[FIXED]Superweapon problem

HorseAss · 02-07-2005, 10:25 AM

[EDIT]
I can get the plane to fly on the map now, but It won't drop any weapons, and when it does fly, only one plane flies on, not two like the first level should
[EDIT]

I'm having a pretty annoying superweapon problem. I made my own superweapon based on this one:
http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/v...c.php?p=207101

Everything went fine and all when I just copied the code from Sleipnir and put in my inis, but when I tried it without making it seperate from the rest it stopped working. Everything gets past WB and the game doesn't crash, I can purchase the superweapon but when I try and order it, I get the correct radius cursor, but I can't order it because I also get the invalid cursor.

The problem's been bugging me for a long time and I just don't know the solution or the problem.

I think it lies in SpecialPower.ini with this line:
Enum = SPECIAL_A10_THUNDERBOLT_STRIKE
The problem Is I don't know what it means, but It may be the problem.

I think I can post just my code, the one on Sleipnir is fine.
Airplane code(it's the A10 code copied and a few details changed):

I think that's most of the code, I hope anybody can solve the problem.

The problem lies somewhere in the either the command button, science or the specialpower... I'm suspecting it's the special power.
Try commenting out the SharedSyncedTimer = Yes.
But I'll work on the code for a week and get back to you.
It could be all the Ends that you have at the end of the OCLs, although I can't remember if you're suppose to have that many Ends...

CommieDog · 02-07-2005, 08:12 PM

Try using a different Enum argument for your superweapon. Any of the unimplemented superweapons (such as that of the Napalm Strike) should have an acceptable Enum argument.

If that doesn't work, post the code for the Command Center.

Mishkin · 02-08-2005, 12:14 AM

I suspect that the problem lies in specialpower.INI or maybe OCL.INI. I had a similar problem with the supeweapon ready and radius cursor good, but like you, I had an invalid cursor. My problem was that sneak attack tunnel can't be spawned again for some reason...or something...sorry...don't remember.
What I would do is get it to work again (even if it means starting fresh) and change things one by one to easily spot the problem.

HorseAss · 02-08-2005, 04:56 AM

I already got it to work, for one part, just the problem is that only one plane comes onto the map and even that one won't drop the napalm.

And the problem was with the command center code, forgot to add it there.

Bump.
