Please help, growing buildings (TibSun)

I know this may sound crazy but is there anyway to make buildings grow from buildings

I know you can make Tiberium grow from buildings, so is buildings growing from buildings possible, using the same sort of logic (with work arounds)

This question maybe simple as i have not played with the idea much at the moment so i may get a defininte "no its impossible" or "yes its easy" but thats why i posted, to save me the time in which someone else has already come to a conclusion on

Thanks for the help

P.S. If there is a way could you post the code :P

Thanks again

I don't think it's possible. perhaps you can make a building spawn an OCL, and the ocl could spawn a building.

Look into some mine field/ nexus logic. Might help.

Do you want this in Generals or in Tibsun?

If you want this in Generals, it's an entirely different code, so you'll have to try yourself first.

ok ill get straight to the point

U build a gadrop and then a dropship, the dropship has no weap but has a charging pip scale (like the EMP one) when it is fully charged the unit changes (litterally) not cosmetically, exactly like the MOBEMP does. However the fully charged dropship can deploy and when it does deploy it creates (grows) buildings a max of 5, these buildings only grow once and are inviso + instantly dissapear when constructuded (i.e. Explode with no sound + anim) but each of the dummy buildings gives FreeUnit=*.* Which could be anything Titans whatever. As they only grow once they will only give u five units (1 for each building), this would give the impression that you are recieving dropship reinforcements.
It would be useless to keep the DSHP deployed as it can do nothing after u recieve the units, so u un-deploy it send it back to base or whatever and wait for it to charge again, and the whole proccess would start over

All the above IS possible except for the growing buildings thing in which im sure there could be some work around
The same logic could be used to recieve random reinforcements from buildings over set period of times e.g. 10mins if you played around with it abit

The fact that im not sure building growing building is possible is a big BUT, however if know one knows here ill work on it myself

This is the Generals editing forum, NOT the TibSun forum.

Read the forum title.

LOL!!!

I read it as General Editing hehe

sorry my mistake

you could have a unit deploy, and the deploying gfx , a growing image. someone 's gonna have to check if what i'm saying is correct.

i dont quite get wot ur talking about growing buildings from buildings? are you talking about building an upgrade and placing it onto a building or what? :tard:
