Alittle Help Please

I was wondering a few things about taking out a pre-existing unit for another. I am making a mod and need soe units removed.
Would I do TechLevel=-1 or TechLevel=11?
And would AI still beable to the build the unit? If so, would this tag: AICanBuildThis=no work, or is that tag only for buildings?

Regards,
Nuclear General

Either one works, I think, but I know 11 works. If it's a unit that's tag( [unitname] ) is already recognized, then it'll still build it, because it's told to in AI.ini. Otherwise, AiBuildThis=no should suffice.

Ok, thanks Dalamar! I'll give that a try. #Tongue

TechLevel=-1 prvents the player from getting that unit.
TechLevel=11 prevents the player and the AI from building it, and prevents it from being a crate goodie.
Westwood used TechLevel=12 in a few campaign maps, but I have no idea why.

AiBuildThis= works only on buildings.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! If techlevel=11 prevents ai from building, then why does the ai still sometimes build those things for me?

Then you didn't put the tech level to 11, that's why.

MP Mode overrides? Map overrides? Typos? AI hiccups?

If it's at tech level 11, the AI wouldn't even be able to 'see' the unit as one to use. There's potential overrides, though but that's unlikely unless he's playing a third-party map. The most likely candidate is a typo.
