got a couple of questions

Post by destos »

i have hunted every where so this seems to be my last resort. ok then well question number 1 how to i get a character(like a geonosian warrior) to be playable unit? ive added it to the lua and i also muinged the sides for it but it doesnt come up. also there are no errors so this is completly baffling me. also another question is how do i edit the rate at which a weapon over heats and edit its firing speed?

alright so the answer to question one is quite simple. u probably already did copy the geo side folder from assets. that should be in youre maps side folder. and the problem is probably in yer lua. in this line:

Code: Select all

 ReadDataFile("SIDE\\geo.lvl",
                             "gen_inf_geonosian")
that should be in the top half of youre lua. if u dont no where this is, look in the geo1c_hunt script in assets. then u have to call it up latr in this section

Code: Select all

cis = {
            team = CIS,
            units = 32,
            reinforcements = -1,
            soldier  = { "geo_inf_geonosian",25},
            
        }
     }
the second answer is in sides/common/odf. just choose a weapon and look around. i would be more descriptive but i gotta leave my comp.
