Alternate income

Is it possible to create an alternative income source, like oil derricks in RA2?

It's hard... maybe with some exaustive use of triggers, it could be possible...

Would it not be possible to use veinhole logic as a new resource?

Actually I was thinking more of a building that generates money.

Well, I don't think you can do that in Skirmish/multiplayer.

And with the vein thing, that would only be harvetable by the Wedd Eater, making it quite different as you need another building to get it.

are you sure if it counted as tiberium then i think harvesters could harvest it

It won´t work, the new resource can be targeted by the harvester but not with the weed eater. The harvester will move to the veins and try to harvest it but it will just stand there (and if I remember correct you can´t use that unit anymore as it will freeze).

so no then there is no continuous alternative income only tiberium

so the "building makes credits" is out then?

Damn.... I'be been trying to separate the two sides tech tree's, and it sucks because they both have the same con yard and the same refinery... so if you make a new one for each different side, the new harvester's wont harvest because of the building.

You can separate everything except for the ConYard (the AI won't deploy it's MCV into any new ConYard you make) and the harvester (AI will only build one type of harvester). Making separate Refineries is easy, just add the new refinery to the Dock tag of the harvester and it will be able to dock there.

yeah, i did this tonight or better say this morning :p
so author of this post can use this way for income

a simple missile from nod-cycle that is fired from building
and this animation is attached to warhead:

[TIBSPAWN]
Elasticity=0.0
MinZVel=40.0
MaxXYVel=18.0
ExpireAnim=TWINKLE2
Damage=10
DamageRadius=50
IsTiberium=true
LoopStart=0
LoopEnd=14
LoopCount=-1
Rate=500
DetailLevel=0
RandomRate=220,500
Bouncer=yes
Theater=yes
TiberiumSpreadRadius=0
TiberiumSpawnType=TIB2_12
AnimLow=0
AnimHigh=14
Voxel=no

it is actually cloned CRYSTAL3 anim with little modification on damage and warhead type...

but i have 2 little problems (if anyone can guide me)

1st is that spread is large (and i want it small)

2nd is that no matter if i change
TiberiumSpawnType=TIB2_12
to TIB2_5 or 7 or 12 i always get small tiberium not the big one

so if anyone could help =) i would appreciate it
