I believe you mean something like the TS sensor array, correct?

Yeah, I thikn the RA2 engine had it but was replaced for that dashed line thing in YR

Actualy, no. The psychic sensor is a new logic. The sub has most of the logic with Sensors= and SensorsSight=, but it doesnt allow other units to target stealthed objects unless they unstealth.

I'm quite sure that when a unit with sensors is near enough a unit to reveal it, other units can also attack it.

Sensors work on units, but the SensorArray tag does not work on buildings any more.

It does work, it just doesn't give the effect that Sensors do on units. SensorArray makes the game give a radar event when a unit is uncloaked within the sensor radius, but does not itself detect cloaked units like it did in TS.

One of Bobingabout's first requests ever, hehe.
The SensorArray does not work in YR, it would be good to have it back indeed.

Sorry to bump this 3-year old issue, but doesn't SensorsSight works the similar way as SensorsArray?

SensorsSight works for all TechnoTypes except buildings. Should that be fixed first?

Edit: ModEnc says that SensorsSight is parsed for BuildingTypes, but it doesn't work for some reason...

AI sensor structure was able to detect my cloaked units and fire on them, so it works.
