deploy/undeploy loop

mireazma · Soldier **Joined**: 14 Feb 2007

I have a tank that has DeploysInto=<some>; the building has UndeploysInto= <tank>; I set it so you can only build the tank.
The tank deploys into building but the building won't further comply.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Trainable=no
DeploysInto=MGG
DeployFacing=0;0 = N, 7 = NW

Turret=yes

The building:

Code:

[MGG] ; mzm

ImmuneToPsionics=no ; defaults to yes for buildings, no for others
BaseNormal=no
UndeploysInto=GGTANK
ClickRepairable=no
DeployFacing=0;0 = N, 7 = NW
;VoiceSelect=MGGSelect
;VoiceMove=MGGMove
;VoiceAttack=MGGAttackCommand
DeploySound=SlaveMinerUndeploy
VoiceDeploy=SlaveMinerUnDeployVoice
Unsellable=yes
Trainable=no

Thanks for replying.

EDIT:
In topic someone suggested the use of some extra dummy building and free unit in order to make the mobile gap generator work; I thought it'd be simpler to just use deploy/undeploy like smin/yarefn use...

Try removing DeployFacing= from the building

The same...
Maybe it's hard-coded or something? Very Happy

Here's the artmd.ini section for the building, in case it makes a difference:

Code:

[MGG]
Image=GGTANK
Remapable=yes
Foundation=1x1
Height=2
;Buildup=GAGAPMK
;DemandLoadBuildup=true
FreeBuildup=true
NewTheater=no
CanHideThings=False
CanBeHidden=True

Your using the vxl for the building art? o.0

Buildings need a build up to fully work too BTW so try using a dummy image & see if that works.

You were right! the buildup caused it not to undeploy!
But it keeps saying "new rally point established" when I click somewhere to go

Thanks. I tried to change the BuildCat= in order to maybe trick the rally point thing but in vain.
As for the DeployFacing= as the direction setting, it works ONLY if the same value is set to building too.

Not entirely... if you have ConstructionYard=yes set, that takes care of it too. Has AI effects too though, IIRC.

IsBaseDefense=yes to the buidling

or

TickTank=yes to the unit

one of those should work Confused

@Allied General:
good idea! Eva's nre isn't indispensible

@Beowulf:
I'm not taking my chances.

@AprilWar:

@DaFool:
I've just C/P the code Very Happy
