Naval structures on naval maps

Another question for ya all...

How do you disable a building in naval maps? I made a structure that, like the Naval Yards, can only be built on water. But of course it always appears in the sidebar, even on maps with no water. So how do I disable it on water-less maps?

Open your map in notepad. Add this to the very top:

[yourstructurename]
AIBuildThis=no
TechLevel=11
If it's a defensive building, also add IsBaseDefense=no

That's not what I'm asking... I have not made a map. I have made a mod, and I want to know how to make all my naval structures unbuildable on water maps. Or is this impossible to do?

No, unless you make the structure Prerequisite=some_shipyard and pray that the map maker blocked the shipyards.

Wow, I cannot believe I didn't think of making a prereq a Naval Yard... thanks DCoder, I'll do just that!

Or make a gametype that has no naval units

And isnt a ship asking for an navalyard allready?

Yeah, what DCoder said...

BTW DCoder, you have now earned a place in my mod's credits section. Go home and feel proud! Unless you already are home that is, in which you should go somewhere else I suppose.
