Summary0004153: Attack command behavior does not make sense
DescriptionAttack commands are just that. They should tell the unit, to and attack this unit or this location. Once the unit destroys the manually targeted unit, it would default to normal behavior, because that attack is then cleared.

If the attack command was given on a map location, the unit would then attack that spot indefinitely until told to do something else or stop.

Fight commands should work the same way they do now, which is, move to this location, and attack any and all enemies along your path.

Move commands should work the same way it does now. Move to this location, feel free to shoot at any enemy that gets in range.

At the moment, the attack command is some sort of weird melding of fight and move, and it sucks. Hold fire + attack is not a good alternative, for obvious reasons, such as, giving a unit a manual attack order, and it fires en route, and is reloading when it gets in range of the original target. That is one very small example, but it's a big deal.

This is lua-able, so none of the engine devs will take it seriously anyway. Might as well just close it.

Sadface.

Has this always been the behaviour or are you reporting something new?

Apparently it has always worked the way it does currently. I was mistaken.

That said, to me, the current behavior doesn't make sense, but smoth tells me that luaing it makes the most sense, making this bug report useless.
