I want to build the landing craft from the war factory instead of the naval shipyard because it can cary large things - like tanks and mcvs where the nighthawk can't and I want to use it on non water maps.

Is that possible?

I tried just changing the prerequisites to the war factory only, but that didn't work.

If not, then can I modify the nighthawk to carry larger things or make a new hovercraft unit for the war factory that can cary tanks?

Deeper question is how does the game know what units to build from what structure?

Oh, and one more thing... it seems after I edit a couple things (units, infantry, I can't nail down just what does it) a glitch starts. Every time I build something, or aquire a tech oil derek it plays the 'new construction options' sound. Every time a new unit gets built, even ones I haven't modified, it plays it too sometimes. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Nighthawk: SizeLimit=, probably.
Deeper Question: Ship locomotor, Naval=yes...stuff like that?

Overall mission: Combine the powers of the Landing Craft and the Robot Tank.

Sorry for my short sentences, it's past midnight atm.

It's completely possible. I have made hovering tanks from the warfactory so that is possible. I could post the code to one that I have working. You'll have to change it so its a transport with all the related code.

Well, I guess that's overkill on the code, but it includes all the basics for that unit including the right locomotor,prerequisites, etc. to make it a hover tank built from warfactories.

Thanks, the naval=yes was it. I thought that might take away his ability to travel on water, but that's in the locomoter evidently, which makes more sense anway.

The sizelimit= var is the thing that says what it can carry... I found that comment in the rules saying that.

Thanks for your help.

Now I just need to find out why my sounds are playing when they shouldn't.

New constructions option bug can be fixed by disabling the required voice in the EVA file.

[Kravvitz]

Sometimes it will stop if you fix the Prerequisites and Owners (including Forbidden and Required) for every unit that you've changed.
