Cannons Attack Automatically (see description)

I made this mod so that people wouldn't have to download various other mods that do the same thing but come with a lot of unwanted extra features.

The only thing this mod does is make standard cannons attack automatically. I believe howitzers do this already; mortars do not do this because "buildings only" and multi-barreled cannons are trash anyway*.

This does work in multiplayer, I think all players need it but it's possible they don't. I would advise that everyone does have it at the same time though for fairness.

This mod edits unit behaviour scripts and is likely to conflict with other mods that do the same as they are mostly all included under a single file. It also might not work if you have any DLC that add units, since i don't have those DLC i can't verify.

If the mod doesn't work because of a conflict, follow these steps to make the change yourself:

1. Go to: [your steam directory]\steamapps\workshop\content\333420\
2. Look through the folders to find whatever other mod contains the file: "\data\scripts\lib\unit.script"
3. Open \data\scripts\lib\unit.script with a text editor
4. Find (ctrl+f) line:

'cannon' : begin

5. Scroll down until you find: SetObjBaseSearchBuildVisionScore
6. Change the first number (by default it is 500) to 2000 so it looks something like this:

SetObjBaseSearchBuildVisionScore(objprop, objbase, 2000, 2400{3840}, 1{8}, 50);

7. Save
8. In case the conflicting mod has an update, it will revert the change you have made, so go back to step 1 again.

It's actually that simple!
