Ok...I made a base defense that is stealthed when not attacking. The problem is that since it is stealth, it will not automatically target enemy units without being 'told' to. Anyone know of a way I might be able to get around that?

[damo1]

have a look at the pathfinder it shoots without being told to

[Carbon]

Yeah...but the problem with that is....the pathfinder stays stealth while attacking, as stated. I don't want my troop to. I think since the forbidden condition is 'attacking' that it won't automatically target enemies.

Didn't work. I even did this...

Behavior = AIUpdateInterface ModuleTag_06

AutoAcquireEnemiesWhenIdle = Yes Stealthed
MoodAttackCheckRate = 250
End

[scythe_3000]

well ive got a mirage tank that is stealthed only when standing still and it auto attacks. i just have

AutoAcquireEnemiesWhenIdle = Yes

somewhere along the lines and it seems to work

[Carbon]

does it reveal itself when it attacks though?

[jmb8785]

I did the same witht he crusader just to see if it would work and i got it to work. send me the ini and i can do it for you
