Make units unselectable (map.ini)

TerroR · 08-25-2006, 09:42 AM

Hi i'd liek to make some units unselectable so i need to add this code safly/correctly into map.ini my attepts make it crash :P
Also i need the requierments removed to build stuff, liek the rocket buggy requiers the palace, how do i do that please?

Code:

--Object unitname--
KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT

Try

Kindof = -SELECTABLE

TerroR · 08-25-2006, 11:57 AM

So would that be:

Code:

Object AmericaVehicleDozer
Kindof = -SELECTABLE
End

?? If so it doesnt work.

Try

KindOf = ALL -SELECTABLE

then, I think what that might do is take all the kindofs its already set to and take away selectable.

That doesn't work.

Ok it does work now, wierd because i didnt change a thing i just kept testing.
Could you help me wit hthe prerequisites thing now please?
thanks

I think the unselectable is NO_SELECT, and then CLICK_THROUGH can compliment it. At least, that's with regular objects, but presuambly its applicable in map.ini.

I can't get the perequisites to change, i tried this but crashes...

Code:

Object AmericaSupplyDropZone
  DisplayName         = OBJECT:AmericaSupplyDropZone
  Side                = America
  EditorSorting       = STRUCTURE
  BuildCost           = 2500
  BuildTime           = 45.0           ; in seconds
  Prerequisites
    Object            = AmericaPowerPlant
End

EDIT:
Ok i manage to get it to laod with this code but when i put my cursor over it to build my game freezs :/

Code:

Object AmericaSupplyDropZone
  BuildTime           = 25.0           ; in seconds
  Prerequisites
    Object = AmericaPowerPlant
  End
End

EDIT#2:
Ok i'm geting closer lol, i'v now got it so u dont need any periquest to build it, but thats not the way i want it. i want it so it requierst the power palnt. well i'll use this untill someone can help me.

Code:

Object AmericaSupplyDropZone
  BuildTime           = 25.0           ; in seconds
  Prerequisites
;    Object = AmericaPowerPlant
  End
End

...Why do you have the semicolon in front of the prerequisite line?

TerroR · 08-26-2006, 07:32 PM

I did it to test what would hapen with that code removed and it allowed me to build it without any requierments. I guess i could compleately remove that line now.
