Oil Derrick only gives $$$ if you have a supply center.

Can this be done?

I think that's not possible :/

You could do it, but then you would have to sacrifice the power system by making the supply center provide power and make the tech buildings require power. However, you would need to have all your other buildings not use/generate power.

Thanks, that really doesn't work too well for what i want though, what i was trying to do was make an Ore Purifier type thing.

Would upgrades like the supplylines upgrade work there?
Like have the Purifier grant an upgrade on creation then remove it when sold or destroyed?

Check the drone code to find out how to remove the upgrade and supplylines upgrade does effect oil derricks, check the module for autogeneration of money. I actually don't have zh installed since im low on hd space, otherwise I would check for you.

Ok, thanks. It seems to be simple enough.

Simple, but the code I use doesn't work:

Behavior = GrantUpgradeCreate ModuleTag_97
UpgradeToGrant = Upgrade_AmericaSupplyLines
ExemptStatus = UNDER_CONSTRUCTION
End

Behavior = UpgradeDie ModuleTag_99
;This frees the object based upgrade for the producer object.
DeathTypes = ALL
UpgradeToRemove = Upgrade_AmericaSupplyLines ModuleTag_98
End

When the building is sold or destroyed the upgrade doesn't deactivate, so I still get the bonus supply value.

try to change the Upgrade_AmericaSupplyLines from PLAYER_UPGRADE to OBJECT_UPGRADE.

NukeWinter · 07-25-2005, 05:05 PM

Ok, one question though, would that cause it only to affect the Strat. Center or not?

EDIT: Yea, it has no effect on anything now, this might be a dead end.

Well, since this isn't working too well; is it possible to have a supply gatherer that can only dock at one resoure building, like chinnoks only dock at American Supply Center, Chinese Supply Trucks only dock at Chinese supply center, GLA Worker only dock at Supply Stash?

Soviet_Deso · 07-26-2005, 08:20 PM

chinooks, supply trucks and workers can dock at any supply center it doesnt matter if its american or chinese or gla supply stash as long as ure building has FS_SUPPLY_CENTER i think its that ,i'm prety sure, so any thing that gatters can dock at it so it wont work ether :/
