When I right click an enemy tank, the unit currently selected is supposed to move in and attack, which he does. The problem comes when I tell him to move in and attack a second enemy tank, which he won't do. But he'll go in and attack the first one again. There a way to fix this? Code:

Code:

function enemyEvents()
{
	selectMe();
	if(event_type == event_rightclick)
	{
		//breakpoint;
		enTarg = my;

	}

What happens is this: If the Tank_AI or TankTurret_AI is rightclicked, it is assigned the pointer "enTarg" and the flag attack is set to one. Then the enemyEvents() waits a frame. Meanwhile, all the selected tanks check the attack flag and seeing that it is one, move in to the attack. And enemyEvents(), after that frame, sets attack back to zero again to allow the tanks to stop attacking if they need to and then attack another tank.

And I performed the following test: I rightclicked the first enemy tank, and my tank went in and attacked. I then rightclicked the second tank and my tank didn't attack (contrarily, he drove right up to it). Then I entered "ent_remove(enTarg)" into the command line and it was the second tank that disappeared, rather than the first, so it is not a problem with the pointer (although that showed that I have empty pointer problems to deal with in the future, no biggie)
