question from n00b

Is there any way to make a building that instantly destroyed after it's build but still release unit iff it has FreeUnit?

How to resize infantry to make it smaller?(like Mental omega)

Question1 multiple answers.

1. Make it a base defense type. Give it an air burst weapon, Make all projectiles invisible, make it areafire and kill itself. "delayed Kill"

2. Give it a suicide weapon with a fake weapon. Instant Death.

Not I've never tried giving a Freeunit tag to a suicide building.

However I've created buildings that can be placed anywhere on map, are invisible, commit sucide, and use a animation to create a Super weapon like effect with an areafire weapon. Basically landmines.

I've theorized, but never tried it yet, that giving a freeunit tag, and then giving it a chrono anim with a suicide weapon that does no damage with areafire should also be possible. Creating the illsuion of getting a free tank chronoed in.

Your second Question. Address it to a modder more versed in the subject matter, as my modding experience in the art department is low.

for the shp resize, just use Shp editor and go to edit :p there is a resize option there.

use xcc mixer for resizing the infantry. you cant resize the file if its in a mix so be sure to extract it first
edit: or you can use shp builder as wardeathfun mentioned #Tongue

Give the building in artmd a fake animation e.g.

ActiveAnim=KILLME

[KILLME]
Damage=999999

It will kill the building upon being place.

and [KILLME] is weapon? animation? in rules or art?

its a animation in art but you don't need a shp file, just make sure you listed it under [Animations] in rules

its a variation of the old mad tank tutorial trick
