Can't reload onto transports

Post by erstad »

I've run into this a couple of times.

Background:
You are only allowed to have one LCU on a transport-type ship. If you have unit A loaded and you try to load unit B, you get a "no-no" message. Similarly you can't load 5 units into a TF with four AK/APs.

All well and good.

The problem is that if you partially unload units from a TF, and then try to load them again, you can't - you get the same "one unit per transport" message. I assume what's going on is that the code looks at the fragment still on the ship and the unit on the ground as being different units, even though they are part of same parent.

I can post a save if desired, but I'm guessing the cause is relatively obvious. Whether there's an easy fix is a different question...

Your correct that there is only one LCU 'fragment' (regardless of the parent unit ownership) per transport.

As to how easy it is to merge two fragments of the same parent on the same ship ....[&:]
