I got the idea to upgrade a defense building,but i failed when doing that experiment.
It's like the overlord,but this time it's on a building,here's the code i made for it.

Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_07
UpgradeObject = OCL_OverlordGattlingCannon
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon
ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordPropagandaTower Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
End
Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_08
UpgradeObject = OCL_OverlordPropagandaTower
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordPropagandaTower
ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
End
Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_09
UpgradeObject = OCL_OverlordBattleBunker
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon Upgrade_ChinaOverlordPropagandaTower
End
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_11
CommandSet = ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannonCommandSet
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon
ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordPropagandaTower Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
End
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_12
CommandSet = ChinaTankOverlordPropagandaTowerCommandSet
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordPropagandaTower
ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
End
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_13
CommandSet = ChinaTankOverlordBattleBunkerCommandSet
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon Upgrade_ChinaOverlordPropagandaTower
End

(here i only use the upgrades of the overlord for making it easier when tweaking)
but when i enter the game and try,i found there's no effect.could anyone point out where the problem is?Thanks.

good idea but i cant see where you went wrong
i dont even see any difference
but it could be that like the drones they update there position more often than the buildings
or that there is a fixed place for the upgrades to mount on the over lord that the building lacks

Did you give the building a transport slot like the Overlord?

Hi, SJG. It's me, coolfile.
Please tell me what you cannot accomplish: appearance, functions or neither?
To make it work, 3 Modules are needed, such as W3DOverlordTankDraw, OverlordContain and ProductionUpdate. In this case, there must be a Bone named FIREPOINT01 in your W3D model.

u mean the OverlordContain?
Hmm...i would go and have a try
and to coolfile,i think i'd like to try without the W3DOverlordDraw first,then use it if it doesnt work

[ccs]

you could always do it like the palice and make it so that when you get the upgrade it puts that in the building (make a imobile gattling cannon, etc)
that wat it should stay garrisoned although it wont look as cool
it should do the job
just make it so it only allows inside kindof ship, building or something like that
That way since the building is on land the ship wont disimbark and you cant put in a ship either so it only excepts the upgrades you pick
or the building thing as buildings are imobile

[SJG]

Now there's no result yet,but i got a weird event.when i sell the defense on which built a prop tower,at the ending frame, i found the dozer beside got a redcross suddenly and it only remains one sec.what's happening?
and to ccs,i dont quite understand wat u said. a IMMOBILE KindOf for the gattling cannon?(sorry, i have to say u should put more comma in your reply)

[ccs]

whats comma
and what i mean is "KindOf: IMOBILE" i belive that is the kind of for buildings (i have not edited for a wee while) but essentaly just make the unit imobile so that it cant get in and out of the building and is built in the building

[Wize]

Erm...

If you triggering it with those fields I'm not entirely sure it would work. Considering your (probably) missing overlord contain modules and well those upgrades are meant for units, you might have to change the upgrades etc. to fir the buildings not units

[ccs]

i posted a message like that another time
and it did not seem to work

and i posted a message highlighting that at the beginning of this forum
