Thanks for the 12 pandas link.

If anyone wants to try my EA-6B mod for airforce general, you can download it here:

The chaff, as you will see, does not work. I have not fixed it yet but it should be easy to do so.

An idea for the chaff weapon.

If the main goal of the weapon is to attract enemies to attack the chaff, how if:

1. The weapon is a suicide weapon, so the user is killed without notice
2. Then make the weapon OCL attackable object (or at least give it CAN_ATTACK KindOf) as projectile,
3. Finally OCL the new user with the same type as before.

This will happens so fast that anyone hard to notice. In other way, make the chaff user detonate himself, the chaff come out, attracting the enemies, the new object spawned as the new chaff user and ready to used again by player.

12pandas is at www.anus-panda.com
Easy mistake.

Suicide chaff questions:
1) what about object veterancy?
2) aircraft need airfield docks - the OCL-created aircraft won't be tied to the dock

No the drone method is best, no need to suicide the plane. You can make the chaff by any means you like: fire weapon, OCL special power, UNIT_BUILD, even CountermeasuresBehavior if you only want it to work when missiles are launched.

Askhati's chaff if an invisible object which spawns small drones, so like when your humvee has battledrones and the stinger site attacks them first, the enemy will attack these small drones. All you have to do to make it look better is attach particle systems to the drones.

In my EA6B mod the plane can build chaff using UNIT_BUILD after you get the Countermeasures upgrade from the airfield. Since built units always start on the ground, the object that is built is a dummy that dies straight away and OCLs the chaff object at the plane height (offset z:100). But somehow the defences don't shoot the chaff. I think i need to make the chaff into an invisible vehicle which spawns its own drones, like Askhati's.

If there is a way to make a unit invulnerable for a second, this problem solved.

[beng]

Yes you can make the chaff invulnerable but it should expire after some time for balance.

But how does that solve a problem?

Maybe another way to attract enemies to attack the chaff is to give it stealth module with lose stealth on movement, and ask all idle enemies to attack when unstealthed.

[Askhati]

You don't need the StealthUpdate module, just give it KindOf DRONE, with InvulnerableArmor and something like 100000.0 health. That way they fire at it (being DRONE and therefore a premium target) but it takes very little damage.

beng, did you get my mail with the unit list & descriptions?

hi!!

i'm new here, and i think it isn't late yet to do mods for c&c generals zh... i'm currently working on a mod that i personally play based on Armed Forces of the Philippines.. i'm a bit average on codings, but i think i lack the skill when it comes to making models. I actually used models from CWC, VGO, and MEC to at least simulate our current military because they look very close to reality (because our military are still using Vietnam-vintage logistics).. what i need now are models for F-5A Freedom Fighter,
F-8 Crusader, S-211 Jet, Alvis FV-101 Scorpion Light Tank, V-150 Commando APC, and GKN Simba APC..

(sorry if i missed reading other stuff in this forum.. there might be requests like this, but i just want to get involved.. and i really enjoy doing my mod)

thanks in advance for those who will help out my request
