simple question. As far as I can tell, this should be able to target fighter/bombers, but instead I have -no- attack button. There's no minidump, and I can't see an error in Dev. Ideas? x.x this one's kicking my ass.

Well, I don't know for sure with this will fix it but your

defaultAutoAttackRange "None" May be at least some of the cause. Remove the None and put "GravityWell", 2nd line down

Edit: I don't think that is your problem.

Wow, how the hell did I miss that? x.x Lemme test it out.

 

edit nope, still no 'attack' button. Won't auto attack. It's pretty much dead.

Also your Canfireatfighter is "True" should be "TRUE". This is more what your problem is I think.

The "None" shouldn't matter that much.

Caps count? Wow. Testing ><

 

edit: Nope, STILL nothing. Won't fire, no attack icon. What the hell.

Did you change the "GravityWell" back to "None"? If not give that a try. Other than that I don't know. You could try changing the AttackType "ANTIverylight" to "ANTILIGHT" to see what happens. Maybe missiles don't do AttackType "ANTIverylight".

I get failed to convert ANTIverylight to an enum with DEV tool.

Also, here is a file that works after changing ANTIverylight to ANTIVERYLIGHT.

Like Ryat said, Sins is incredibly picky about capitalization.  Make sure when you replace something that you payed close attention to which parts were capitalized, or simply copy/paste what you want from somewhere else (especially if you're working in the ability/buff entity files where capital letters pop up in the middle of a line).

Caps lock is your friend when modding (or if you're just plain wierd like me you hold down shift with your pinky and type the whole thing out)
