[SDK] Advanced Unit Automations

The CTD is probably unrelated, as the AI can not automate, and will never use any of the additional code I added. The problem must be elsewhere. If you haven't learned how to debug your code yet, open a thread in the SDK forum, and I can try to help.
Afforess
The White Wizard
New update. Please check over all the merged code, as I made a few adjustments to the Border Patrol AI to avoid getting stuck.
Any other automations I should add? On a somewhat side-note, I made a new Mission for spies to sleep in a city until their max espionage bonus (5 turns in BTS) and then wake up. Would anyone be interested in me adding that to the OP?

Yes my code must be messed up elsewhere, I'll start from scratch, I don't have a lot in there from the RevDCM core.
The max espionage bonus thing sounds great. Sounds like "Infiltrate" should be the option, that isn't taken right?
Afforess
The White Wizard
Yep, I did. It's on the second post though. I'll fix it in the next version. I figured out why the bug Cybah reported happened, and rewrote the Border Patrol code.

Hey Afforess can you make a thread like this one for the complete "battle features" different implementation from Dales' modcomp you did the other day (I think you posted it somewhere as part of the RevDCM development)
Afforess
The White Wizard
It will be fixed in 1.3
Possibly, but when I have some free time, maybe by this weekend. If I forget, throw me a PM.
??? Did you add any source code for the non healing option? I can find your enums, but no actual AI sources which alter behavior. Also, there is no text key for that player option.
I did, but I forgot to include it.
I'll fix that for 1.3 too.
Afforess
The White Wizard
Really? I did include those. Are you sure you updated the text files right?
Afforess
The White Wizard
Really? They are right here, at the top of the file:

Had been concentrating only on RoM and Modpacks so did not realize this thread was here until someone linked this to Neoteric World Mod... My man, you are amazing 
. You are like a machine after you take someone's ideas and distill them into real things!! 
And now I understand why betas are slow in coming! Worth every second waiting. And yeah I have occasional bug like Cybah showed you several posts above so I'm looking forward to your fixes.
Plus had you caught that bug where Hunt or Border Patrol unit just freeze and I had to manually hit either Hunt or BP button again before they attack an unit facing it?

Infiltrate duh of course that is the great spy thing. I guess then "Sleeper Cell" or something would be more appropriate. Made ya a button if you like. Its tough for me to tell what they'll look like in game hah without seeing it, but this should cover what you've described

I just continued my game and now I think I know how to dexcribe the freezing bug better.
Ok, the turn starts and there is a city that no longer have any building to construct so it open up pop-up. Now I'm assuming here: the unit (in my case it was Chinese junk on Hunt mission) was trying to do its stuff while I was adding in buildings for next construction jobs for that city I mentioned above. I closed the city screen. I'm taken immediately to that automated unit. Well, needless to say, I just hit Hunt again and it went ahead and attacked the enemy unit.
So until you figure out how to fix that, I will just go ahead and use that Option box option to minimize pop-ups until all unit actions are done with. Maybe it will solve that problem. If not, I will report back.
