This looks promising.

From the code it looks like you are trying to check two rings around a unit for other player units, and issue a wake command to the unit if you find one (at least in method OnLocalPlayerTurnBegin), but i think there are some bugs here.
1. You don't seem to be using the fortified unit's "sight" value. Some units see farther than others. Scouts vs Warriors for example, or scouts that have a +1 sight promotion.
2. I think, there are some errors in the code as you are walking around the ring. When you get to the 6 adjacent plot, the one that is NW from the original location, you go south east, to a plot you already checked. It is hard to tell from your code. Also on the 9th plot you move West when I think you need to move South West a 2nd time and then move west twice.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your code ?

Yeah, I was just testing this. First I tried using a formula that had worked in civ v to get the radius, but that didn't work here. I also attempted to do it based on when a unit moved, but w/o the mod tools, the method I had to use would cause lag once there were a lot of units.
It actually should check three rings, the first ring was easy just using the directions and adjacent plot (the for statement), the other two I did the long way just to get it done to see if the idea worked.

I had done the code a different way that worked much better as a game script, but that is mostly useless right now. I plan to redo once tools come out.

 

[gyogen2]

Just thought, for now I could put an if/then statement around each ring and correspond it with sight of unit, if it is preferred based on sight.

@gyogen2 I compared both ActionPanel.lua files (original and update), and they appear to be identical.

Thank you for catching, I uploaded old zip by mistake

 

[gyogen2]

Maybe I didn't, I just uploaded new file, and old one still downloading, please wait to download til I can fix.

 

[gyogen2]

File is not updating for some reason- still downloading old one.
I posted the update in first post for now.

Thank you soooooooooo much for this. Every time I fortify I think to myself, oh I wish the 'A' button was still 'Sentry' mode.

@gyogen2 Thanks for the update!

 

[gyogen2]

Sorry I can't get it to properly update right now, trying to find out what is wrong. Probably me
