Why does this work:
Payload = AmericaInfantryRanger 3
Payload = AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 2
I use this in ObjectCreationList.ini

But doesn't this:
InitialPayload = AmericaInfantryRanger 3
InitialPayload = AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 2
I use this in FactionUnit.ini

I'm trying to create a Hummer that contains 3 Rangers and 2 MissileDefenders. The problem is that only the last instance of InitialPayload seems to be "read".

Has anyone any idea how to create a Hummer containing these units?

Thanks in advance
Mzzl, Chris

Have a look at the code for China's APC...

That comes preloaded with troops it may help you if you use the same code and change it to what you want...

In FactionUnit.ini I found this under Object ChinaVehicleTroopCrawler:

Behavior = TransportContain ModuleTag_06
Slots = 8
InitialPayload = ChinaInfantryRedguard 8
ScatterNearbyOnExit = No
HealthRegen%PerSec = 10
DamagePercentToUnits = 10%
AllowInsideKindOf = INFANTRY
ExitDelay = 250
NumberOfExitPaths = 3 ; Defaults to 1. Set 0 to not use ExitStart/ExitEnd, set higher than 1 to use ExitStart01-nn/ExitEnd01-nn
GoAggressiveOnExit = Yes ; AI Will tell people to set their mood to Aggressive on exiting
End

So this doesn't fix my problem :/ since they're only create one kind of Infantry initially (wich is 8 times a ChinaInfantryRedguard). I want to create a Hummer with two kinds of Infantry in it; AmericaInfantryRanger and AmericaInfantryMissileDefender.

Commander-Havoc, Thanks anyway for the suggestion

So... anyone another idea?

Your Problem is the game is reading the last initial payload remark.

Try naming them InitialPayLoad1 and IPL2.

See if the game will read it that way.

Or add a second Payload to the Troop crawler and add a different unit to see if it will take the code...

I think that's the problem too

It won't even start up :cry:


Just a list of things I've tried:

InitialPayload = AmericaInfantryRanger 2
InitailPayload = AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 3
This results in 3 MissleDefenders

InitialPayload = AmericaInfantryRanger 2 AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 3
This results in 2 Rangers

InitialPayload = AmericaInfantryRanger 2
Payload = AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 3
With this, the game won't even start

InitialPayload1 = AmericaInfantryRanger 2
InitailPayload2 = AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 3
With this, the game won't start either

(I've tried it all on the Chinees Troop Crawler too)

Any suggestions?

try

InitialPayLoad= AmericanInfantryRanger 2;AmericanInfantryMissileDeffender 3


That might work im not sure...

That doesn't, I'm sure

";" is a comment character, this tells Generls "don't read the rest of this line"

It is used to add some comment to the INI files:

TurretTurnRate = 180
RecenterTime = 5000 ; how long to wait during idle before recentering
ControlledWeaponSlots = PRIMARY SECONDARY TERTIARY
End
AutoAcquireEnemiesWhenIdle = Yes
End

See the comment after RecenterTime?

Try doing it but add a , instead of a ;

If i remember previous CNC games would read the line when a , was placed

For instance American Paradrop in RA2 you could add GI,GGI,Sniper and so on.

Try this an let me know the out come.

I cant try anythin as im at Camp (not summer camp military base where i train recruits) on the computer there but when i get home i'll see if i can stay awake to try some different methods...

[mastermind2003]

InitialPayload1 = AmericaInfantryRanger 2
InitailPayload2 = AmericaInfantryMissileDefender 3

Was this the spelling you had ingame, because initail should be initial.

Erm... It was Initial, I'm sure
