1.3 questions re: model size and flight

TOO, Subattack is simply what the AI does when another craft gets in range of it and its not otherwise doing anything else. SubAttack "AD" will not work either, as i've tried it several times over with different attack/subattack combos.

If I were to code an AI for aircraft, i'd seriously look at SAV AI. This particular AI will deploy (take off) and move towards any target on the map, the only problem is that it doesnt fire; fix that, in addition to allowing the AC to do the same thing for 'move' commands, and you almost have a decent aircraft AI.

attackTask = "<name of attack task>"
defendTask = "<name of defend task>"
waitTask = "<name of wait task>"
specialTask = "<name of special task>"
subAttackTask = "<name of sub-attack task>"

I still can't seem to find all the paremeters for those.

There, it's been touched by someone, [sarcasam]feel free to rub the nice, smooth font the words [AirCraftClass], and/or aircraft, on your computer screen. Then, you have truly touched, [AirCraftClass], and/or aircraft, or at least, touched them the best you could. [/sarcasam]

It wasn't me who made that, I think it was black hunter, or general blackdragon, easy to get those names confused. Most likely blackdragon, so I give general black dragon the credit.

I think I can safely say that BH had nothing to do with that odf. Whoever did make it, didn't know what they were doing as there are 6 weapon HP's and the game will only support 5. On top of that, they have a rather high value for health yet it is classed as low "armorClass". It also has a ridiculously long build time with an even more absurd custom time. I would never wait 35 seconds (let alone 45) for 1 ship to be built  when I can make 2-3 of something else depending on whether I had the scrap or not. :p
