    Default how to mod legionaires to charge the target without using thier pilum

    i have always got pissed by that you can't give your troops the command to charge the target with a simple double sword-click and that you have to click them to move at the enemy to attack without using pilum, i also lose my charge bonus when i do so.

    is there any way to mod this?

    just having a normal sword attack click function and then ordering your troops to use pila by using the fire at will function would be enough.

    i tried to replace the primarary slot with the sword and the sec with the pilum but then it disapeared completly..

    any ideas?

    Actually, you can order the legionaires to charge without the use of pila. Just hold the "ALT"-key when issuing the attack command.

    well yes but it's kinda strenous to go for the alt key every time so is there a way to make em work like normal swordsmen but keep the pilum function somehow?

    Perhaps if you used a trained monkey ?

    Try removing the 'prec' from the pri_att line of the unit in export_descr_unit.

    Prec stands for precursor which means they're thrown before the charge. Removing it should mean they just treat it as a regular missile weapon.

    Yes, but then the legionairs would be glorified peltasts or whatever other Javelinman you can think of, and it would most certainly not remove the need to press ALT to order them to melee.
