Long Range Scan Explanation: 

The "long range scan" command scans the first object directly in front of the cybug, regardless of how far it is away. This is often used when looking for enemies to fire missiles at. If you scan an enemy, then you know that there is a clear path through from you to him. 

The scanned object can be identified in two ways:  

1: 

  • if scan found <object> then .....
  • ; <object> can be any one of Friend, Enemy, Flag, Mine or Barrier
  • ; (note: Long Range Scans cannot find 'Nothing')
  • 2: 

  • if value #scan = <number> then .....
  • ; <number> is defined as follows:
  • ; 0 = nothing (not applicable to long range scans)
  • ; 1 = barrier
  • ; 2 = enemy
  • ; 3 = mine
  • ; 4 = friend
  • ; 5 = flag
