Coding Question on a Generals Power

I was coding the K-Wing Strike for Imperial assault and got everything done except that it won't execute the power. Here's my code.

SpecialPower.INI

Code:

  ShortcutPower       = Yes     ;Capable of being fired by the side-bar shortcut.
  AcademyClassify     = ACT_SUPERPOWER ;Considered a powerful special power that a player could fire. Not for simpler unit based powers.

Thats my code. I ran it through WB and it came up clean. The attack just won't execute.

And where would I find "SPECIAL_NAPALM_STRIKE"?

Thank you to all you coders who work so hard. This was the first time I realized that coding was so hard.

LtZack · 05-12-2004, 10:24 PM

for all Genrals powers..did you add a entry for it into that sides Command Center?

CodeCat · 05-13-2004, 07:20 AM

You're trying to drop a bomb with a DeliverPlayload-induced plane that not only can't contain bombs (no ContainBehavior) but also is player controllable. You need to take a look at the B52 bomber and especially the ContainBehavior and the DeliverPayloadAIUpdate. That last one is essential for it to work.

Immoman, I put in those 2 modules you told me to put in but it still gives me the "Invalid" cursor.

And what INI would i find this line in:

Enum = SPECIAL_NAPALM_STRIKE

Thank you very much.

Uhm...take this with a grain of salt (I've never made a working superpower, out of 3 tries, two with tutorials. natch..) but isn't using the PublicTimer with a RequiredScience prohibited?

Tesla-Chrono · 05-19-2004, 11:44 AM

Its deployable from your ChinaCommandCenterCommandSet, but you have not added the code below to your ChinaCommandCenter in factionbuilding

Code:

  Behavior           = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_66
    SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponK_WingStrike
    OCL                  = SUPERWEAPON_K_WingStrike
    CreateLocation       = CREATE_ABOVE_LOCATION
  End

Add the code above to your ChinaCommandCenter where there are similar entries and it should work.
