I would like to make squads of infantry. I want it to be that if u by one ranger, u get 5. I can not find what code to edit to make this happen.

Try the coding for the......... troop crawler

Look at the chinese barracks, and it's production update module. That is how you get 2 redguard when you build one. You can modify that and use it in the American barracks to give you 5 rangers for the cost of 1.

Be sure to add a QueueProductionExitUpdate module too, as it will allow your infantry to exit single file as apposed to spawning into themselves.

That worked. Thanks

what about commanding squads of infanty as if it was 1, is it possible to somehow group them in a way that you can move and attack as if it was one infantry, but lays down fire and dies individually?

[Mastermind]

It can be done with the Angry mob logic, but that brings its own difficulties, including problems with transports, buildings, etc.

yeah, I just remembered aobut the angry mob, but would I have to create a whole new model for a squad of rangers, or could I just have the engine group the soldiers?

The Angry Mob is just a collection of models. You can see this from the coding of the Nexus

 Behavior            = SpawnBehavior ModuleTag_05
    SpawnNumber       = 10
    SpawnReplaceDelay = 30000; 30 seconds

        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobPistol01; Aladdin
        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobRock02; Woman in the Gypsy Costume
        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobMolotov02; The Lady with the hot sauce
        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobPistol03; Skinny Guy with the Green Beret
        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobRock04; Fat guy with the tank top
        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobMolotov02; The Lady with the hot sauce
        SpawnTemplateName = GLAInfantryAngryMobPistol05; The robed dude with the Man-Veil



    ExitByBudding = Yes;!

    InitialBurst = 5; the first set of 5 will not delay
    OneShot     = No
    AggregateHealth = Yes
    SlavesHaveFreeWill = No
  End

So you can just make a new nexus (or use the Angry Mob Nexus) and change the spawn units to AmericaInfantryRanger or AmericaInfantryMissileDefender.
