Hey, can someone plz help me with some annoying problems?

Here goes:

1)
I've modded the Boss general to produce Superhackers and Minigunner infantry; all fine.
They come out of the barracks fine w/o chem suit upgrade.
They upgrade fine when it is researched.
But it only crashes when more are trained with the chem suit upgrade researched

???

I'll be happy to post both unit's codes if needed

2)
I added the SpyDrone and SpySatellite to the Boss; in shortcut, general upgrades, and command center in the CommandSets.ini. And added
Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialPowerSpySatellite
OCL = SUPERWEAPON_SpySatellite
CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_LOCATION
End
to the command center in BossGeneral.ini

only the spysatellite works

the other one has the red no entry cursor


Thanks in advance

1) Try opening World Builder and see if it produces an error. Other than that I can only suggest posting the code.

2) You'll also need a behavior tag for the Spy Drone. Something along these lines

 Behavior           = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_Drone
    SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialPowerSpyDrone
    OCL                  = SUPERWEAPON_SpyDrone
    CreateLocation       = CREATE_ABOVE_LOCATION
  End

I cant see any reason why it would cause a crash. The only thing I can think of is the use of a tab but that should crash it outright. Check you havent used a tab anywhere (you can copy and paste a tab into the find).

Other than that does WorldBuilder produce any errors when you run it?

ASSERTION FAILURE: addModuleInfo - ERROR defining module 'ActiveBody' on thing template 'Boss_InfantryRanger'. The module 'ActiveBody' has the tag 'ModuleTag_01' which must be unique among all modules for this object, but the tag 'ModuleTag_01' is also already on module 'W3DModelDraw' within this object.

Please make unique tag names within an object definition
