View source for Overcoming Paratrooper Targeting Issues

If you haven't noticed, setting [[AG]]=yes on AA only weapons allows them to target paratroopers. Unfortunately, LandTargeting will not prevent them from attacking terrain objects, like trees, rocks, and the sort. It would therefore allow them, to some degree, attack land units. The solution is to change [[AG]]=yes on the primary weapon back to AG=no, create a secondary weapon with a projectile with [[AA]]=yes and [[AG]]=yes, and a warhead which will only damage the infantry armors. Now for you lazy people, or people who have no idea what I just said, I've created the code which will allow the Allied Patriot Missile to target paratroopers, but not terrain objects.
