making a new unit with the IFV gunner image?

greive · Medic **Joined**: 30 Jan 2007

i wanted to make a new unit using the IFV's gunner turret image
and i dont think image=IFV will work
so would i have to code it with those multiple turret and weapons tags?
because i wanted the new unit to look like that always without passengers
so does anyone know the right codes or tags?
that would save me lots of time guessing and testing
i would be very greatful for any help or tips on this subject

only one thing to do, rename the gunner turret to IFVtur(1) and IFVtur(1) to whatever the gunner is.
I think ;9

so would i make it like turretcount=1 weaponcount=1 and make the turret and weapons for the gunner the only ones?

maybe, but if you do what he says to do you have to change the ifv code too
for your tanks art entry:

TurretAnim=IFVTUR

for the ifv's rules entry:

NormalTurretIndex=1
MachineGunTurretIndex=0

For the love of... Copy fv.vxl, fv.hva, fvtur1.vxl, fvtur1.hva and rename them to gun/guntur respectively. Then code up your new unit with Image=GUN and add appropriate art(md).ini coding.

i was trying to make it in just a map mod
i just tried adding a new unit with the same code and switching around the
normal turret and weapon with the gun turret and weapon but i got an IE
is there any way i can do this by just notepad editing it on my map?

afaik, no. i tried to make a tank that looks like the ifv with it's 11th turret, but you can only have the rocket turret afaik

oh that's too bad maybe i'll have to use the light tank image
there's got to be a way but i'm begining to wonder if it's worth the
headache
