First off, a bunch of thanks to Rider Geel who has helped so much already in solving this problem.
But we are still having issues, and this might go on for some time so I decided to make this it's own topic.

I have almost successfully created a mod that is a full return to bfme 1 except with the units/benefits from bfme II.

The last major obstacle (at least for one of the first beta versions) is getting the main base to rebuild once destroyed.
I have kinda managed to get it to leave rubble and added rebuild to commandset.

When the fortress is destroyed, I have the option to rebuild the fortress, but when I rebuild, it just starts for a second and then is destroyed.
I was thinking it might be a geometry issue, but I'm not sure.

Rider Geel gave me some code to add.
All the additional code added to the fortress object is listed below.

Behavior			= GettingBuiltBehavior GetBuiltBehaviorTag;ModuleTag_GettingBuiltBehavior
		SelfBuildingLoop		= BuildingConstructionLoop   ; Only played if we DON'T spawn a worker
		SelfRepairFromDamageLoop	= NoSound		   ; This doesn't cause an animation, so don't bother playing a sound
		SelfRepairFromRubbleLoop	= BuildingConstructionLoop
		SpawnTimer			= -1.0			   ; Negative means no 'autoheal'
		RebuildTimeSeconds		= 120
;	WorkerName	= GondorFortressWorkerNoSelect; Change from 1.07; GondorWorkerNoSelect
;	SpawnTimer	= RJ_DEFAULT_STRUCTURE_HEALDELAY
	End


	KeepSelectableWhenDead	= Yes
	
	Behavior = KeepObjectDie ModuleTag_IWantRubble
	End

In addition, the code below was DestroyObjectWhenDone was changed to No

Behavior				  = StructureCollapseUpdate ModuleTag_08
		MinCollapseDelay		= 000
		MaxCollapseDelay		= 000
		CollapseDamping		 = .5
		MaxShudder			  = 0.6
		MinBurstDelay		   = 250
		MaxBurstDelay		   = 800
		BigBurstFrequency	   = 4
		FXList				  = INITIAL   FX_FortressCollapse
	;FXList				  = ALMOST_FINAL  FX_FortressCollapse
		DestroyObjectWhenDone	= No;Yes
		CollapseHeight			= 155
	End

If anyone knows how to do this please help.
I just want to have the fortress leave rubble and be able to rebuild like with the bfme 1 bases.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

...How about you upload your mod thing somewhere... and i will take a good look at it? (I might be able to fix it if i see all the files... it's happened before )

[lotrfan]

The mod is not ready to be uploaded.
I should mention that the mod is based off rj's mod.

The only significant things regarding this topic is in the code listed below.
Those are the only changes I made to men's fortress file in rj's mod (which is similar to the regular fortress.ini).

[Ridder Geel]

Well if you upload it (somewhere private i suppose) and pm me the link, i might be able to make it work for you

Hi,

I attached the fotress.ini file.
It is based off RJ's mod.

I copied some of the animations/model states from the bfme1 gondor citadel and changed all geometries to 1.0, in addition to the changes already mentioned.

I am trying to get BFME1GondorFortressCitadel to be able to rebuild when destroyed like in bfme 1.
The problem is when I try to rebuild, the fortress starts rebuilding then immediately stops. It shows the cancel button for a split second.
Does anyone know why this happens?

I was hoping this thing would be an easy fix.

[Ridder Geel]

Your code is different to this:

Behavior = GettingBuiltBehavior GetBuiltBehaviorTag
		SelfBuildingLoop		= BuildingConstructionLoop	; Only played if we DON'T spawn a worker
		SelfRepairFromDamageLoop	= NoSound			; This doesn't cause an animation, so don't bother playing a sound
		SelfRepairFromRubbleLoop	= BuildingConstructionLoop
		SpawnTimer			= -1.0				; Negative means no 'autoheal'
		RebuildTimeSeconds		= 120
	End

Have you checked that out?

[lotrfan]

I have this code in fortress.ini for Object MenFortressCitadel.

Behavior			= GettingBuiltBehavior GetBuiltBehaviorTag;ModuleTag_GettingBuiltBehavior
		SelfBuildingLoop		= BuildingConstructionLoop   ; Only played if we DON'T spawn a worker
		SelfRepairFromDamageLoop	= NoSound		   ; This doesn't cause an animation, so don't bother playing a sound
		SelfRepairFromRubbleLoop	= BuildingConstructionLoop
		SpawnTimer			= 120;-1.0			   ; Negative means no 'autoheal'
		RebuildTimeSeconds		= 120
;	WorkerName	= GondorFortressWorkerNoSelect; Change from 1.07; GondorWorkerNoSelect
;	SpawnTimer	= RJ_DEFAULT_STRUCTURE_HEALDELAY
	End

I initially had SpawnTimer as -1.0, but I changed it to test something because it wasn't working.
