Yuri's Revenge custom Flak Trooper

[StantonCree]

So I got back into Red Alert 2 and I downloaded an unmodified rulesmd.ini for Yuri's Revenge. What I want to do is make the Soviet Flak Trooper be able to shoot ground targets and air targets while being garisoned. I got the garisoning part working but I can't figure out how to make him shoot both air and ground units. I'll post here what I got:

Ok I made it work... sort off. BUT they will not attack anything unless the structure they garrison gets attacked first. I can't even set them to manually attack :/

 

These are the new updated settings:

The flak troopers now have yellow icons when they are inside a garrison. I also notice that while garrisoned their range is severly reduced for some reason.........

I have made it completely functional now. I had to create a new weapon and projectile for the flak trooper, one that is capable of shooting air and land targets. I'm posting down here everything I did incase someone else is interested.
