[WAD] Mistake in the DB for Aster missiles

[ojms]

Hi,

The Aster 15 and Aster 30 don't have the helicopter as a valid target when I believe they should:

Thanks.

I ran a very quick test and Aster missiles can and will engage helicopters.

Tip, you can easily test these issues yourself in the same time it takes to type your mail in the first place....

It probably should state helicopters in the db explicitly. I can manually fire the missiles at a helo, but have change default WRA settings for it to engage in auto.

Hi wild_Wille2

Have a play through this test scenario. You'll see that the Type 45 automatically engages the F/A-18 but at no point will it engage the helicopter.

Change the Type 45 for any other ship that has SAMs and it will engage both.

Cheers.

Just checked on your new upload and confims my previous test.

1) will fire with Shift F1
2) will fire in auto if WRA is set properly
3) should probably have helo as a target but easy to work around through WRA.

I will point out I double check WRA for critical units in every scenario to make sure they are set properly.

Yeah 'Helicopter' target type is not really evaluated in the code., however the WRA setup is. Meant to make the target-type stuff more fine-grained but will have to wait until I get time [8D]
