I want to make a unit like the Angry Mob except it spawns tanks and humvees instead of infantry, but everytime I start the game it encounters an error can someone help. PLEASE

Do you have the code? Maybe if you posted that it might help us debug it with you.

The error occurred before the command button and command set were writen I always enter thoughs after testing the faction unit ini then i entered thoughs and i know i made know error there on account I have made hundreds of units but i think its the faction ini because the mob nexus is originaly an infantry unit

[mastermind2003]

It could be that having the same units repeated causes the problem. I've never worked with the Nexus logic though so I'm not sure, you probably shouldn't have the tanks repeated over and over, and could you also post the releasecrash*.txt file info here. That'll help as well.

cause im a lazy type and all here's a link for you to the cncmatrix forum, a nice complete set of codes just sub the spawntemplate with the vehicle you want to get spawned

Well, I think you need to put a nexus behavior for each unit you spawn. That unit TankSquad will just spawn some tanks like normal (or it should).

[Vanguard]

Nvm I answered my own question and it works perfectly now

[rei]

the nexus is used to make all the unit act like one, much like a hive behaviour, you dont need to add it to each unit, there should be only one nexus for each swam

the nexus is an invisible object, it should be invincible, the nexus must have aggregate health, this will ensure it dies when all it's spawned unit dies

spawn templates should not have replication (it will automatically cycle to the beginning once it gets to the bottom of the list)

if you set exit budding to no then the tanks will appear from where the center of the nexus object is (the center of your swam in theory)

having implemented this code i think it should be used with caution, 9 of these mob units will equate to 45 vehicles !!!! each vehicle will posses exactly the same amour and health rating as it original template, instant tank rush anyone (i personally think that the spawn template should point to a new unit that has significantly reduced health over the original unit)

But this will be in my mod a special edition of my mod that will be given out for only a week

[Eradicator]

lol, a special edition only given out for a week? What is the point in that? Is your mod so good it has a special edition :P And how are you going to stop people from playing and distributing it after a week? Does it self destruct? :lol:
