Hey, i was thinking about adding some new random side to my mod, and i had an idea for their supplies, but i doubt if it will work...heres the breakdown:



The supply center is essentially a small airfield, and it comes with 3 cargo planes on it. You start out with 2 luggage loaders [these can be bought] that load the supply boxes onto the plane. After the plane is filled with 5000 dollars worth of boxes, the player recieves the money, and the plane flies away off screen [to signify that the supplies are being taken somewhere]. The plane then comes back after about a minute or so, lands, and the next plane of the 3 gets filled with supplies. The more luggage loaders you have, the faster the process, and they will load the plane with 250 $ worth of money per drop, but they have no waiting time to drop, they just pull up, drop real fast, and leave....



can it be done?

Crikey, that sounds complicated. That's another example, of no, I don't think so. I couldn't even imagine where to start :P

Well, is it at least possible to have an airfield and thats starts out with an airplane, and the loading drones load it?

[Waraddict]

It isn't PHYSICALLY possible but it is GRAPHICALLY possible, how? simple... but only for one plane

the airstrip's default graphic state would be with the plane on the run way, you can specify an animation for when a unit is dumping supplies, this being the plane taking off and flying away, it would all be part of the building model.

awesome...i think i get it now. The plane is out on the runway, the drones load it, and as an animation, the plane takes off goes far out, and comes back...?

I'm pretty sure it can be scripted, but that would mean per map only.

well as long as i can get the plane to be loaded i can think of stuff from there, i just need to know if i can have an airfield and the plane be loaded from luggage drones...
