Possible Bug in SetTechtArtifactType with Pulsecannons

[Vanguard]

I decided to open a new topic instead of using the old one (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=16041.0), which is a seperate issue from this one.

Proof of Concept

# This code shows that Pulsecannon as an argument to SettechArtifact is bugged
# The List of Arguments was taken from the SetTechArtifactType Page via Copy and Pasta (yumm!)
# http://knucklecracker.com/wiki/doku.php?id=crpl:docs:settechartifacttype

"COLLECTOR,RELAY,REACTOR,OREMINE,SIPHON,TERP,GUPPY,PULSECANNON,MORTAR,STRAFER,
BOMBER,SPRAYER,NULLIFIER,SHIELD,BEAM,SNIPER,FORGE,BERTHA,THOR,COMMANDNODE" "," split ->UnitList
<-UnitList GetListCount 0 do
"TECHARTIFACT" I 1 add 3 mul 45 CreateUnit ->id
<-id <-UnitList I GetListElement SetTechArtifactType
<-id 0 "COUNT" I setscriptvar
loop
endonce


As you can see in the picture, Nr. 7 does not have a Pulsecannon Image and when selected shows as "COLLECTOR" which seems to be the default tech type for Artifacts.

Can someone please confirm, that it isn´t just me being stupid again?  :-[

Looking at the game code, looks like the type should be "CANNON" rather than "PULSECANNON" for the call to SetTechArtifactType.

Ok, Cannon works. Thanks. I posted a comment on the Wiki page, so others won´t have the same problem.

I've corrected the error on the CRPL reference page for SetTechArtifactType on the wiki.

I also noticed that PULSECANNON is listed as a unit type for both the GetUnitType and CreateUnit commands in the reference. Should those be CANNON as well?

[knucracker]

I think the other references are right.  I was jut brain dead when I did the SetTechArtifactType command.  It really shouldn't even have been a separate command, but I did it before the support for attributes.

Confirmed that GetUnitType and CreateUnit use "PULSECANNON".
