Graphics bug?

Post by Phoenix100 »

Is this a bug, or working as intended? In the picture I am actually hovering my mouse over the unit with the yellow arrow pointing to it, the 3 units circled in red having been selected. As you see, I get the attack info box pop-up, but no attack symbol over the yellow arrow unit. If I move the cursor to the unit just to the right of the selected units then I do get the attack symbol. ??

Can you attach the save.

Sorry, Joel. I didn't save there and when I go back and run it again I can't get an exact repeat.

But - and this is in the attached save - I get a similar issue from that position: If you try getting any of the units parked in Velikye luki to attack any of the adjacent soviet units then the attack graphic appears and odds are given in the info pop-up etc but clicking to attack produces no attack? Is that a bug? I expect it's something I'm doing wrong and can't find in the manual. But the info pop-up suggests an attack ought to be possible, and if there is some problem preventing it then I'm given no info to that effect. So that's a similar issue, but with the attack graphic this time.

there is a quirk in the unit selection procedure. You can select units that can't actually attack (here your Pzr and SS Mot divisions) and as long as you also have a unit that can attack (your other MD division), the odds screen will pop up.

the easiest solution is to deselect the 2 that can't join in (realise this can be a real pain in a multi-unit/multi hex attack). Less reliable, sometimes double clicking on the target will trigger the attack (with the units that can actually do so), but I'm sure this one sometimes works sometimes not.

edit - its possible the pzr division has the MP for a hasty attack, def not the SS formation

Ah. Thanks, Loki. So whenever the odds pop-up appears there is a unit that can make the attack, right? (And the odds given refer to an attack with that unit only?)

I assume the other thing is a bug, however - the pop-up info appearing without the attack symbol - and will watch out for it occurring again and get a save next time.

...

yes, it basically says at least one unit can attack and here's the odds (excl those that can't)

When I load the save, I can hasty attack the adjacent hexes with no problem. There is the issue Loki mentions but I don't see it in this case.

OK. Thanks both. I will watch out for other instances of the missing attack graphic.
