Hi,

I'm trying to make the infantry general have a science that allows him to build 3xMiniGunners or 2xTankHunters.

I know there is the ProductionUpdate module for the barracks that needs to be edited but how would I create a duplicate module that changes to the correct numbers when a science is purchased, also could be done with upgrade if required to be done that way.

Here is what I want it to look like:

  Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_10
    QuantityModifier = Infa_ChinaInfantryMiniGunner   1
  End

  Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_28
    QuantityModifier = Infa_ChinaInfantryMiniGunner   3
    QuantityModifier = Infa_ChinaInfantryTankHunter   2
    ScienceRequired = Infa_SCIENCE_SquadTraining
  End

When I run it with that code in there it just crashes when loading and the error is just that it had problems parsing the infa_chinabarracks. (AND YES I HAVE THE APPROPRIATE CODE FOR THE SCIENCE IN THERE)

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WORK THIS OUT!!!!!!

Thanks for any help.

I've been thinking about it some more.

I have come up with three alternitives:
1) Just quit worrying about all the hastle of figuring it out and set it so by default it builds the amounts I want and not worry about an upgrade or science.

2) Make a science and then make an upgrade that uses the science somehow and costs $0, maybe instant maybe not, then have that upgrade change the commandset of the barracks so it then builds two alternative units to replace the minigunner and tankhunter which are identical in every way except the have the group logic that the angy mobs have. Could be setup to be able to switch back to single normal troops if needed.

3) Just make an alternitive barracks

My personal choice is to continue on the original path if possible.

Please keep any thoughts comming in about the original idea.

i just thought of somthing why not copying the minigunner and tank hunter (just with the code that makes 4 or 2 of them) and than make your scince make an commandset upgrade so it will have the modified minigunner and tunk hunter

As far I can see VeterancyGainCreate is the only module were it is allowed to use the ScienceRequired tag...

The SpectreGunshipDeploymentUpdate uses a slightly different tag
RequiredScience

Any use outside the module will more then likely cause a crash.
Each module is a closed entity and has its own defined parameters.
You can't just drag a tag from one module to another.

You can mix different modules for a unit, but you can't mix their tags unpunished... [/i]

that his problem, if commandset upgrades are "allowed" in scince than my way should work
