75b2: bundled con units dont work together

Post by Linebacker »

In 75b2 when I select adv aircon and normal aircon both and set them to build a unit that only the adv aircon can build, the normal aircons would refuse to assist the adv cons. I would have to click the advanced structure again with an icon looking like this [[ <> ]] <-- repair/assist, then they would start to work. But that would destroy the building cue set for the adv cons since they are still selected as well.

I suppose the same problem occurs with ground adv cons + cons.

Its not a bug, you are meant to set the other cons to assist with the guard command.

I was under the impression that 74b3 would have implemented that feature already. But I was wrong.

Well, I request this as a feature for next releases then. :P

The issue is that all units get the same command but for the regular con planes it's an invalid command (they can't make T2 stuff) so they have to ignore it. Cons assist if what they want to build is already being built there but since T1 cons can't be ordered to make T2 stuff they don't get the order in first place.
