This shouldn't happen

seems like somebody didnt provide his detri with adequate escorts and now hes getting mad about it

Hercules are VERY vulnerable to anti-air. While charons are made of glass, hercules are big chunks of glass. As soon as they engage into any warzone, they crumble. I usually escort a hercules with a cloakbot, or I drop units with a hercules beneath a shield, to ensure it lands safely.

Using the same logic, if an enemy uses a hercules to pick up ENEMY units instead, use hacksaws or raiders or any decent anti-air. It's... just one thing you have to watch out for. I think that hercules kidnaps are funny, and they don't seem too hard to deal with.

Good luck, commander!

As soon as you see the transport jump away, Jump also works when you are stunned so it makes it quite easy to escape.

A replay would lead to a more fertile conversation.

B1909435 4 on Violet Rampart Generator v1.4 at 54min 89%, UnLuky's detri killed all gnat and moving, but still be picked up

My idea is to forbid hercules from picking enemy unit which is not stunned, also drop it when it is not stuunned. Good and reasonable.
Or it is odd, pick it up to stun it.

Interesting, idk how that happened. Can anyone cheat some units into and reproduce it with a small replay?

I see, slow is involved, or perhaps cliff climbing. There is no reliable way to know whether a unit is in the "walking" state, so I might just have to tighten some fudge factors.

The engine knows, but it isn't telling. Units that really really care about this, like Fencer and Crab, have a bunch of hax in their scripts to patch edge cases where they would otherwise end up moving around while deployed. I asked for something to be usefully exposed to lua a while ago, but the response I got was that it was working as intended.

That was a while ago, so perhaps I should ask again.
