CNC3: Editting special powers and what units they carry

[APurpleCow 0]

A few questions...

 

1) How would I make it so that the Zone Trooper drop pod drops 3 zone troopers and a ranger?

2) How would I make it so that Nod's tech lab acts as a hub (like a Laser Turret) for 4 Obelisks?

You could try changing the "initialpayload" of the zone trooper squad.

I have not reinstalled cnc3 yet so I cant try it personally but it sounds plausable.

Also what do you mean by "Ranger", what unit ar you reffering to?

By doing that I mean something like this.

 

Original section of zone squad

 

<InitialPayload

Count="4"

Name="GDIZoneTrooper" />

 

Try Changing it to

 

<InitialPayload

Count="3"

Name="GDIZoneTrooper"

Count="1"

Name="GDIRifleSoldier" />

 

That should produce 3 troopers and a rifleman, just replace the rifleman with whatever unit you were reffering to.

Just make sure you get the units proper name.

Also remember I have not reinstalled the game so I cant actually test it my self.

<InitialPayload

Count="3"

Name="GDIZoneTrooper"

Count="1"

Name="GDIRifleSoldier" />

This is not valid XML, so it won't work. But maybe if you make two InitialPayload keys:

<InitialPayload
Count="3"
Name="GDIZoneTrooper" />
<InitialPayload
Count="1"
Name="GDIRifleSoldier" />

That might work.

Ah, I meant riflemen. Was probably thinking of Zero Hour or something...

 

Where is the code you posted? I looked in the Object Creation List and Special Power Template, and the Drop Pod in those didn't have those lines.

zone trooper (squad) under gdi infantry.

 

The actual drop is under

fullassets\gameobject\gdidroppod

 

Which tell it to create a zone trooper veteran squad unit.

Which is just a zone trooper squad with a veteran upgrade.

 

Also read what koen wrote, I forgot it uses xml.

 

Also it is just speculation, the game might not like what you are trying to do to it.

Okay, I was able to add another Zone Trooper by going into Object Creation List and then Zone Trooper (squad). Thanks for the help!
