Operations Center prevent ion cannon

[someguy11 0]

I'm trying to make the operations center spawn a dummy object:

 

This dummy object would then use RestrictionType to prevent the ion cannon within a radius.

 

However I don't know how to make the operations center spawn a dummy object when the radar jamming missile has launched into the air (to sync RestrictionType with the radar jam effect)

Have the Radar jamming power chained with an OCL special power that spawns your dummy object. This dummy object can then have a lifetime that matches the time of the radar jamming effect (if that is what you are going for).

 

In terms of using the standard spawn behaviour, not a good idea. Most of the fine control of that module is gone because the 'SlaveWatcherBehavior' module no longer works (fully or at all).

I don't know how to do this

Can you provide an example

You could try to see if this kind of set up works:

<SpecialPower id="ModuleTag_DispatchRadarJammingMissile" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPowerDispatchRadarJammingMissile" UpdateModuleStartsAttack="true"></SpecialPower>
      <ActivateModuleSpecialPower id="ModuleTag_ManipulatorDeviceUpdate" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPowerDispatchRadarJammingMissile" UnpackTime="5.0s">
        <SpecialPowerModules ModuleId="ModuleTag_RadarJammingMissile" TriggerType="SELF_POSITION" />
        <SpecialPowerModules ModuleId="ModuleTag_RadarJammingPing" TriggerType="SELF_POSITION" />
      </ActivateModuleSpecialPower>
      <RadarJamSpecialPower id="ModuleTag_RadarJammingMissile" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPowerRadarJamMissile" JamRadius="-1.0" JamDuration="10s"></RadarJamSpecialPower>
      <OCLSpecialPower id="ModuleTag_RadarJammingPing" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_DeployRadarJamPing" UpdateModuleStartsAttack="true" OCL="OCLDeployRadarJamPing" CreateLocation="USE_OWNER_OBJECT" />
      <AISpecialPowerUpdate id="ModuleTag_NODOpsRadarJamming" CommandButtonName="Command_FireRadarJammingMissile" ReinforceDistance="300.0" SpecialPowerRadius="300.0" SpecialPowerAIType="SPECIAL_POWER_REINFORCEMENT" MaxFrequency="2700" />
      <MonitorSpecialPowerTimerUpdate id="ModuleTag_RadarMissileReadyToFireUpdate" SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPowerDispatchRadarJammingMissile" ReadyCondition="SPECIALPOWER1_READY" />

If not, have a look at the GDI Commando's special power dispatch, for an example of dispatching multiple special powers with a single butoon
