It is a more general problem with stunned units (transports stun their passengers when loading them).

In BA and probably other *A games, units that are stunned do not deactivate themselves (via Lua/COB) and also allow their active state to still be toggled, so even a regular static radar will continue to provide coverage when paralyzed, etc. Now the question is whether the engine should force them to.

hm, i don't think its needed to enforce it.

imo the bug here is, that the unit can be moved and the radar / area effect is still at the same pos...

blocked the exploit such that stunned units no longer give sensor coverage when they are activated
