic or assaulter logic will help me with this.

There is no such logic.
