Question about having units joining your force

Zero18

Ok, I have seen those triggers being done in single player missions. But, is it possible to trigger on multiplayer as well too?

Lets say, I move north and found a group of 5 light "special house" infantry and they decide to join my force to assist me in combating enemy force. Can it do the same for buildings as well too?

No. For a simple reason. These changes allow only to change the houses (e.g. Neutral becomes Special/Nod/GDI), but not for a specified player.
If you specify house=Nod for a unit it will simply belong to a Nod player with the lowest colour (not sure there. Maybe humans are prefered anyway, dunno about it), and if no player has chosen Nod, the game will simply crash.

Another question...

Is it possible to make a trigger for multiplayer that if you kill certain enemy unit, let's say Cyborg Commando... They lose and you win the game.

But if they kill your Cyborg Commando, you lose and they win.

No.
-It's impossible to check for any house except Neutral and Special in multiplayer, because all others can be non-existant and thus crash the game when checked for them
-It's afaik impossible to check for a certain unittype. You can only attach a trigger to a pre-placed unit/building and check if that specific object died.

In FinalSun under a Trigger, simply read the list of possible Events. Then you know for which conditions you can do checks. Wink

I'm going to make my first single player mission. I'm curious, how do I change the objective text. Like custom text.

Extract tutorial.ini from the mix files and edit it.
Then deliver this ini along with you campaign maps.

How can I extract the INI from mix files? Which name of the mix file do I extract?

The newbie guide in modding
use XCC Mixer from the XCC Utilities.
then extract in tibsun.mix->local.mix->tutorial.ini
