Slashers very BUGGY

quote: Why do chase priorities need to take out of range enemies into account? The gadget would simply remove an attack command on a unit that leaves Slasher's range. This would make the fight command reassign its target.

i think thats will work.

quote: If that were true then it seems like racket okp shouldn't work, among other things.

I actually tested it. There are a few interacting systems with target priority and tactical AI. I've noticed that players can't tell the difference between engine behaviour, tactical AI, OKP and target priorities because it doesn't make sense for them to think about individual systems. The best way for you to know something is to test it while watching closely. Using your player knowledge of unit behaviour won't work because it works together too coherently.

For example: tactical AI causes most units to have move commands most of the time, this allows target priorities to work. Racketeer OKP removes attack commands on blocked targets.

Nobody worked on it.

lobsters! resign!

quote: Turn off unit AI.

the unit AI is off and the do shit.
With Unit "AI" on, the slashers are unplayable for me.

Note that this thread is quite good, regardless of how it has gone at the very end. Page 1 contains a bug report with a video so the issue here is known. No further speculation and confusion about which bits of the engine/lua handle different bits of unit behaviour is required.

quote: Why don't we change the minimum range for the AI? It will stop once in range and just attack with missile, instead of running up to the enemy unit.

Why don't you read the rest of this thread? It's probably because slasher has to stop to fire, and because the engine doesn't give proper callins for controlling that behavior.

GoogleFrog,

here is a worked Version wo Slashers worked well:
Game version: Zero-K v1.4.3.4
Engine version: 100.0

ZK/spring didn't exist until a lot of develobbing happened.
Do you want to return to those days?

Well, if I understand the problem correctly, I think I can confirm the above.

Finding the exact version where it changed could be painful (I don't know which game versions are compatible with which game versions) but ought to be possible.
