...and I have no idea how to fix it. So. The Valentine has the Concentrated Sexton Barrage ability which calls the Sexton's hidden supercharged barrage ability via something called victor target. Both of these abilities are present on the relevant vehicles and my Valentine ability properly references the Sexton ability. Yet when calling the former, the latter does nothing, even if said Sexton has not fired its own barrage directly beforehand. Why not? Seems like as long as the victor target part references the correct ability (which is hard to get wrong thanks to how the Attribute Editor works), then it should work, and I've only made minimal changes to the relevant abilities:
  • Valentine ability: Changed cost and target (tp_position instead of tp_any)
  • Sexton ability: Changed num_salvo and shared_timer (squad_ability_2 instead of squad_ability_1)

I've tried reversing these changes and it makes no difference. Now I have made more substantial changes to the actual Valentine and Sexton, along with all vehicles in my mod, but I wouldn't think that those would affect whether Concentrated Sexton Barrage works or not. Am I wrong?

In the victor target action within the Valentine's ability, did you properly reference the Sexton's new ability? (Stupid question, I know. Just making sure, since that happens to me all the time!)

Did you perhaps modify the Sexton's weapon hardpoints so that the wrong one is used by the ability? The Supercharged Barrage normally uses hardpoint 3, yet it also needs hardpoint 1 to be present in its requirements.

The artillery action for the Supercharged Rounds also disables the weapon's parent hardpoint. Did you maybe set the parent hardpoint to 1, so that it gets disabled when trying to fire the supercharged rounds, causing the requirements not to be met any more?

That's all I can think of at the moment. It probably has to do with a change you made to the Sexton's weapons and hardpoints, so check all those you modified.

Nah, I didn't make any changes in the Sexton's combat_ext, so everything is as it should be. That's why this is so frustrating - by all accounts it should be working, and yet somehow it's not.

Have you tried setting validate_actions to False for the abilities? That helped me once, if I remember correctly.

What other changes did you make to the Valentine and Sexton? There must be something that's related to this problem in some way. Otherwise, I'm clueless as well. Sorry!

Just tried validate_actions: false and it made no difference. Here is an overview of my changes:
  • Sexton in sbps: small changes in squad_ui_ext and squad_veterency_ext
  • Valentine in sbps: small changes in squad_ui_ext and squad_veterency_ext, plus reference to renamed ability (the one which triggers the victor target business - I already tried using the unmodified/unrenamed one here to no avail).
  • Sexton in ebps: changes to crush_ext, health_ext and moving_ext
  • Valentine in ebps: changes to crush_ext, health_ext and population_ext, plus references a new prioritize vehicle ability and in action_apply_ext has an action to prevent the turret moving when neutral.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
Today, 02:36 AM
Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
Last Thursday, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.

Nickbn: and again someone else replies. I mean come on guys. Give @adamírcz a chance
22 Mar 2025, 14:00 PM
Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...
20 Mar 2025, 13:11 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
18 Mar 2025, 19:01 PM
Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM
Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...
