unit.txt file DESTINATION_RESOURCE issue

[Lothos]

In the header of the file it has the following comments about the command

; #DESTINATION_RESOURCE= Resource destination position for units listed by #UNIT_ID

; Units will arrive either within or adjacent to the #DESTINATION_RESOURCE or as close as possible in
; another friendly resource.

The part about it going to the nearest possible friendly resource appears not to be working. I seen this happen in both Russia and in Finland with tests. If the resource is taken before the unit command can execute then it never fires until the resource is taken back.

From what I remember the #DESTINATION_RESOURCE still needs to be a valid friendly resource, e.g. if it fills up then it goes to the next nearest friendly resource etc., but if you've lost it, then I believe that is the correct behaviour and the units will not arrive there as it has been lost.

But I also believe you can have multiple #DESTINATION_RESOURCE positions for that very possibility

Can you enter multiple DESTINATION_RESOURCE ?

The file does not say you can and none of the ones I have seen in other areas use more than one.

Yes you can and it is in the Template notes for UNIT events:

; Units will arrive either within or adjacent to the #DESTINATION_RESOURCE or as close as possible in
; another friendly resource. More than one #DESTINATION_RESOURCE can be listed per event.

Just tested this with multiple DESTINATION_RESOURCE and it worked like a charm

OMG this is so awesome!

Makes me wonder what other secrets you been holding out on us

But no multiples line in AI Purchase, for it is not stated like in Unit template?

Do you update the Template with upgrade to the scripts?

[Hubert Cater]

Correct, it is just the one #DESTINATION_POSITION for AI purchase scripts
