[phungus420]

Adding a new unit, special forces. For some reason it's flanking strikes aren't working. Shows up in the civelopedia, when you hover over the unit, etc, but simply does not cause any flanking damage. Below is the XML info for the unit:

Anyone have any idea why this isn't working? Is there some limit I should be aware of in the SDK? If so, where is it?

 

[Edgecrusher]

Just out of curiocity, try giving the unit a movement of 2. I am curious if it is related to that.

I dont have my notes in front of me, but the code appears to be correct.

 

[phungus420]

Nope, trying unitcombat_mounted and 2 moves had no effect either. Strange.

 

[Edgecrusher]

I wonder if its a conflict between having the unit target Trench Unit and the Flanking Strikes.

I always thought the flanking strikes was just a side effect of having the unit attack, so I am not sure.

 

[Cybah]

I know the reason. Since 3.17 you have to define:

			<iCollateralDamageLimit>100</iCollateralDamageLimit>
			<iCollateralDamageMaxUnits>NUMBER OF UNITS HIT BY FLANKING STRIKE</iCollateralDamageMaxUnits>

			<iCollateralDamage>0</iCollateralDamage>

must be 0.

Thanks Cybah
