While we're on the subject of improving things, would someone be interested in fixing up the category tags?

I.E. Category, OnlyTargetCategory, BadTargetCategory, etc?

It would be nice to have proper subtables for these items, like:

Category = {
Air,
Ground,
}

Any takers?

Currently there are a lot of inconsistencies. For example, badtargetcategory only pays attention to the first item, so badtargetcategory = "AIR GROUND", will only take effect for "AIR", not "GROUND".

Other silly things.

change your unitdef luas and you can have that.

mantis it with links to mod and maybe even a replay

So I should break the game, so someone can do some bugtesting. Yeah no.

Just tell them what changes to make then or make a teeny tiny mutator

Do you mean that
a) "GROUND" != "Ground" (case sensitive) or
b) that only the first category is ever used, even with correct spelling?

a) with a few lines of lua it is possible to warn about misspelled categories/correct them
b) would be a bug (imo, if its true) and belongs on mantis.

Or do you mean
c) that "AIR GROUND" is less nice than "AIR", "GROUND"?

You can safely take all of your scenarios and chuck them out the window.

The C one makes a good point for it though, even though it's obvious that

category = "AIR GROUND",

is much less nice than

category = {
"AIR",
"GROUND",
}

I have corrected the non capitalized Ground. That was a typed up example, not a copy pasted one.

Try to set two categories as a badtargetcategory. Only the first one will be obeyed.

Edit: re-read your post (It's kind of confusing) and yes: "b) that only the first category is ever used, even with correct spelling?"
