Summary0003851: huge radar dots show for units in ground transports
DescriptionE.g. in BA 7.76 put a com into a hovertransport. The com is 'stored' deep underground (iirc) and this causes a huge radar dot to appear for the com on top of the hovertrans. If it scroll in/out alot then the radar dot eventually disappears.

Game bug, engine allows to transports w/o underground hack, but BA contains legacy hacks from TA times.

I couldn't find a wiki page or thread with info on how to do this, is it documented anywhere?

Lua it? I'm pretty sure you can make a unit invisible and unaffectable to everyone.

~0010878

silentwings (reporter)

Probably yeah - I assumed that wasn't what jK meant

Example gadget from S44:

http://sourceforge.net/p/spring1944/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/S44Main.sdd/LuaRules/Gadgets/unit_hideTransported.lua

It also stops passengers chasing after full transports.

So replacing ota hax with lua hax is the only way to do this? :(

~0010882

Google_Frog (reporter)

Hax? No, this is the sort of thing lua is for.

~0010884

silentwings (reporter)

No - it would clearly be better if this was a tag in the transport unitdefs.

Ofc its no effort and no cost to perf to do it with lua, but its a common enough thing that it shouldn't need custom lua imho.

For the record, this "big icon" issue is also in 94.1.
