I thought I would repeat my question

[Zainal]

there should be a carpet bomb entry in commandbutton.ini add this button to the building you want to use.

[Malc]

You don't understand my problem, Ihave the button but you can use it when ever not just if you purchase the science.

[Zainal]

You need Need_Special_Power_Science in the options part of the button and the entry in SpecialPower.ini needs to have a RequiredScience tag.

And then you need to set
PublicTimer
to no

You will need to put the code in it's specified INI file in your Generals Dir (C:\Programs\Ea Games\C&C Generals\data\Ini) and note if do have to put some of this code in the specified INI's or it will crash so don't try and just put it all in one map.ini or it WILL crash the game witha serious error message.

Happy Modding,Chrono

Don't worry I think ive fixed the problem, when I was originally trying to get carpet bombing working I removed the requiredscience bit so I just put that back in and it worked. But thanks for your help anyway.
