Hello Xconq Game Designers,
There will be a new unit property in the next prerelease. This is
'match-transport-side' and it is a boolean. Prior to the addition of
this property, capture of occupants could only be accomplished by
setting both 'acp-to-capture' and 'capture-chance' to something greater
than 0 (in combat model 0), even though the ACP was never actually
expended to capture the occupants (I regard this behavior as a bug, but
it is one to save for another day, __another day when I feel like
rewriting the capture code).
If 'match-transport-side' is set to 'true' for an unit type, then an
occupant in a captured transport will automatically attempt to change to
the captured side (without needing to be explicitly captured itself). If
'match-transport-side' is set to 'false', then the existing behavior is
in effect, __namely, you will need to set both 'acp-to-capture' and
'capture-chance' for capture of occupants to work.
Regards,
Eric
