two little doubts

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

well, just two decisive questions...
•1) is there a way to make the game to consider vehicles as they were buildings just in certain moments, as an example, to make the code GAPGENERATOR=yes/no, that works just with buildings, to work with vehicles?
i thougth that if i put a code like this: CONSIDERBUILDING it should work, but it's not a valid code, so... is there one??
if its possible, i could make my mobile gap generator... Very Happy

•2) does the codes DeploysInto and UndeploysIntro just works if the building that the vehicle is going to deploy has a Sell (or Intro, wathever) Animation?? becaus i've tried to make my mobile gap generator to deploy into a building (the car deployed) that gaps the area, BUT IT NEVER WORKS and i don't know what's the matter... Sad

if u guys want i can show u the INI but i've putten the DeploysInto and the Deployer codes in the vehicle and the UndeploysInto code in the building, so it should work...
so I think that these codes just work if the building has the Intro animation. am I wrong?

1) There's no possible to make a mobile gap generator that doesn't need to deploy into a building. Only buildings can use GAPGENERATOR=yes/no -tag. I doubt that VK or Pd will make it work on their exe-patches.

2) So you've made a building that doesn't have buildup animation? I don't know if that does work (even you have right codes), but I suggest you to make some sort of buildup animation for it...

You can have a building without a buildup anim, but you can't sell it...

Walls doesn't have buildup anim and you're able to sell them.

Walls convert to overlays. And it is correct, BuildingTypes do require a buildup anim to be sold.

DCoder is right. If you did indeed make buildings sell-able without a build-up animation, then they probably have some tag making that work. Like Insignificant=yes or something similar.

hmmm.... alright, i was just trying to understand :p

u mean that if I put INSIGNIFICANT=yes; the building can now be sold? or there is another tag that does the 'trick'?

its not a trick, you people probily never bothered actually trying to sell a building. next thing i am going to tell you guys is its actually possible to build a tank in a warfactory.

Buildup animations can just be blank if you need to sell a building you have zero art for.

That's an excellent point, Rattus. Probadly the best solution for this problem.

EDIT: I think I should test all of these "fancy tricks"...
