How to make soldiers prioritize attacking instead of capturing buildings?

[AIEND]

After adding arson to the soldiers, the soldiers are still occupying some buildings in vain that could have been easily destroyed by fire, I want to change this and let the soldiers destroy the buildings first.

Another thing you can do is press "alt" or "option" if you have a mac, while clicking to attack. What this does is tell the soldiers to attack rather than capture the target.

In multiplayer we like this option because there are times where it is faster to capture a building and times where it is faster to destroy it.

您可以做的另一件事是，如果您有 Mac，请按“alt”或“option”，同时单击进行攻击。 这样做是告诉士兵攻击而不是捕获目标。

在多人游戏中，我们喜欢这个选项，因为有时捕获建筑物更快，有时摧毁建筑物更快。

I don't have a MAC.

Is this to be added to the soldier's template to take effect?

You can also exploit the bug that "attack move, units only" lets the soldiers also destroy buildings if they are in formation.

您还可以利用“攻击移动，仅限单位”的错误让士兵在编队时也可以摧毁建筑物。

ctrl+q？

[BreakfastBurrito_007]

translator must have failed there, sorry.  

"alt" would be used for everything but mac. I am not sure what it is on a chinese keyboard.

On mac it's the option key

翻译那里一定是失败了，对不起。 

“alt”将用于除 mac 之外的所有内容。 我不确定它在中文键盘上是什么。

PRC generally uses an English keyboard. The main problem is that I have not seen this usage of the Alt key in the shortcut key description in the game.

[alre]

isn't it ctrl, rather than alt?

不是ctrl，而不是alt吗？ 

If I press the ctrl key here, the soldiers will capture the building instead of destroying it by default.

[sarcoma]

ctrl+q and ctrl+alt+q are the default attack move keys, maybe remap them to something easier

The problem now is that the soldier's default attack mode is to capture,
If I hold down the ctrl key and then click the ground with the mouse, the soldier will capture all the buildings along the way. I can only press ctrl and then click the building alone to let the soldier destroy it. I want to change the default attack method of the soldier on the building, and destroy it first. instead of capture.

Pretty sure they are ctrl+rightclick and ctrl+rightclick+q

Its handy to switch them

Ctrl + Q + Right Click with unit(s) selected – Attack move, only units along the way are targeted

is that in simulation side?

[hyperion]

@AIEND you have to change the javascript code, @Freagarach pointed out a starting point. All else in this thread you can safely ignore.

 

You can check the diff contained in following download to get additional pointers:

can't it be an additional function called from the interface? Like patrol or  garrison?

And automatic garrison after capture.

[Lion.Kanzen]

it is already solved for A27.

[BeTe]

Not sure if that's correct strategy, but I set Hotkey for myself to Ctrl + Right Click as most of times I want to clean units and then capture. Before that I noticed my units are dying while capturing garrisoned building while enemy shoot on them. x) 

IIRC, you can customize it in 0AD Options.

不确定这是否是正确的策略，但我将 热键 自己的 设置为Ctrl + 右键单击 ，因为大多数时候我想清理单位然后捕获。 在此之前，我注意到我的部队在占领驻守建筑时死亡，而敌人则向他们射击。 X）  

IIRC，您可以在 0AD 选项中自定义它。

Under the current attack method, if soldiers attack rather than capture buildings by default, they will only stab with spears, chop with swords, or throw arrows, javelins and stones on the walls in vain. And I don't want that, I plan to use mods to add specialized siege damage to soldiers, such as throwing torches.
