Onlytargetcategory, badtargetcategory etc

Is 100% fucked.

The only thing that does seem to work anymore is toairweapon=1;

However, if toairweapon is set to 0 (Which should make it not shoot at air at all) it doesn't do anything.

Fix Plox.

Incorrect.

Also, if you are meaning in 0.75b2, you're wrong as its fine in S44. SVN I can't comment on.

flozi, take out toairweapon=0; in your weapon and see if they shoot at air or not. It might be the category that is working for you. Cause I specifically tested this last night, and it did not work at all.

Do you get 'warning too many unit categories missed X' in the infolog.txt?

toairweapon=0 is the default, =1 means it will only target units of category VTOL. Try Gundam, if Xamels can shoot air (which last I checked they can't unless it's a transport with a unit loaded) then categories really don't work, otherwise it's an issue on your end.

TBH I'm not entirely sure, I will check as soon as my wife kills my firewall so I can use vnc on my machine (I'm at work).

Is the point I was trying to make, in regards to toairweapon.

OnlyTargetCategory works fine in S44 afaik

That's what toAirWeapon really does (WeaponDefHandler.cpp from svn):

Code: Select all

   if (wdTable.GetBool("toAirWeapon", false)) {
      // fix if we sometime call aircrafts otherwise
      wd.onlyTargetCategory = CCategoryHandler::Instance()->GetCategories("VTOL");
      //logOutput.Print("air only weapon %s %i",weaponname.c_str(),wd.onlyTargetCategory);
   }

That means toAirWeapon=1 is equal to OnlyTargetCategory=VTOL. ToAirWeapon=0 is equal to not having toAirWeapon tag at all, it won't prevent fire at VTOL units. And, if your mod doesn't have a VTOL category, toAirWeapon won't work for you.
