yeah kinda figured you would have a concept in mind for it, it wouldn't hurt at least trying to mess with the hp's i guess to see if you could get the desired effect just messing with the model a bit.

X wanted this before. He was persistent on it, and concluded it couldn't work.

I guess the only way is to have the DLL actively give attack and hold orders to the GT.

Pardon the pseudocode but
Can DLL read the setAltitude variable? Or
if CraftClass::[Aircraft] || HoverCraftClass::setAltitude > X
doNotTargetMe

The DLL would have to more actively constantly tell the damn thing to hold unless there was something in range. It would be nasty.

there is the IsFlying ODF entry, that, coupled with the SmartIsAirUnit default.

As far as I am aware IsFlying, only really does one thing and that is when its set on a pilot weapon, it makes the pilot use its bazooka animation set instead of the sniper one. Maybe it does something else on other units, but I haven't figured out what that is.

Just give it -no weapon- or -a weapon- based on what its targeting, probably wont make it very intelligent though .. like not shooting at the tank while it is being bombed or such
