Ok, here is 2 question's without answer's:
1) What are the basics to make a unit cloak when not moving (if possible), make the Gap Gen into a cloaking tower, and make a unit detect invisible units/buildings?
2) What is the coding required to make a Subterranean unit, and adjust range, speed, ect?
I have tried to figure this out, but I have not been able to find it.
And for cloaking, please don't say RTFM, as I already have, and don't say look at the TS rules.ini, because right now, I can't download anything without it taking an hour.
Thx for all help in advance.

Here are my suggestions.

1) a stopped unit cloaks: I remeber a tag, but not sure its name. Cloak generator needs the tags cloakgenerator=yes and cloakradius=a number or cloakradiusincells=a number. There should be a spot in the editting encyclopedia on this site refering to this. The units can detect them by using the tag sensor=yes.

2)There are a couple of things that need tweaked. You can find this by going to the tutuorials here and looking at the subterrean units section.

Not hard enough, obviously. Try a little harder.

to make a Subterranean unit, and adjust range

Range of what?

[bobing]

theres no easy way to do subterainean units, so, read the tutorial on it, theres no other way to know everything, Subterainean tutorial

problem with sub is that you can set speed above ground, and speed to move between below and above ground, but there is no way to change the speed while underground.

also, few other bugs i'm sure you know.

main reason to read the manual is to get the locomotor, unless you willing to grab it from tibsun, its not anywhere.

Um bobing yes there is a way to tweak the speed underground in the general section right below the ballon hover stuff is this section:

; subterrainean vehicle characteristics
TunnelSpeed=1

About the cloaking thing cloakable=yes then CloakStop=yes i think are the tags you need

Also one of the greatest modding assest to ever be found is Deezires INI guide i would advise everyone have it in their "arsenal" of modding tools.

TunnelSpeed= doesn't work though. Seems to just use the unit speed.

[ziggy78]

oh my bad. lol

[DCoder]

Perhaps it's a multiplier?

[CannisRabidus]

Could be, but I doubt it. In TS I recall all units moved through tunnels at the same speed, which is not true in RA2/YR.

[bobing]

TunnelSpeed= does work, thats the transition speed between above and below ground.
