Passive acquire mode

[TaranDahl]

Passive acquire mode

• Now you can order the units to enter "Ceasefire Mode" or "Aggressive Mode", just like in RA3.
  • In ceasefire mode, units will only attack the targets specified by the player.
  • In aggressive mode, units will automatically attack all enemies, including buildings without weapons.
  • In normal mode, units will auto-target like usual.
• You can use two hotkeys to switch between these two modes if [General] -> EnablePassiveAcquireMode is set to true. When you press one of these hotkeys:
  • If all selected units are in that mode, they will switch to the normal mode. Otherwise, they will enter that mode. Units that cannot switch modes are not counted.
  • If any unit successfully switches its mode, a sound effect will be emitted. This sound can be customized through [TechnoType] -> Voice(Enter/Exit)(Aggressive/Ceasefire)Mode.
• You can use [TechnoType] -> PassiveAcquireMode.Togglable to specify whether the unit can toggle its mode.
• You can use [TechnoType] -> PassiveAcquireMode to specify the unit's initial mode.

In rulesmd.ini:

[General]
EnablePassiveAcquireMode=false        ; boolean

[SOMETECHNO]                          ; TechnoType
PassiveAcquireMode=Normal             ; passive acquire mode, Normal / Aggressive / Ceasefire
PassiveAcquireMode.Togglable=true     ; boolean
VoiceEnterAggressiveMode=             ; Sound entry, default to VoiceAttack or VoiceMove
VoiceExitAggressiveMode=              ; Sound entry, default to VoiceMove or VoiceSelect
VoiceEnterCeasefireMode=              ; Sound entry, default to VoiceSelect or VoiceMove
VoiceExitCeasefireMode=               ; Sound entry, default to VoiceAttack or VoiceMove

[ ] Aggressive Mode

• Order the selected units to enter or exit the aggressive mode. See this for details.

Previously when discussing stances we figured there should be a button/indicator at bottom bar. Have this went anywhere? If I recall correctly, someone even had the code to add custom buttons there.

Aggressive stance if I'm not wrong :-/

#1464 did not touch the bottom bar.

[Coronia]

Could there be visual indicator on techno to tell which of them is in aggressive/passive stance if it’s toggleable?

[TaranDahl]

Maybe it could be drawn next to the unit like the insignia.
But I don't think this is a good idea. We already have too many things to draw next to the unit.
I'm asking Crim to open a pr for his bottom bar.

I think @Otamaa had the code for custom vanilla bottom bar buttons?
