Need help assigning inital units...

[fettmaster5 0]

Hi, I'm pretty new to making maps, so this problem should be quite simple to solve...

 

#1-how do assign units to initially start off on a team for a multiplayer map?

 

#2-how do you prevent/prohibit the construction of certain units?

 

#3-to make a unit initially a rank one or three, what variable do i input?

 

#4-and last, how do i make your starting units veteran?

 

thank-you for your time... :lol:

 

btw, im using FA2...

#1-Don't know if it's possible.

 

#2-Have to change the INI, using only FA2, it's a little complicated. Problem is, you can easily prohibit players from constructing units, but the AI is scripted, they will ignore you unless you change the AI too, which runs into a lot more of a nuisance.

 

#3-Same as #2, although possible to do with FA2, it is difficult. If you want to do stuff like this, you should transition up from map maker to modder and fetch some modding tools.

 

#4-This one is easy, open Edit -> Special Flags. Set Initial Veteran to Yes. Although this is actually Elite rank.

#1-how do assign units to initially start off on a team for a multiplayer map?

AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=yes/no

 

#2-how do you prevent/prohibit the construction of certain units?

Usually changing the TechLevel to -1 or 11 is enough, depending on what effect you want.

 

#3-to make a unit initially a rank one or three, what variable do i input?

You don't. You can only have units train at veteran through spying or setting VeteranInfantry/Units/Aircraft is the country stats.

 

#4-and last, how do i make your starting units veteran?

InitialVeteran=yes. Though as NM said, this is elite, not veteran.

AllowedToStartInMultiplayer=yes/no

Eh, if that's the right answer, I really didn't understand the question.

 

 

I just was thinking about it, and if you set the Country Stats for veteran, do the starting units get it too, or only created ones?

Starting units have it too.
