The idea behind it is it builds infantry and acts like a defensive structure for the human wave tactics of China. The problem is that everytime I build it, it sells and a civilian pops out, I commented the build stuff out but it still doesn't work, can anyone help me?

I'm now using he unsellable code line to see if it actually works...

I take it you will change TechLevel to alittle bigger then -1 before you run the game?

I have tried to do this same thing but with french barracks. Never got the phenomenon though of having it selling on me when i've build it, 'cause you ARE building it right, not just spawning it from something else? I was thinking of your TechLevel = -1 there.

Anyway, in my attempt i found that once you succeed in building it, produce soldiers and occupy the building you won't be able to abandon the building again since it's a producing structure. First when you have more then one building you will be able to order the soldiers to abandon the building, unless the building in question is the primary one, but then you will also at the same time change the building to be the primary in production.

I've killed alot of the barracks coding because I haven't incorporated it into the game, I'm just making it be garrisonable for now.

Well this is China, if oyu dont' build infantry with china, then... don't play China. The Chiense barracks is probably the msot important chinese structure. Since it is their defensive structure, they get to build two at the same time. It's jsut one of those fun things with China...


Anyway, it dtill doesn't work, it automatically changes to civilian faction and sells off...

[OneWingedAngel]

I still can't get it to work, can I see your coding?

[SiliconCore]

Have you tried to change your declarationtag from [NAHAND] to something else ...say like, [NACHBAR] or something like that? Just so you don't run into some hardcoded conflicts or something. I dunno, much of all the old lingering TS-stuff is reused for other functions or disabled i've learned. I try to stay away from it as much as possible. Better to make a new declaration or edit an existing RA2 one.

Okay, cool.
