Help with creating a map using FinalAlert 2

[Sibbe 0]

I recently installed Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge and I wanted to make my own map so i downloaded FinalAlert 2 Yuri's revenge.

 

My map is basically done, but what I can't figure out is:

How do i make a bulding belong to me when the game starts?

 

I have placed several Grand Cannons on the map to be at my advantage, but when I start the game they are not owned by me.

 

I have tried to double klick on the Grand Cannon in the map editor, and I changed the owner to France and i picked the team "France" when i played the map, but the cannons still dont belong to me. They dont even appear on the map!

 

I also tried to set the owner as JP (whatever that means?) and now they are on the map but they arent owned by me.

 

So how do I make them owned by me right at the start of the game, because I dont want to send an engineer into all of them :/

 

Thanks for the help!

Make a trigger for it, with Event=any and Action= 14 change house. The players should be listed there.

 

(to "attach" buildings to the trigger, double click the building and select the trigger name under 'tag')

 

This doesn't work in TS, but I'm pretty sure it works with YR..

Thanks for the quick reply, but I must be doing something wrong because when I start the game and it's loading the map, the game crashes.

 

I did as you said, and when i open the trigger and click the tab Actions it looks just like yours so that must be correct.

 

On the tab Events I have:

 

Current event: Event 0

Event option

Event type: 8 Any Event

 

and the tab Trigger Options:

Name: Trigger 1: Change House

 

House: America (Should this be changed, if so, to what?)

Attatched Triggers: 01000000 (Trigger 1: Change House)

 

Thats how the trigger is set up, is that correct?

 

And when I double click the Grand Cannon I have it set to America as the owner (Dont know if i should bother to change that?)

 

And Attatched tag: 01000001 Trigger 1: Change House 1

 

If anything is wrong please let me know what, and what I should do to correct it.

 

Thanks for the quick reply btw!

Don't use the country names, use the <player @ _> names

 

if you still have problems, PM me the map and I'll have a look at it
