I tried to finish up the rest of the gla vehicles so that they could salvage, but there are some things that I couldn't fix with the Radar Van, even though I got its reveal to upgrade.

1: When the Van uses its Reveal thing, the animations on it goes faster all of a sudden, in other words, the radar dish goes spinning out of control and the beep light goes on/off too fast, permanently. I don't know why the animations would speed up just for firing a weapon.

2: When I select the reveal there is no cursor anymore, I checked to make sure in commandbutton that "RadiusCursorType = RADAR" was in there, but I still don't know why it won't show up. I've even tried switching it to another cursor type and it still won't show, it just has the attack cursor.

3: When I use the Reveal it will fire, reveal, and then wait for its timer to complete, then it will fire again. I want it to stop after 1 shot so you manually have to fire it every time. I checked the rocket pods for the comanche. they do this but I can't figure out why.

Any help on these would be greatly appreciated because I almost have all the gla salvages done except this one.

Hey i dont know how to help you right of the bat, but yeah like you said i think you need to take a better look at how the radar van looks.

He do you actually have new models for the salvaging?
Because if you do would you be so kind to release them or anything? cause who doesn't want the GLA to be a scrap yard people :lol: ?

Answering your questions.

1. Did you make it an attack Command!?!?!
anywho i dont know what this is causing.

2. You cant have it like that because it needs to be done by the special power template's i believe. Did you make it an weapon or a specialpower?

3. No the comanche does not stop firing, it will also fire after 30 seconds another batch of missiles at the same target. Its just that most people have moved their comanche atleast once by then. So youll almost never see it happening

Its been ages since I bothred with any of this, but I can take a guess at the speed change in the animation.

I can only guess that the Van is switching from the original conditionstate to a new one you've created. The new state probably has a different set of numbers (or none at all) at the end of the 'animation' line in the ini.

I'm guessing this because those numbers control the frame rate of the animations as they play, if you change them you can change the speed that the animations on a model will play.

That still may not be your answer, but it's a good place to start looking

Ah its ok. I fixed the spinning problem by getting rid of the animations altogether, and updating the models. I guess I'll have to live with the problem of auto firing over and over, but if the base is constantly being revealed every 30 seconds thats not bad is it?

But the radius cursor I still have no clue, what did you mean by attack command? Anyway:

CommandButton Command_RadarVanScanner
Command = FIRE_WEAPON
WeaponSlot = PRIMARY
Options = OK_FOR_MULTI_SELECT NEED_TARGET_POS
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:RadarVanScan
ButtonImage = SSRadarVanScan
ButtonBorderType = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipFireRadarVanScan
RadiusCursorType = RADAR
InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid
UnitSpecificSound = RadarVanVoiceAttack
End

Neither does RadiusCursorType = ATTACK_SCATTER_AREA(rocketpods)

And it does have new salvage models, it just starts off with a blank back and then as it gains parts it upgrades the towerbase and tower.
