sometime I get a orange line appear between my troop and enemy,
what is it? It look like the line was connect between my cursor and enemy.
It not appear everytime. It's come and go.

It could be that the REVEALS_ENEMY_PATHS flag is set on one of your units. Or maybe not...

Oh I know what you're talking about.

That line comes from the Listening Outpost!

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think it tells you what units the enemy is targeting.

Can anybody confirm this?

From what I can tell the Listening Outpost's orange line is pointing where the targeted unit is going.

Something similar can be turned on and off in the DebugAI = Yes\No line in gamedata.ini (at least in the regular generals)

So does this enable something like the RA2 Psychic Sensor? Or does it work different?

What does the psychic sensor actually do?

(my RA days are YEARS back)

It draws lines between enemy units and the place where they wanna go, IF the place they wanna go to is in the range of the sensor...

If that 's true, then we can make a sensor that detect emery movement just like in RA2 Psychic Sensor and place it all over the map?

GREAT
