Civilian defenses

mcolligan · Civilian **Joined**: 14 Mar 2007

Hi,

I am trying to give a town some defenses. A small town has several pillboxes and a grand cannon they can rely on if attacked.

My problem is that the pillboxes work but the grand cannon does not. I suspect this is due to the GC requiring a power source and the pillboxes don't.

I selected 0 for energy support but the GC's still do not work. Does anyone know if I have to go into the ini and change the power setting for the GC?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for your responses. The GC's work great now.

One question, how do you access the ini editor through final alert? I go to Edit >> Ini Editing...but I am not sure how to access the ini text for individual units.

Thanks

better to make it a new building clone and yes gufu is right, the french will have grand cannnons which drain power but don't need it to operate.

You can manually add or you important, for instant i make a ini file called mod and I add [GI]Strength=900 and when I open this ini file, it imports.

I am making sort of a D-Day map. On one beach there are only civilian structures that stop any advance up the cliffs.

I just put a lot of power plants on the map to fix the power issue. I need to increase the range of the Grand Cannons but am not sure how.

Does anyone know how I can access the ini file of the GC. I need to access the ini code that Destiny posted.

Thanks,

Mike

Give a man a fish...

rename the map file; change the extension to ini, and it becomes similar to a rules.ini edit, except that the values listed here OVERRIDE the ones in the rules.ini, for that map only; like a mini-mod

The grand cannon's weapon is listed in the Primary= tag, ( it's called 'grandcannonweapon') and the weapon itself has an entry all its own.

so put this in the file:

Code:

[grandcannonweapon]
Range=

the range of the Grand Cannon is 15 already. Change it to whatever you want.

Oh yea, and good luck on the map, hope it turns out how you like Wink
