A new kind of skirmisher behavior...

[richardsharpe]

Hey, so while working on a "skirmisher overhaul" mod, I thought to myself: "wouldnt it be nice if I could get these guys to shoot while moving like real skirmishers" or at best, shoot then move then shoot, but i settled with while moving. I tried just setting the parameter in unit_tables to true but that didn't actually do anything it just let their unit cards say "firing" while they were running.

Hmm, this is somewhat scattered, I may need sleep.

thoughts?

Give them fire and advance?

[richardsharpe]

tried that, didn't work quite so well. I got them to spread out in groups of twos pretty well edditng rank/file but I just need this firing deal.

This may be limited by the animations included in the game?

[richardsharpe]

that's what I've begun to imagine

You could possibly go into the unit_stats_land table, and go way at the end of all the columns and you'll see, "can fire while moving". This may not work, but it may help and it's worth a try.
