Aircraft Repair Question

4StarGeneral · General **Joined**: 14 Sep 2006 **Location**: Limbo

As you know I don't usually ask questions, but I'm stumped on this one.
I wanted to create a repair drone system for the war factories to the extent of C&C 3, but cannot get it to work. I'm not sure if aircraft just can't repair units, if the war factory can't have a weapon (maybe gets in the way of making units), or something else.
Anyways, it crashes as soon as something is built from the war factory. Here's the aircraft code (really the only custom thing ATM):

Update to 1.001 first. And elaborating what exactly you are trying to do would help.

Ah, sorry, forgot it wasn't patched.
As for elaborating, I'm trying to make the war factory spawn 3 little drones that can repair any damaged units in the area (manual targetting most likely) and then return to the factory to reload. The drones are aircraft obviously, and I can't see anything wrong in the code, so who knows...maybe the patch'll fix it.

Make an active animation where those little bastards buzzes in the air and fires with their repair cannons...
