Pendaelose put publictimer yes in superweapons

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I wish... Its already there (had it from the start) What else can cause it?

I've created a new superweapon.  It fires just fine from both the building and the shortcut button BUT the the SW always starts ready and does not show a timer in the corner.... ....  WHY???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Possibly incorrect enum.

It could be... I'll check that out... I'll try making it ParticleCannon.

how do I make another Enum? I can't find the file to edit them



Woot! got it... It needed the specialpwercreate behavior, works fine now.

Another problem with that same building... ... a modeling problem. I've made a model I like alot by heavily editing a few buildings and cut and paste... but on one of the buildings I get a nasty Skin problem... A portion of the building was cloned and now that Skin on both pieces is all out of whack... I'm using G-Max

I've figured out MOST of the problem with the building... its not my building, its the ParticleCannon model that is giviing me trouble. If I do just an Import and export of the P.C. all the tectures are screwed up when it comes back out. other buildings don't do this. Why does the Particle Cannon??? The core of my building was made of PC parts, so thats where my texture problem came from. I made another model without the PC, but it doesn't look half as cool as the old one.

How do I make a weapon target the air directly above a unit, or the land X distance behind or infront of the unit?

I've used targethight, that works almost for what I'm doing, but it can make weapon acuracy problems... I need to change the way the weapon targets. I've not seen any decent tutorials on weapon behaviors

[Creator]

There are several ways:

1) use a copy of tomahawk missile with DistanceToTargetBeforeDiving = 0.

2) use FireAngle = [something] and weapon should fire missile that never turn.

WoW building an upside down turret will teach you ALOT about bones and child objects in RenX... I flipped a turret upside down, not knowing it would reverse the TURRETEL aswell. hehehehe you can drop some funny bombs that way.

Old problem come back to haunt me...

Flame China still will not build any new units I make.

I 've had no problems with Cybr, AirF, Infa, or Nuke building new units... but for some reason I can't get Flam china to build any new units that I make. I tricked it into building the missle tank by stealing the name from the gattling tank flam already built, but they won't build IronDragons or the new tank I'm playing with now, but the player can build all the units just fine.

any ideas? Is there something in the CommandButton.ini that could throw off the AI without messing up the player's buttons? Or should I rebuild 100% of the FlameChina scripts? I'm at a loss for thaughts at the moment, but I've made a realy cool super heavy flame tank, I just can't get the AI to use it.

[Pendaelose]

No one seems to answer an of these... and I end up figureing out most on my own given enough time...



but here I go anyway

I've made 15 new models in Gmax/Renx They show up fine in FinalBig, but when I put them in game they all fail to load. I can change nothing, just replace them with a different model and the code works just fine and the game loads the new model... whats wrong with the first 15?


EDIT: Solved, the names were too long and Renx was not exporting correctly.

The Efreet Flame tank? No... its a pure Dragon Tank on Crack... but it does cause napalm missle effect if it fires on one target for more than a second or so. And if 3 Efreets fire on the same spot it will cause a napalm fire almost instantly and a BIG fire storm in just a couple seconds... NOT something would want on your command center. they also do much more damage with the flame than other flamethrower units.
