Icon For Nod AirDrop ?

adamstrange · Tiberian Fiend **Joined**: 07 Mar 2013

Ok guys someone has to know this one so I need your help finishing my mod.

The Nod now have large Tank and Troop airdrops that I got working...well at least the AI builds them and sends them in but I don't know how to set up the icon to call them in when you play as the Nod.

I set up the Nod airdrop just like the GDI Bloodhound airdrop but there is no icon code at the GDI Airtower that I can find for the bloodhound so I can't figure out how to set it for the Nod Hangar.

Considering your post on cnclabs, where the help was more than pitiful, and cncnz where none was given at all when I don't post I will reveal that you're missing an entry in the PlayerPowerButtonTemplateStore
(GlobalData/PlayerPowerButtonTemplates.xml)
Copy the whole thing and keep in mind to change the id to something like "PlayerPowerButtonTemplateStore_mod".
(Or UnitAbilityButtonTemplateStore if you want the button for the object, behavior is the same)

PlayerPowerButtonTemplates_mod added to Mod.xml

TargetedPowerButton
RadiusCursor="TargetingDecalBloodhound"
id="SpecialPowerCallSupportNODStyka">
<State>
</TargetedPowerButton

Still no icon when I build the Nod Hangar.

I also don't see how to attach any button to it ?

The reason I had to include this file is because the site won't allow me to post the code that I added.

Just search for NODStyka.

Well your special power is called SpecialPowerCallSupportStyka but referenced as SpecialPowerCallSupportNODStyka
Also you didn't rename the store like you were told to.

Ok I renamed the id to PlayerPowerButtonTemplateStore_mod

PlayerPowerButtonTemplateStore
id="PlayerPowerButtonTemplateStore_mod">

I had to take of the < sign because this site won't let me post anything that starts with it.

And made the changes.

Nothing happens, I still don't get any button.

And I still can't post any code because of this site.

Code:

Use the checkbox "Disable HTML in this post" if you want t use stuff like
<test
id="test" />

btw if you would upload all relevant files in a zip file I think the problem can be fixed much quicker than this guesswork where you might have screwed up.

PlayerPowerButtonTemplateStore.xml is what you called your file

Code:

is your include... you should be able to guess your error.

Also add this xml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AssetDeclaration xmlns="uri:ea.com:eala:asset">

<Includes>
   <Include type="instance" source="DATA:System/PlayerSpellBook.xml" />
</Includes>

<GameObject
   id="PlayerSpellBook"
   inheritFrom="PlayerSpellBook">
   <Behaviors>
      <PlayerPowerManager
         id="ModuleTag_NodStykaPlayerPower"
         SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPowerCallSupportNODStyka" />
   </Behaviors>
</GameObject>

</AssetDeclaration>

btw your files are a mess.

Into what file do I add the above code ?

That's because I don't know what's supposed to go where.

That Wolverene folder is there because I couldn't get it into the game.

There is a lot of units that I tried to get ingame but can't.

I forgot how many weeks it took to get the Rhino and Titan into the game.

No, even the stuff you add in your files are a mess.
But anyway, create a new xml file and include that in your mod.xml
It does not matter where stuff is, you can even put your whole xml part of the mod into the mod.xml if you feel fancy to do so (but the additional maps thing obviously).

Thank You So Much for that code.

There is no way in hell that I would have figured that out.

I will try to get those units into the game so if I have a problem I post my code to see if you can tell me were I messed up.

btw you maybe want to tell commiedog that the issue is resolved...
as "modding guru" as it says in his signature I still wonder why he never even considered the right solution... oh well >.>
