HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Creating new unit and weapon

Nuker · 03-27-2003, 10:06 PM

I created a new unit. its just a battleship that launches cruise missles but when i start it up it says tecnical difficulties. heres what i did.......

in the commandbutton.ini

CommandButton Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleBattleShipCruise
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = AmericaVehicleBattleShipCruise
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructBattleShipCruise
ButtonImage = SNOverlord
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR: ToolTipPowerfull_long_range_cruise_missile
End

in the commandset.ini

CommandSet BattleShipCruiseCommandSet
9 = Command_AttackMove
11 = Command_Guard
12 = Command_Stop
END

in the locomotor.ini

RollStiffness = 0.05 ; stiffness of the "springs" in the suspension side to side.

RollDamping = 0.3 ; How fast it damps. 0=perfect spring, bounces forever. 1=glued to terrain.
ForwardAccelerationPitchFactor = 0.0 ; 0.5 How much acceleration will cause the front to lift, or dip for stops.
