Thanks. I finally got my own pathfinder mode working but I'd like to see what differences you have as well Any chance you can post it on github somewhere?

Here's a snapshot of the entire mod, no source, just a playable mod where you can see what you like and incorporate your take on it into your mod.
It's all AEF changes cause I only play US forces, and they are pretty OP, so play the AI on Hard or Expert modes. Or easy to see what I changed. I used to keep a change log of everything but it just got to big and I spent more time updating the change log then I did modding.

Overall, the US can build about everything, and I've grabbed other faction units and made them Allied Unit Here, or Captured Unit Here. Take anything you like.

Sent you link.
If you like the Pathfinder Sniper Squad (2nd building, 1st icon) you'll love the Special Forces Squad I made (Forward HQ Allied Tent [buildable by Assault Engineers], 2nd row, 4th icon)
Have fun

Then default_skimish would be victory point and total_domination_skirmish would be annihilation.


The repair animation is set in the repair ability and that depends on the entity type. Buildings get the digging animation and vehicles get the blowtorch animation. You can change the type in the entity or change the requirement in each repair ability.

K, I changed both just in case, also "False"d the "Pathing" options that monkeyed with detection of a bunch of stuff. Always wondered how they could move in and sit just outside my mortar range, like they knew exactly how far it could shoot... turns out they did!.. bastards.

Changed tank traps to "vehicle" type from building, you are awesome.

Fun fact: Hard and expert AI see through the fog of war, and expert AI also sees camouflaged units
Their resources are also multiplied. You can change all this in ai_settings.

Ah, I see.
I haven't modded AI since CoH 2.301 or somewhere around there.
Can you point me in the right direction?
I don't mind the resource multiplier, but I would like to remove the FoW and camo'd visibility AI cheat.

Planet Smasher, I didn't change the spacing, units already get "stuck" in between them, and I made them vaultable so I can get them out, but sometimes they can't vault them, so I'm forced to ... eliminate ... the offending squad.

Just read the output on Build line per line and notices it's moving my sga to some Company of Heroes Alpha folder... oye.
Did search and found:
https://www.coh2.org/topic/59135/mod-builder-saving-to-coh2-alpha-folder

So it's not me then.
Made a batch file to move the sga to the correct folder.
Ran game and my changes do appear now.

Man sorry for the delay in responding. I was able to get it working by combining your suggestions.

I took the Target Tanks ability code for "action_list" and changed "unit type = infantry"

Then took that and put it in the sniper squad file:

<template_reference name="squadexts" value="sbpextensions\squad_action_apply_ext">
<list name="squad_entity_actions">
</list>
<list name="actions">
<template_reference name="action" value="action\override_weapon_target_prereq_action">
<list name="requirement_table">
<template_reference name="required" value="requirements\required_unit_type">
<enum name="reason" value="usage" />
<locstring name="ui_name" value="0" />
<enum name="unit_type" value="infantry" />
<template_reference name="qualify_option" value="options\none">
</template_reference>
<bool name="search_load_out" value="False" />
<bool name="owned_by_player_only" value="True" />
</template_reference>
</list>
<instance_reference name="weapon_to_override" value="" />
<uniqueid name="id" value="1073745832" />
<bool name="auto_attack_only" value="False" />
<bool name="persist_on_weapon_change" value="False" />
</template_reference>
</list>
</template_reference>

Works like a charm, thank ya guys.
