Missiles capable of crossing over obstacles Options

[ChristianSGC]

I'm trying to make the "Javelin Marine" of my mod to be able to shot even if behind buildings and "mountains", but instead of just shooting(it has a 75° degree pitch) up it walks around the obstacles to have a straight line of sight.

any idea of how to fix it?

Here is the Missile object, based on the vanila Tomahawk missile

Remove "ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT" from the soldier's KindOf field.

[ChristianSGC]

is there another way?


removing the "ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT" makes the unit able to attack even when the enemy is hidden on shrouded areas....

[Zeke]

is there another way?

Nope.
