:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The hunnic horse can auto scout on nomad if I built my TC and the horse spawns. If I remember correctly on other maps like MegaRandom if you spawn with it, it can auto scout, too, but I did not recheck for MegaRandom. I have the default hotkey for auto scout = ‘G’ set. If I press G, the hunnic horse starts auto scouting. If I press G again, it stops (as the hotkey for stopping is also G). If I press G again, it starts scouting. The hunnic horse does not have the UI button for the auto scout.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start a skirmish on nomad and choose Huns
  2. Build your tc
  3. Once tc is finished, select the spawned hunnic horse and press G (you need to have the default hotkey for auto scouting).
  4. Press G again, it stops. Press G again afterwarts, it auto scouts again. This will always work.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

One of these: Either the horse should have the UI button for auto scout or the hotkey should not be able to make it auto scout.

:play_button: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

I am not allowed to upload attachments because I am a new user. I have a saved game locally I can provide you via e-mail if necessary but it is not hard to recreate the behaviour.

I mainly just want to know if the auto scout feature for the hunnic horse is a bug or if it is ok to use the hunnic horse on auto scout. I have been using this for quite some time on ranked before I noticed that I might have been abusing a bug because the UI button does not exist.

Thanks for looking into it!
