Welcome to Deezire forums kppo57ultra!

I have an idea about helping allies. To transfer money to your ally, you could make a vehicle, let's give it a hover locomotor and call it an "aid chopper" for now. You would build this unit for a certain price (it must be relatively expensive, to prevent from gaining money by "cheating") and it would build either very fast or not (you devide). You can also decide whether it would fly fast or slow, how heavy it's armour is, etc. depending on the nature of the money transfer.

The main part of the chopper: it deploys into a mind-controlable structure that is set to cost a certain amount (say, 4000). You would never have to actually build this structure. Yiu can make this structure unable to undeploy back into the chopper or not. Now, you can sell this structure and you would recieve 50% (is it 50?) of the structure's Cost= tag. Your ally could mind-control or capture (is this possible?) the building and see it to recieve money (and so could your enemies...).

To make this money transfer as tight as possible, you could make the cost of the aid chopper the same as what one would receive from selling the structure it deploys into. Othertwise, you could make yourself lose money or gain money

The only problem of course, is that this method still requires your ally to have a phychic unit around. But I have anothr idea. You could make this structure very vulnerable to attack, and give it the tag CrateBeneath=true and CrateBeneathIsMoney=true (the actual names could be different, I'm using the ol' memory here). That means that your ally (or you or an enemy) could force-fire (destroy) the structure and get a money crate from it. There is a tag somewhere that allows you to adjust the money you actually get. Someone else can tell you that one

How do you like this idea? I think I'll actually put it in my mod right now (for all countries) - it's a good one I think. An Aid Chopper that deploys into an Aid Package - hey, if anyone else is going to put this into their mod, give me credit, okay?
