#3041: Weapon targeting cleanup
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: Per | Owner:
Type: patch (an actual patch, not a | Status: new
request for one) | Milestone:
Priority: normal | unspecified
Component: other | Version:

-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
* Counterbattery sensors now use real range, and work for allies as well.
* Radar detector targeting for micro-AI does not require line of sight
anymore.
* actionInsideMinRange() was misunderstood to mean
actionInsideMaxRangeAndAllIsFine, while it really
was checking isActionInsideMinimumRangeAndShouldNotBeAllowed; minimum
range is now actually checked!
* note that micro-AI does not handle minimum range; it never did
* Droid micro-AI no longer limited to target acquisition within its own
vision range,
can also pick enemies others can see within its fire radius.
* Micro-AI search radius for structure indirect weapons limited by their
own vision range,
not some random constant.
* Sensor micro-AI search radius now uses real range, not random contant.
* A number of duplicate checks in to-hit code removed.
* To recap: Direct fire weapons can fire at anything within weapons range
that the player can see;
indirect weapons can only fire at anything within the lesser of vision
range and weapons range,
unless they have fire support, in which case vision range is ignored
* A lot of weapons have a very small minimum range that is totally
useless but may produce
unexpected 'why does my droid not fire' situations where they are
_very_ close to target
This patch needs careful review and much testing.
