DORDER_ATTACK
Overview
Instruct a droid to attack something.Availability
Warzone 3.1 Beta 1 and above.
Example
// tell myDroid to attack enemyObject orderDroidObj(myDroid,DORDER_ATTACK,enemyObject);
Notes
The droid's current order can be determined from it's .order property. For more information see Droid object.
As of Warzone 3.2, you can work out what a droid can attack from it's .canHitAir and .canHitGround properties. For more information see Droid object.
Droids can also attack features that have a .destroyable == true property. For more information see Feature object.
If you're ordering a sensor droid to DORDER_ATTACK then only it's assigned units will attack the target. If you want base defences to attack the target as well, tell the sensor to DORDER_OBSERVE the target.
Bug #3359 indicates there might be a problem ordering scavenger units that are pre-placed on the map (at design time) to attack.
