Aircraftcarrier Problem

Mithril · 11-30-2003, 08:37 AM

My aircraftcarrier won't spawn the planes on the bones. It spawns them on the water instead.

I have, of course, got the parking place & production update tags but that still doesnt work.

Its KindOf is : PRELOAD VEHICLE SELECTABLE AIRFIELD SCORE CAPTURABLE FS_FACTORY MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY

I tried to make it STRUCTURE instead of VEHICLE, didnt work, then I tried VEHICLE STRUCTURE and it still didnt work.

Does anyone know how to do this properly?

I can't look at any "official" code examples since I do not have zero hour...

Any help would be great

i don't think you can make something like that in generals.

That'd be sad since all the models are done........ I HAVE seen a post with this here, Henford said he has done it, but I won't ask him since he either never receives my messages or just doesn't answer.

Well, thanks anyway...

I've heard its possible in the past, but never done, or seen it done.

ive heard that its been done by one or two people but anybody else who has tried it has the exact same problem you do, i cant remeber the people who got it to work though

It's quite possible but the planes would have to be drones that auto build when a drone dies.

Which isn't a bad idea, vanguard!

I mean at least that makes it possible.

I'm going to try and see if it works ( I do hope we are talking about normal drone logic, the one used in the american spy and battle drones )

Thanks for all the answers

Hmm... Nope. It doesn't work as I had expected.

The plane doesnt land.

Is there absolutely no way of getting an aircraftcarrier to work in generals without ZH???

Any help would be s i g n i f i c a n t l y appreciated...

You would have to make it immobile, or in other words a structure, without the vehicle. Then you would have to Make a special plane for it.

Hmm.. so I should add a new object to the aircraftcarrier via an upgrade (grantupgrade, that is) and that object is kindof : AIRFIELD IMMOBILE STRUCTURE etc., and the plane lands on that specific object?

Great idea, vanguard!

I'll try that tomorrow

Thanks for your help,
