Adding the new NukeTruck

Tesla-Chrono · 06-06-2003, 12:11 PM

Can anyone brifely tell me how to add the NukeTruck to the GLA side please. The NukeTruck is the one in the gla mission 6, where it is stolen from the chinese.

I would imagine i would have to edit factionunit & commandset?
Any help would be apprecited or if i could be pointed in the right direction or if someone already has the script i would apprecite that also, it would be for my own benifit so dont worry.. i dont make mods (public ones anyway)

Thnx in advance.

P.S yes i have serached the net and forums for this topic or info on it.

Did you only search for that specific example of editing a unit's attributes (buildable)?

yes and i looked through Deezires ini files, in his ini files the info on them is there but i tried to copy elements of it over but it just gave me tech problems.

yes and i looked through.....

If you only searched for that specific instance then you should try looking for that topic in general, not applied only to the bomb truck. If you're lucky though, an ini coder might find this thread and just give you the answer anyway.

I looked for "nuke", "truck", "china truck" and many more, looks like i may just have wait for an ini coder to help out.
Oh well.

Thanks anyways.

Well, normal bomb truck works something like this: when you tell it to attack, it fires a weapon that kills itself - and only itself - instantly. It then has extra lines of code that tells the unit to fire a certain weapon once dead. That way, you can just copy the existing bombtruck, and simply change it's deathweapon.

wouldnt i also have to edit some other files and not just that one?
I'm new to ini coding and i dont wanna balls up my game.

I've only successfully edited, locomotor, weapon, upgrade and special weapon.ini and some minor parts of factionunit and factionbuilding
