Not just the repair IFV; any unit, except for JumpJet units like Kirov and Night Hawk. Ctrl+Alt+LMB is guard order (or area-guard, not sure), and JumpJets can only guard cells or stationary units for some reason.

In the Alien Invasion Mod, the Gap Generator deployment actually did something, it basically Tripled the AoE of the Shroud created by the Gap Generator. Also, in addition to that, the mod made it so that the Gap Generator will not allow superweapons to be fired within its radius. (Actually made it useful against AI lol)

What is up with the deployment of the Gap generator, I need more info in that!

@m-w-y7325 3 жыл бұрын

Simple, it was supposed to have a super mode that would require twice the power the gap generator needed and expand the gap radius significantly, this was removed obviously due to balancing reasons and the deploying command was just left with over 9000 power drain so players would avoid deploying it.

@ZhalgasSubebaev 3 жыл бұрын

By the way, TG's notice about crate power-ups seriously helped me at the original RA2 mission "Destroy Yuri and Kremlin". After 4 hours of hard defence against the endless waves of Yuri's infantry and vehicles, my Anti-Air and Tesla towers were seriously buffed by those crates. Believe or not, Tesla Tower ewpowered by 2 Tesla troopers and few crates destroyed one Apocalypse tank by SINGLE STRIKE! My Kirov's were able to stand against flak vehicles for a long

it was intended to be possible to deploy a Gap Generator to overload it and increase the area it blacks out. However, the code is unfinished and the feature doesn't actually work in RA2 or YR, but for some reason the deployment part still does, and was not commented out of the Gap Generator...they just increased the power demand for it to 9000 instead.

G is hotkey for "guard" function. It makes the unit attack any valid targets within certain range. Engi IFVs "attack" allied units by repairing them, miners "attack" ore to harvest it. Another hotkey that's not much used is x which causes a group of units to disperse. Its main function is to reduce effect of splash damage, and if timed correctly it can help avoid a missile from a jet. Also, the spacing helps IFVs stagger their attacks so that not all of them target the same V3/rocketeer/jet/etc.
