[FIXED pre-1.11] Unable to change surface-group sonar behavior

Post by Spectex »

I've noticed that I'm sometimes unable to change the sensor behavior of surface groups. For instance, if I want to activate the group's sonar, I'll open the sensor window, check Sonars, then click Yes when asked if I want to override EMCON. The sonars will activate for a second then flick off again.

See the screenshot: screencast.com/t/PQix0MGk The Ford CVBG has sonar set to active, but the range circles are not visible, because the sonars deactivated themselves after only a second. My global EMCON setting is set to Sonar: Active. In this same scenario I was able to activate the Zumwalt SAG's sonars without any problem.

Yes, I get that happening as well, if I use the "Sensors" button on the right-panel. However, if I use the context menu (right-click) to set Doctrine+ROE, then it works OK.

It looks like the Sensors button may be hooked to only one ship in that group, and hence immediately overridden by the group policy, whereas the context menu correctly sets it for the whole group.
