Two quick questions:

1. Is it possible to have labels show only friendly units but no enemies (by editing Labels.lua?)

2. In deployment campaign my wingman and I often stumble upon infantry only enemies. How do I order my wingman to attack at will (without locking one soldier with shkval and using datalink)? Engage ground units is only for vehicles...

 

Thanks.

The thing you need to remember is that your wingman - like all AI - can only attack those targets that it has seen. I suspect that the reason it doesn't work (often) with infantry is that they are very hard to see even if you know where to look, so I suspect your wingman just doesn't have the foggiest where they are.

 

If you datalink on one soldier, it should hopefully help directing your wingies attention and he'll be able to notice the other soldiers as well.

 

As for ways to get him to kill them without datalinking... I dunno. See if you can position him in such a way that he has good odds of getting visual on the target.

Ah. One has to goad them into engaging then, I guess. Cheers for the clarification, EB1.

Infantry is invisible for me until I eject next to them :(

But thats the charm of not using labels ....
