Has anyone managed to get a squad have multiple unit types present without using the banner carrier code (due to the problems this causes with the health bar, etc.)? I wanted to make a squad that has 4 different soldier units in it when built but it doesn't seem to like it if you put it in the Initial Payload section. Any ideas?

Actually try using multiple <InitialPayload /> blocks first, as more than one contain module could mess up with formations/positions...

EDIT: Just checked the schema files and apparently you can use up to 4 <InitialPayload /> blocks.

<xs:element name="InitialPayload" balance:category="InitialPayload" type="InitialPayload" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="4" />
(found in Schemas\Modules\TransportContain.xsd)

Yeah, I tried doing that in my lunch break (sad, I know) but it doesn't seem to work properly. I added the new unit type, set a rank position for it and updated the slot count, but it went odd. The squad was built with 5 members (4 standard plus the leader guy) but the new soldier didn't move from his original creation position EVER and the squad health bar showed the unit at 4/5 health when built :/

Use HordeTransportContain with no more than 4 InitialPayloads, one for each type of unit, and then make sure that your PayloadCount is equal to the total number of units in your squad.

Sorry, where do I find that code? Can't find it in any of the old cnc3 files, but probably me being an idiot...

Use HordeTransportContain...

Are you sure it's HordeTransportContain and not the regular HordeContain?
I'd try with the standard squad module personally...

Then try the normal one, according to the schema files it should work with multiple InitialPayload blocks.

After some more tests, I can confirm it doesn't work properly.

If you have a squad with Slots=6, first initial payload at 2 missile soldiers, and the 2nd at 4 rifle soldiers and you have it as starting unit, you can control all 6 soldiers, but only the health of 2 is shown (or, the first initialPayload).

Build it, and you get 6 missile soldiers, or the number of slots. Only the number of the first initialPayload, or 2, is controllable. Kill them, and you can controll the other 4 missile soldiers.

Used code:
<HordeContain
				id="ModuleTag_HordeContain"
				FrontAngle="4.7123"
				FlankedDelaySeconds="2.0"
				ShowPips="true"
				Formation="MAIN"
				MeleeAttackLeashDistance="1"
				Slots="6"
				ObjectStatusOfContained=""
				ConditionForEntry="INVALID">
				<PassengerFilter
					Rule="NONE"
					Include="INFANTRY" />
				<DieMuxData />
				<InitialPayload
					Name="GDIMissileSoldier"
					Count="2" />
				<InitialPayload
					Name="GDIRifleSoldier"
					Count="4" />

You can't do more than an initial payload type, and the banner carrier. It's an engine limitation. I'm not sure why the XSD says up to 4, but the code will not work with more than one.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

couldnt you just have it like we did with only war.. that when you build say a basic infantry squad, you just get 3 machine gun dudes and 2 rocket launcher dudes.. not in any squads or anything, just on their own?
