Can someone remind me how to stop helicoptors and other air units from losing hit points when they fly around?
Thanks. |

As far as I know its normal that helis loose strentgh when flying around. This should prevent you from using them as air units with unlimited range...

Yes, but one time in this forum someone told me how to enter something in the Rules.txt file so I could create this "Superunit". I want to create a dragon or similar unit that doesn't have to refuel!! |

gregzilla go into the rules .txt and change helicopters special abilities. I think its only a matter of removing a 1 from the columm and changing it to a zero and then typing in whatever special abilities you need for your extra unit. |

...and they won't be helicopters anymore because Domain 3 units can't capture cities.------------------

Domain ONE is air, ROLE is 3!

No such thing as a flag for choppers. Correct me if i'm wrong.  |

Hey... Andrew, I knew about domain 3  units!
He meant refueling capacity! 
I'm wrong, then... ground-sea-air-"?"/AGAINST/Roles.
Confusing, isn't it? Correct me if i'm right.

I think we've lost an helico, boys; because he CHANGED it's move-flag >FROM the original< "0" value.
But you were also right.

What we're talking about here is the range value. Air units with a range of 0 are helicopters. If you want to create a dragon assign it a range of 99 (I thinke that's the max value allowed). It will eventually have to land, but it will probably become a casualty before that happens. Only range zero units lose the hitpoints.------------------

Just look at the original helicopter and mess with it that way, except for the range which will make it a non-helicopter.------------------

Range (    )?
Wrong the HELICOPTER has 6. (This is 6 plus a point".")
MOVING it is either 1,2 or Zero
Case closed; LOOK IT UP, that's what is written, typed and saved within the "RULES.TXT" originally created by Microprose in their file.
"BlueThunder to HQ... we're running out of fuel, respond.... *%#@$^^%!"
MOVING back to base, even if i am out of range.

read better:RANGE is the amount of turns it can stay airborne before having to return to a friendly city or airbase. units (air) with range 2 are the regular bombers, range 1 are the fighters, and range 0 are the helicopters (which lose health each time they do not land on a FCOAB...) MOVEMENT is a different thing. |

Alright, keep going then guys!
I know the difference between RNG and MOVE, interpretation of the terms can be, sometimes confusing...
but what i wrote is that >> the original RULES.TXT << has the header mention " reversed "... that's all i meant by it.
Must be a -bad- copy of MGE i own.
