HELP CREATING A BUILDING

s0p4 · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 11 Dec 2007

I'd like to create a building for the allied side like this:
a building called High Tension Generator (~30%), that, as the name shows, gives 700 energy for the player but it always gets some money from the player to generate energy
(PRODUCECASHAMOUNT: -187 | PRODUCECASHDELAY: 100)
and it costs 1875, and the main is that it can be deployed and when deployed it gives its full potential (POWER=1380; PRODUCECASHAMOUNT: -1325; PRODUCECASHDELAY: 300)
then its is called High Tension generator (Full)
giving a lot of power but spending a lot of money too...
i've made it but i really dont know why it never works =/
i forgot to tell: it looks like the RA2 Industrial Building ([CAIND01])
can someone please tell me how to do it or if it is possible??!!
because its really important in my map!! plz!
thanks anyway =P

At the time, the overcharge you want is impossible. However, all the other aspects can be achieved by copying the GAPOWR and CAOILD tags and adding Image=CAIND01 to the building.

it would be nice if it were possible...
so the code (DeploysInto: xxxx) only works with vehicles?
because when i put it in buildings nothing happens =/

i have an idea: what about doing two distint bases, one with 700 power and spending 187 money and another with 1380 power and spending 1325 money?
then one deploys to the other...
thanks for the help

that is correct. Buildings can't Deploy into anything. only Undeploy into vehicles.

Here. take this. Modding is a scary world. #Tongue

I did the High Tension Generator 30% and the HTG (Full)
but it really doesn't deploy from one to another =/
unforntunatelly the code DeploysInto only work with vehicles deploying to buildings Sad

nahhhhh

do someone know a way to swtich from a base to another?!
it would be great....
thanks anyway Smile

Please explain that last part. What do you mean with 'switching from one base to another'?

if you mean it changes owner it would require triggers.

He wants a buildng that deploys into another building but that is impossible in RA2 / Yuris Revenge and Tiberian Sun from what I know except mabe with NPatch (never tried it).

s0p4 its called "building" not "base" Laughing

The only way to do what you want is that you make your "High Tension Generator (~30%)" undeploy into a vehicle that is able to deploy into a "High Tension generator (Full)". And then you can make the Full version undeploy into yet another vehicle that deploys into the "30% version building"

If you need explanation in steps read this:

[HTG30P] ;or whatever you call it
Image=CAIND01
Cost=1875
UndeploysInto=HTG30PVEHICLE
ProduceCashAmount=-187 ; Amount every Delay
ProduceCashDelay=100 ; Frame delay between Amounts
Power=-700

[HTG30PVEHICLE] ;or whatever you call it
DeploysInto=HTGFULL

[HTGFULL] ;or whatever you call it
Image=CAIND01
UndeploysInto=HTGFULLVEHICLE
ProduceCashAmount=-1325 ; Amount every Delay
ProduceCashDelay=300 ; Frame delay between Amounts
Power=-1380

[HTGFULLVEHICLE] ;or whatever you call it
DeploysInto=HTG30P

Hope that helps Laughing

Djohe out!
