I'm new to ZH modding so I decided for my first project to make the pilot a buildable unit. Everything worked fine except for the Cost\build time. In the game the unit had no cost! :/ Can someone tell me where the coding mistake is?

Here is the code:

Sorry about posting all the code since I'm new I don't know which part is needed
Thanks in advance.

Try putting a 400.0 in maybe?

[mastermind2003]

You're missing an end on the prerequisites section.

[CodeCat]

Yep, that's it. I'm VERY surprised the game didn't catch that itself though...

[mastermind2003]

It looks like more or less all of the stuff that was lost without that end was not critical, and the game just didn't need it. It's a bit odd, but I guess strange things can happen.

[CodeCat]

The game reads everything, not just the stuff it's made to read. Like PHP (you'd know that ). So any typos or errors in settings and flags (the things before the = ) immediately cause a parse error.

[mastermind2003]

Yeah. I realize that, but there are some flags that either have defaults, or are not required. Most of the engineering settings are that way. There might be something else, but I don't know.

I added the End to the prerequisites section and it still didn't work, here is the updated code:

 ; ***DESIGN parameters ***
  DisplayName = OBJECT:Pilot
  Side = America
  EditorSorting = INFANTRY
  TransportSlotCount  = 1                 ;how many "slots" we take in a transport (0 == not transportable)
  VisionRange         = 150
  ShroudClearingRange = 300

     Object = AmericaBarracks
     Object = AmericaWarFactory AmericaAirfield
  End
  BuildCost = 400
  BuildTime = 10.0          ;in seconds    

  ExperienceValue    = 10 10 10 10 ;Experience point value at each level
  ExperienceRequired =  0 1 2 3 ;Experience points needed to gain each level
  IsTrainable     = Yes  ;Can gain experience
  CommandSet = AmericaInfantryPilotCommandSet

   ArmorSet
    Conditions      = None
    Armor           = HumanArmor
    DamageFX        = InfantryDamageFX
  End

  CrushableLevel    = 0  ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles

[CodeCat]

:wtf:

Ok, did you even put the INI file in the right place? Try changing the health or something else significantly and see if that DOES work.

[GametagAeonFlux]

Put the INI in your Zero Hour->Data->INI folder.
