Hi all and sorry for not checking everything through properly before eMailing. I could have put this all in one message if I'd done more testing of it first. It appears that the problem occurs only on an enemy that has been created using the map editor and when using the shift+t toggle team feature. I can only assume that my problem is linked to this. I am reluctant to put up my map for people to test my theory only because its far from ready yet and I didn't really want it out there until it was in a condition where I wanted it testing. But if I need to then I will of course. But I've even created an identical unit to mine as a seperate text file but with the only change being that it is in team=2 and the skill works fine on him, but if i put a unit in the map as team 1 using the original unit but change it in the editor to team 2 using the toggle shortcut, thats where the problem seems to come from. Any ideas Ian or anyone else? Richard
