I use the code below in a map.ini for use with a mission.

Somehow the transport behaviour makes the game crash (because when I remove the whole transport code (from Behavior to end) there is no crash..
What am I doing wrong?

I also want the policecar to act like it has a turret (fire in all directions without turning).

Another thing, is there a way to change the name of a unit for a certain mission?


Note: I am a bit of a newbie in Generals editing.

Here is the code:



Object PoliceCar


WeaponSet
Conditions = None
Weapon = PRIMARY AmericaOfficerMachineGun
End


Behavior = TransportContain ModuleTag_05
PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes
Slots = 5
; EnterSound = GarrisonEnter
; ExitSound = GarrisonExit
DamagePercentToUnits = 100% ;10%
AllowInsideKindOf = INFANTRY
ExitDelay = 250
NumberOfExitPaths = 3 ; Defaults to 1. Set 0 to not use ExitStart/ExitEnd, set higher than 1 to use ExitStart01-nn/ExitEnd01-nn
GoAggressiveOnExit = Yes ; AI Will tell people to set their mood to Aggressive on exiting
End


VoiceSelect = RangerVoiceSelect
VoiceGroupSelect = BattleCrySound
VoiceMove = RangerVoiceMove
VoiceAttack = RangerVoiceAttack
SoundEnter = HumveeEnter
SoundExit = HumveeExit

End

You might want to tell it what model to use .

Not needed here.
This is a map.ini, so special ini modifications for a certian map.
So you only give the code which has to be diffirent, the rest is used from the main ini files.

So if you only write this:

Object PoliceCar

WeaponSet
Conditions = None
Weapon = PRIMARY AmericaOfficerMachineGun
End

End

Then the policecar get a weapon added to it (the officers pistol), the rest of the stats are taken from the original ini files.
I know, because I tested that and it works, the sounds also work.

The game crashes when I try to give it transport capability.

It might be a conflicting module tag, other than that, is the number of exit paths wrong?

[WickedBlizzard]

Oh :|. Thought you had to add models to map.ini too. Anyway, I had a look at this, thought there wasn't anything wrong, compared to Humvee, the same. I hope someone experienced with map.ini can help you out, cause I never use that ini.

All I did was copy the Humvee transport tags to the police car.
Perhaps there is another tag which is required so a unit can transport?

I found another problem, I wanted to change the Chinese agent into a SWAT sniper (with UN soldier appearance).
So in my map.ini I gave the Chinese agent all the specs of the UN soldier (but with the weapon of the Pathfinder instead of the Ranger weapon), this makes the game crash as well. :cry:

I am confused.

You have to make it an addon tag. Look around the map.ini's, and you'll see what I mean

*oops, confused add-on with upgrade :tard: *

Because its a map.ini you have to 'add' that module since the object doesnt normally have it;-

AddModule
Behavior = TransportContain ModuleTag_05 
PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes 
Slots = 5 
; EnterSound = GarrisonEnter 
; ExitSound = GarrisonExit 
DamagePercentToUnits = 100% ;10% 
AllowInsideKindOf = INFANTRY 
ExitDelay = 250 
NumberOfExitPaths = 3 ; Defaults to 1. Set 0 to not use ExitStart/ExitEnd, set higher than 1 to use ExitStart01-nn/ExitEnd01-nn 
GoAggressiveOnExit = Yes ; AI Will tell people to set their mood to Aggressive on exiting 
End
End

The policecar and van now work as transports

Thanks for the tip Deezire!

They were however unable to unload, but that was fixed by giving them the Humvee commandset.
