ok, I have heard mixed results on the topic I'm about to discuss. in the pic below you can see how this unit I am making (called the cyclone) is a motorcycle that turns into an infantry. The question is can it be coded? the slave miner logic might help in trying this, but I don't know. Fenring says it's impossible, but others have said it is possible, but hard. if anyone can clear this up as to being doable or not, please tell.

LOL Cool, Sadly I do not think it is possible.

It looks good but the coding is not possible as an infantry, I have done some tests with feutures like this. The only way that I know that would work is to make it as an vehicle type unit.

[Heero6528]

I was kinda hoping I wouldn't have to... but if I have no choice...

[xgamer]

You could try make it like a SHP Vehicle (like Terror Drone, Squid, Dolphin).

[Heero6528]

that's what I'm doing... but I wanted the unit to act like an infantry... I guess I don't have a choice...

[bullethead]

I started to do some test coding...only problem is I couldnt see what happened cause the shps were invisible.. ... Ill try a couple more test tonight

you really shouldnt spam like that

Image=**** is needed in the Rules if this is just RA2. Make sure you artname is the same as the .shp name without the .shp at the end.

Yes that really wasnt needed.

I was kinda thinking that instead of making this unit deploy into an infantry type shp, use the GI/GGI infantry logic to make the infantry deploy into a shp vehicle type, might be a little backwards from what youre wanting buts is basically on the same level.

Except the deployed "vehicle" won't be able to move while deployed. :roll:

And that is correct..Ive tried it a couple of times. I got the G1 to deploy into a tesla troop but he just stood there even though he had the walking anims and everything..so I think the only way around this would be to make the cyclone a vxl. But I dont think you would be able to deploy the shp back into the bike..

Please do not take such manners here, even the best modders have questions, and this is an interesting topic. Ok, let me ask you: Can you do it?

[poedguy]

actually quite a few mods that i've seen use infantry images with vehicle logic, an example of this is the Mechanic seen in alot of mods

[Heero6528]

yea... but it doesn't deploy...

[poedguy]

i know, i'm just saying it's possible to have an infantry image with vehicle logic

[Heero6528]

actually... the mechanic IS a vehicle that just looks like an infantry... it's not an infantry though.
