So I discovered that even though many sources online claim "Load Pilot" ('Atlp') just crashes the game, it doesn't if you give it to a unit with the "Tank Turret" ('Attu') ability (also called just "Turret" in some places).
When you do this, instead of crashing, it offers the error message "Must target an armored transport."
Anybody know how I get an armored transport? I thought it would be cool to see what this ability did, if it actually does anything.
I was wondering if maybe I needed to add some meta data fields to it. I noticed if you give Incinerate (Arrow) the meta data from Incinerate you can edit its data fields (like Bonus Damage Multiplier and stuff) and they'll work and have independent numbers from Incinerate - I was able to pump up the "(Arrow)" version to be a 1000 damage instant kill while normal incinerate was still normal. So, maybe we need to introduce meta data fields for Load Pilot to make it work right?
I'm just throwing it out there out of pure curiosity to see if anybody has any insight on that. I gave it "Allowed Target Type" and 9 "unitType" type data fields to fill in, and put a tank unit I was making on all entries, but it did not seem to do anything. I still "Must target an armored transport."
