Hi

I nearly finished my mod, only one thing is misssing - but as usual, that seems to be the hardest:

I want to change the Computer Counter Measures from the Nod temple to a real player power with a button on the left side.

But right now, the button apears nowhere, not on the left side nor in the HUD :/

I removed it from UnitAbilityButtonTemplates and added it to PlayerPowerButtonTemplates:
(I changed the IDs of both files)

<PowerButton
				id="SpecialPowerComputerCounterMeasures">
				<State
					Image="SpecialPowerComputerCounterMeasures"
					Title="NAME:PlayerPowerComputerCounterMeasures"
					TypeDescription="TYPE:PlayerPowerComputerCounterMeasures"
					Description="DESC:PlayerPowerComputerCounterMeasures" />
			</PowerButton>

I also added it to logicCommand and Logiccommandset.xml (note: I changed the buttonname):

<LogicCommand
		Type="SPECIAL_POWER"
		id="Command_TempleOfNodCounterMeasures">
		<SpecialPower>SpecialPowerComputerCounterMeasures</SpecialPower>
	</LogicCommand>


		id="NODTempleOfNODCommandSet">
		<Cmd>Command_TempleOfNodCounterMeasures</Cmd>

		id="PlayerSpellBookCommandSet">
		<Cmd>Command_TempleOfNodCounterMeasures</Cmd>

and I changed the "CommandButtonName" in the AISpecialPowerUpdate for the tempel...

But It wont show up


What did I wrong?

Just to make sure, do you want it as normal player power (like Catalyst Missile, Tib Seed, etc) or as a superweapon (NuclearMissile)?

In the first case you'll probably only need to edit the SpecialPowerTemplate entry and make sure the attribute Flags contains IS_PLAYER_POWER (and maybe you'll also want SHARED_SYNC).

In the second case, well, you'd need to add a good deal of other stuff

[Stygs]

as a player power, like catalyst and radar jamming missile

Still wont work :/

<SpecialPowerTemplate
		id="SpecialPowerComputerCounterMeasures"
		Flags="IS_PLAYER_POWER SHARED_SYNC WATER_OK"
		ReloadTime="30s"
		TargetType="NONE"
		InitiateSound="NOD_MasterComputerCountermeasures"
		Money="-1500"/>

Try adding a PlayerPowerManager block for it in System\PlayerSpellBook.xml.
