Well I'm back again with another snag in my modding progress, I've been searching for a way to have a unit with the ability to ignore EMP blast... But I can't figure out how to make that happen and the internet has failed me in my hour long search for answers. So I turn to the amazing people here at Revora forums for help and guidance.

any suggestions??

I should also add that I'm trying to make this an upgrade from a tech center...


example... (A regular mammoth tank, then upgrade it from a tech center and mammoth tanks can no longer be shut down my EMP blast)

I know you like to work things out after having a pointer.
If you cheack the 'AssetTypeatrributeModifer .xsd' (C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3\MOD SDK\Schemas\xsd) you'll see that it has a 'RESIST_EMP' attribute type.
So your tech center upgrade needs to add a new attribute modifier upgrade to the Mammoth that has a RESIST_EMP:100%

There are several infantry squads that get an Attribute modifier upgrade has a result of an upgrade done at an infantry tech center, so you should have no problems working it out.

Any trouble and I'll provide some code for you.

That sounds like a tip in the right direction for me, I'm sure I can figure it out from there. but wont get a chance to till after work... let you know how it goes later this evening.

Ok, so i figured it out in a round-about way.. actually took me a bit because i neglected to notice the file looking me right in the face called attributemodifier.xml

If anyone else is looking for this info the best thing I can say is to take a look at the GDIZoneTrooperSquad.xml specifically the lines where it states..

<AttributeModifierUpgrade
				id="Upgrade_ScannerPack_02"
				AttributeModifier="ZoneTrooper_ScannerPack">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_ZoneTrooperScannerPack</TriggeredBy>
			</AttributeModifierUpgrade>

this in conjunction with the listing in AttributeModifiers.XML under GlobalData, and the AssetTypeAttributeModifier.xsd in the Mod SDK\Schemas\xsd folder.


should be enough to get you squared away...


and thanks again Madin
