This is what I did.

First, add a "Drone" unit that will be used for dozer.

When "Next Button" is pressed, command set will change and a "Drone"
will be built. If "Next Button" is pressed in the second command set, you
can't press next button anymore. To re-enable "next button", select the
drone and press "Detonate"button. Drone will die and the next button is
enabled again.

very nice! great job,
and I am going to try ur work.. sounds awsome
Oldfaq

[mad ivan]

sounds a bit complicated...

[Phoib]

Yes, and for starters, a lot of the animation (And hacking code) can be removed.

Making it invisble would also be perfect, but would make the bomb button useless (how to select a unit you can't see?)

But it's a nice touch...

Lets see if we can improve it

[mastermind2003]

Shouldn't you be able to make the drone self destruct, remove all the explosion FX, and then have the death enable the other button again?

[Phoib]

Thats what he basicly did...

[Wiebbe]

to be honest this looks a to large a hassle to me too use in the the state its in right now..

from a players point of view we dont want to select a unit, kill it, and then select the dozer again!

maybe its possible to let the dozer detonate the drone? thats the only way this would be actually usefull!

(maybe the code from the remote bomb, from Col. Burton is usefull??)

[ssanzing]

hmm.. I know there is a lot of useless things in this code.
I'm going to improve the "Drone" so that when it is created,
it will self destruct automatically. I think it can be done
in similar way as parabombs in RA2. (Long ranged suicide weapon)
Or.. use debris - like AmericaVehicleHumveeDeadHull.

Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_04
MinLifetime = 0 ; min lifetime in msec
MaxLifetime = 0 ; max lifetime in msec
End

this Behavior might do

It should work... Stupid I didn't think of that...

[CopyKat]

First, make the drone invisible, then add a DeletionAIUpdate module to it. That'll ensure that the drone will be removed after a period of time (I don't think you actually want it to explode, hence the deletion is the best option).

Here's the auto-delete code:

Behavior = DeletionUpdate ModuleTag_04 ; Not LifetimeUpdate, since I can't die. This will DestroyObject me.
MinLifetime = 1000
MaxLifetime = 1000
End

Just change the lifetime if you need to keep the drone up longer (this is a 1 sec living object). Should be the thing you require I guess...
