Fix for when aircraft don't fight back...

(1/2) > >>

chris.staddon:
Hello there,
Been playing a while and today I had a new issue. All of a sudden I could no longer click on any UFO icon to attack it - the launch menu never appeared. I tried launching one of my craft manually - then sent it close, but it sat there doing nothing whilst the UFO pummelled it to death...  :o Don't know if that's a bug or something like the UFO was out of orbit - can you advise? Having said that, if one of your aircraft gets attacked it should either fight or run away, not sit there and get mullered! Can you put a fix (or an option to set in flight) to ensure it will attack if a UFO gets within range - or should anyone attack it, it fights back?

Crystan:
Probably your Interceptor is out of ammo? Dont know how the game behaves in that case. We need also more informations - which version of the game, which interceptor, which interceptor weapons...

chris.staddon:
Nope, first thing I checked was ammo, and in any case I have 5 bases and all my craft had ammo - and lasers on my Phoenixes (so ammo shouldn't be an issue). The menu doesn't come up. Could be the UFO was too high up (which was a feature in the original UFO game if I remember rightly). Though I'd have thought there'd have been a message to that effect.

chris.staddon:
OOPS forgot... 2.5 Dev. However I've been playing for a good few weeks and (still in the same campaign) this is the first time ever this has happened. No error message either - it just allows me to click on the UFO and centre on it, but no launch menu comes up.

upload your savegame, tell us on which base which craft was not be able to attack. I'll try to debug it.
