Why not add the harassment group when harass attack

[jzy-chitong56]

If a harassment group can continue to harass, it should be supplemented

I tried to understand this Hashtable function and modified the logic, but I am not sure about this code because AddUnitsToHashtable has intervals and is not the actual unit quantity

You will see that the logic of supplementing the harassment group is still retained here
At the same time, it comes with a fallback recovery freeze logic

function InitHarass takes nothing returns nothing
  local integer i = 1
  loop
    exitwhen i > max_harass_groups
    set harass_size[i] = 0
    set harass_time[i] = -1000000
    if harass_groups[i] == null then
      set harass_groups[i] = InitHashtable()
    else
      set g = CreateGroup()
      set g = ReturnLivingUnitsOfHashtable(additional_info, i, HARASS_UNITGROUP, g)
      call GroupRecycleGuardPositionInstant(g)
      call FlushParentHashtable(harass_groups[i])
      set harass_groups[i] = InitHashtable()
    endif
    set i = i + 1
  endloop
  set harass_group_length = 0
  set distraction_group = 0
  set g = null
endfunction

I don't think this is necessary but also not sure what your trying to do, The logic is working correctly now in master.

[jzy-chitong56]

During harassment, if the harassment group loses units but does not trigger a stop, new units can be added to the group to continue the harassment. This way, the harassment will not be easily stopped, similar to the logic of replacing wounded soldiers in combat

[SMUnlimited]

Will be difficult to do as just because its the same harass group doesn't mean its the exact same harass, any time the strategy changes it could be a different set of units it wants to harass.

[jzy-chitong56]

I overlooked this point.............
If you are willing to accept the fallacy
if the current harassment team does not retreat, only need to replace the injured and do not need to initiate new harassment -- This actually disperses the troops. It will be dealt with simply and roughly
