#6461 closed defect (fixed)

Attack walk with formations is broken.

Reported by: Freagarach Owned by: Freagarach
Priority: Release Blocker Milestone: Alpha 26
Component: Simulation Keywords: formation
Cc: Patch: ​Phab:D4550

Description

When tasking a formation to attack-move its members will receive multiple orders to attack. Up to when the formation controller reaches its position. For e.g. pikeman, this means they will never really attack their target.

A solution could be to stop the formation controller when it has found a target.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Task a formation to attack-move past an enemy unit.

is this issue really so big to block the release?

comment:2 by Freagarach, 2 years ago

IMHO Yes. Since we force formations they ought to at least work a bit.

In 26741:

Fix attack-walk with formations.

As well as patrolling.
Formations kept moving, finding targets and instructing their members to attack (thereby resetting their attacking state every time).
We now move into MEMBER upon finding a target.
