How do I change the order of the units? It doesn't seem to be the lua that does this, nor the points to unlock, so what could it be?

It is the .lua that does this.

setup_teams.lua wrote:

Code: Select all

    local typeList = { "soldier", "pilot", "assault", "sniper", "marine", "engineer", "officer", "special" }

The positions will always be in that order. Any additional AddUnitClass functions will follow consecutively in order.

You can change the number of points to unlock a unit by either using the SetClassProperty function in the .lua, for example:

or alternatively put it in the default units .odf under Properties:

Well, the thing is, I set the pilot after special and marine after pilot, and it works for the CIS but for the republic the pilot is in front of the special.

Pilot's odf: and the marine's odf: Not sure if you wanted these or the default ones.

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep3_officer")

SetClassProperty("rep_inf_ep3_officer", "PointsToUnlock", 16)

Code: Select all

[Properties]
PointsToUnlock = 16

Well, thanks, now I know another way to set points to unlock, but my question was how to change the order of the units. (Ex. Engineer in front of solider)

The name of the "class" type has nothing to do with how a unit behaves, so you can just change the order of which they are in. For example,if you want the engineer in front of the soldier, simpley change the lua from To this

Oh...well that's a simple fix.

Thanks for the help!
