3. LOCK
Most actions dealing with other units in RS will require you to lock onto that unit before the action can be attempted. Locking a RS unit or hex sets it to become your default target. The lock command is used to lock your weapons utilizing, your primary and secondary sensors.
lock [<target id> | <x> <y> | <x> <y> <b|h|i|c> | -] is the format for the command.
When locking onto a target, it takes 8 game ticks for your targeting computer to fully achive the lock. Until this happens, you will have a +2 penalty modifer to all weapon/action BTHs.
The most common form of this command is to lock onto a target within LOS.

Note that the solid lock message took 8 ticks to be displayed. You may have fired your weapons if you wished at this time, but would have had the +2 secondary target BTH modifer. The next argument is to unlock a target.

Pretty straightforward.
This next form is used to lock onto a hex. When firing at a hex within LOS, you will make a roll based on visual sensors (no matter what sensor modes you currently have set) and modified by:
+1 for a single unit in the hex.
+0 for two units units the hex.
-1 for each additional unit above two in the hex.
If you hit, you will damage a randomly picked (with Mecha getting hit more often than vehicles) unit within that hex. This is to help break up large clusters of units gathering within a single hex.

The next three forms are variations on hex locking. Clear, ignite, hex, and building. These, respectively, allow you to clear a hex of woods, ignite a hex of woods, destroy bridge or ice in the hex and damage the Construction Factor (CF) of a building or hangar link. Again, BTH modifiers are based on visual sensors reguardles of what sensor mode you have set.
