weapons for mod

Revolutionary · Posted: Wed May 21, 2008 6:19 pm Post subject: weapons for mod

3 questions

1 how do i make an aa Obelisk like in firestorm (which i dont have)

2 how could i make an aa emp weapon, basicly it charges up then fires at an aircraft knocking out of the sky then has to recharge

and 3 can i give a tank healing weapon (eg repair tanks gun) to a macanic (infantry)

2 and 3 are impossible, 1 is very easy: Just c/p the [LLine] projectile, change AA=no to AA=yes, and change AG=yes to AG=no if you don't want it to fire on the ground Wink

This is of course if you don't have FS. If you do own that game, just use AALLine as the projectile for your weapon...

you could use mobile emp logic unless thats got some wierd hardcodeness to fire at enemys or give ammo to unit (look at CTECH) with EMP weapons

as for 3 use a healing particle

AG, the problem at 2 still is there: AA EMP hasn't any effect. It won't do anything to the plane, because the EMP logic don't work for flying things (also jjs...)

In addition, what should the emp do what a normal instant kill weapon can't?
I mean an aircraft that is emped would instantly fall from the sky and explode. So there is no reason for having an AA emp weapon, because a normal weapon with Damage=10000 would do the same.

yeah, but the inf would attack enemies, I think, and heal these...
Yeah, LKO is right. You can also make the EMP effect as Animation after the explosion (it would work in any way, I'm sure...)

Nope, EMP doesnt work on AA... Just working on landed units, but I found something out. If you emp a carryall which has loaded a unit, the carryall will crash xD

^^ Well, I learned english through games and such things... Spelling is ok, but gramma and ... well, pronunciation is bad :p

Yeah, you will get the same effect, but what do you mean with recharging time...? I mean that the thing has to explode nearby the plane or the plane will be too fast flew over it... I wouldn't do something like recharging time, so, that it recharges first before it fires...

ignore the recharging time bit il set it up so it fires then has a long pause before fireing again

>Ps mecanic or ampibious repair tank Neutral

an other question

i heard the gdi apc in water image was hardcoded so the apc is the only unit that can do this ; is this true

Confused

i was wanting to add buildiable ships in to my mod and since gdi have the hover mrsl i wanted to give nod an amphibious tank and gdi an amphibious repair tank since the mecanic if he works is flawed +its easyer makeing 2 voxels and 2 hva's than it is changing a copy of the medic or engineer Rolling Eyes

You only be able to have one amphibious unit to work properly and it must be or replace the amphibious apc. Any others will not use the inwater part of there vxl.

Personally I don't know all the features of ETS if it doesn't do it it's a good suggestion on something for new version if there will be one, and I wish someone would reply to the post I made in the ETS forum, it rather annoying that I have done everything it says to do and still can't get the thing to work.

i thought id ask this too
i want to give gdi a weed eater it works the same as the nod version but the building stores more but because all it gives gdi is a nother bomber i was wondering if its posiable to have silos that get filled with the harvested weed

the weed/vain dosent count for any thing just fills up silos

is this posible or should i think this mod threw with the rules in front of me Laughing

it won't work, and only use the quote tags for stuff other people say please...

AFAIK you can only have one weed eater and it can only have one value as to how much weed it needs, but I'm an RA2/YR modder. TS isn't my secene...
