Airlock only?

Hi there,

Is there a way to lock onto flying air targets only, and prevent the weapon from locking ground targets as well?

i tried

airLock = true;

irLock = false;

but irLock seems to override airLock and when false prevents ANY locking.

AFAIK there is no way.

you could make (all) grounds units not lockable at all ... but thats not really an option i guess  

Might have to settle for second best...

Is there a way to prevent AI from attacking ground vehicles, ie they only target aircraft?

well if its only for AI, this should be possible by altering the threat values.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">threat[]={0.700000,0.500000,0.300000};

Inf, Vehicles, Air

1 = ATTACK this unit

0 = "ignore" this unit

yet you better double check this. its been a long time since i was into this.

note that this works the other way round - these values are to be set in the attacked unit and not in the attacking unit !

so there's no way to have 'Unit X' ignore ALL ground vehicles, but 'Unit Y' attack them as normal...

suppose I should point out what I'm trying to do is have an AI manned SAM launcher, but it keeps attacking tanks. i only want it to attack air units.

maybe the cost value could help you here.

it tells the AI when its worthy to attack a vehicle and i think cost is based on the attackers weapon and not the attacked unit (cant check right now).
