Subterranean help
in c&c4 Nod uints that go Subterranean and stay that way. i want to know if there a way to make it Deploy and it stays Subterranean, and come up when i Undeploy and stays above groun? QUICK_EDIT
I'm sorry, but RA2 doesn't allow for anything like this... But it would be a good idea. _________________ Okay, my signature was starting to annoy even me. QUICK_EDIT
Being that there's no way to attack a 'burrowed' unit, this would be a potentially bad idea. _________________ Because Banshee saw fit to ban my other account for no reason, this is my new one. QUICK_EDIT
What you're asking may be impossible as you describe it,but if you have a very very accurate description of every features your unit should have,maybe some experimented modders could tell you how to do "tricks" that would look like subterranean behavior (quick stupid random idea: turn the unit into an air unit with empty graphics,and invisibility/immortality tags) or something else.
Or maybe it could be used to find new ideas for Ares features. QUICK_EDIT
Well you can have a unit deploy into a cloaked building and have the building auto deploy into a cloaked version of the unit. I don't know the code on it but their something about auto deploying buildings in Tutorial Vault. QUICK_EDIT
I suggest it deploy into an invisible/clocked building, like what was said before. And then have it slowly take damage as it remains underground. This way staying underground for prolonged times will destroy the unit, but give you temporary invulnerability. Hence to balance the unit. _________________ Grab my Map Logic Expansion Pack 5.2 here!

ooooor you could simply leave the unit as be and not give it a weapon that hurts itself since most subteranian vehicles are made to stay underground and simply give it a tag so even if you still have it, it will end the game regardless if it exist. QUICK_EDIT
Hmm... What if it was just was cloaked in general? Is their a way to make it so if you deploy a unit it will cloak? Also is their a way to make it so it doesn't move while cloaked? QUICK_EDIT
That's simple, use the deploy logic from the Soviet siege chopper. _________________ Grab my Map Logic Expansion Pack 5.2 here!

yup, the deploy anim could have the unit go underground and everything. If anyone would for any reason want to, you could have the invisible tag on it (forgot on top of my head what it is, but there is a tag that makes it completely invisible, but if it dont work, just use an empty voxel file or give it a dummy image to begin with).
I dont know why you would want the unit to not move underground, but you could make its speed=0. That is commom knowledge i thought. To be honest, this entire idea is somewhat buggy like it taking up a spot ontop of terrain or how you either will be able to destroy the unit, or you cant target the ground or you will see the health bar (but if i recall, you see it anyways with these kind of units anyways).
Thats my input. I am sure there is better though. QUICK_EDIT
