can someone help me ;
i tried to make a demotruck explode on deploy,but it doesn't work

demotruck deploys into nademo , and here are the tags i used ;
-added nademo to buildings list
-added this to the description in rules.ini:

[NADEMO]
Name=NADEMO
TechLevel=-1
Strength=250
Points=25
Power=0
Armor=light
MaxDebris=3
DebrisTypes=TIRE
DebrisMaximums=4
Explodes=yes
Explosion=DEMOBOMB
BaseNormal=no
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys,BigGreySmokeSys
DamageSmokeOffset=500, 500, 400
TogglePower=no
HasStupidGuardMode=false

and added this in art.ini :

; Building artwork follows

[NADEMO]
Foundation=1x1
Height=1
ActiveAnim=NADEMO_A
ActiveAnimZAdjust=-100

;in animation overlays :

[NADEMO_A]
Normalized=yes
Surface=yes
Rate=500 ;make it quite high
Damage=10000 ; Also make it high

some please tell what i did wrong;
-also for some reason, the truck deploys in the square above, how do i fix this?
-the truck deploys but still has full health, although it i attack it, it does explode with the proper explosion Embarassed

(BTW what does AFAIK mean #Tongue

?)

All things that deploy into buildings do that, you just don't really see it with the ConYard, but it does too. There's really nothing you can do about it.

@4StarGeneral : wrong , limpet drone ,tick tank and artillery are good exaples , they deploy where you order them to

nobody knows how to solve this problem (units deploy one square to the north in stead of the square where they should? - only happens with new deployable units Embarassed

)
please someone help, all my new deployable units do this and it's driving me crazy (old units don't have this problem though Sad

)

Just add IsJuggernaut=yes, Artillary=yes or TickTank=yes, to the deployed vehicle (the building in which the vehicle deploys). That will fix it, however each of tags, has an specified facing direction before deploying
Every unit which deploys into a 1x1 structure has one of these tags, with the exception of the sensor array which has SensorArray=yes, which might have a similar effect.
