Can everything be owed by everyone?

DeltaWolf7 · Civilian **Joined**: 13 May 2006

In c&c, ra, ra2, etc we use to play huge lan parties and edit the game so that everyone can build everything and train everything, etc.

Can this be done in Gen/ZH?
Thank you

Yes, units have a property called Side.

Helix sample wrote:

; ***DESIGN parameters ***
DisplayName = OBJECT:Helix
EditorSorting = VEHICLE
Side = China
TransportSlotCount = 0 ;how many "slots" we take in a transport (0 == not transportable)
VisionRange = 200.0
ShroudClearingRange = 600
BuildCost = 1500
BuildTime = 20.0 ;in seconds
Prerequisites
Object = ChinaAirfield
End
ExperienceValue = 50 100 150 200 ;Experience point value at each level
ExperienceRequired = 0 100 200 400 ;Experience points needed to gain each level
IsTrainable = Yes
CommandSet = ChinaVehicleHelixCommandSet

ArmorSet
Conditions = None
Armor = ChinookArmor
DamageFX = None
End

Yer I did notice that. But how exactly do I make everything for everyone?

I tried setting it to say China, GLA, America but that does not seem to work.
Whould it work if i cleared the side =? Comment it out or something?

It's a pain in the *ss if you ask me.
Because you have to change the commandmap.ini or something.
Everything a building/dozer can build is put down there.
And also I think that it doesn't fit in the controlbar, if you give china war factory USA vehicles.

Maybe an old post for ya, but if u still ain't knowing it.

Idea

Just make the China- and USA Dozer To built in the Armsdealer/Warfactory?

That's the easiest way to handle all units/buildings e.d

Other way which maybe works is that yo do this:

Quote:

; ***DESIGN parameters ***
DisplayName = OBJECT:Rebel
Side = GLA
Side = China
Side = America
EditorSorting = INFANTRY
TransportSlotCount = 1 ;how many "slots" we take in a transport (0 == not transportable)

And at last,
What Fellshyun said, that u'll have to edit 'CommandSet.ini'
or else they won't show up in-game. to do this isn't hard so u will figure out how, (i hope #Tongue

)

Regards,

Alex

P.S: As i said, This maybe old, and don't make a fight #Tongue

Well, yea, its old, but you did add "some" interesting information to the topic...

You'll have to make workarounds by giving the structures the "Fake Building" CommandButton. #Tongue

It's also relevant so this cannot be a flamable bump #Tongue

Haha never Thought off that but that's a option to #Tongue

I did that to allot of times, but i didn't played it for a long time (last time was, when this Topic was post:P).
So that is a option 2 #Tongue

P.S: If u look now on Google (example) u can find a mod with this Subject (or however u say it in English #Tongue

)

I have an answer for this, although I'm not sure how useful it would be.

In playertemplate.ini add startingunit1 = <the chinese construction dozer's object name>
and
startingunit2 = <GLA>

Or just edit the command button sets for the command centers to make the GLA Worker, China Dozer, and the American Dozer... Thats what my idea is.

This is why I hate filthy filthy multiplayer fags in my RTS'es. ztype balance. ztype tournament maps.

"Or just edit the command button sets for the command centers to make the GLA Worker, China Dozer, and the American Dozer... Thats what my idea is."

You'd need to remove the prerequisites, and change command sets on all buildings. The side tag is used for world builder.

I thought the construction units in Generals had no prerequisites...
