Flying Slave Miner

hotrods20 · Commander **Joined**: 27 Jul 2009

I'm trying to modify the slave miner so instead of driving around, it flys. The problems I face are that it lands near the ore and doesn't deploy, it doesn't automatically looks for ore outside of the war factory, and it doesn't look for ore when you build it. Is it possible or is there something wrong in my code?

I can remember from TibSun that hovering harvesters/miners had some quirks with it. Maybe RA2 shares that problem?

Not hovering. I did find some old stuff in the research center basically explaining how this doesn't work since the slave miner logic is coded to just drive there and auto-deploy. It's buggy at best when it flies. I got it to auto-deploy a few times after having it fly there and then fly around for a bit. I wish I knew more about the DLL injections/how to code/fix stuff for YR. I would love to take a crack at fixing the slave miner stuff.

Perhaps don't make it into aircraft?

Use a jumpjet height of 200, and movementzone amphibious* ? I think "fly" gives it too much advantage in locating ore, and perhaps screws with the targeting logic...

Tried it, exact same problems.
