Building Upgrade w/ Turret help

XxpeddyxX · Commander **Joined**: 03 Sep 2004

I've been trying to get the Pill Box to have an AA upgrade via adding a new turret to it. Works well with the weapon, the pill box will attack both ground and air units but there's only 1 problem, when you build the upgrade it will play out as a full animation from start to finish including shadow frames then it disappears.

I've tried copying the code straight from TS but same thing happens. Any thoughts?

Upgrade turret logic only works properly with the structure defined as WallTower=. Your problems are perhaps related to that.

The tags at Image won't be read if you specify the override at art. Move LoopStart and co. tags to GAPILLAA.
