I had a question about the stock Genosian campaign script. How was it achieved that the player could only select some classes at the beginning, and later the rest were "unlocked"?

On ObjectiveComplete() -> AddUnitClass()

Units can be added at any point through this method, but note they cannot be removed.

Thanks. One last thing: how were they able to animate the gunships(and land them) in the Mygeeto mission, as well as the Utapau mission, and still have them fire. Are they destructable objects with turrets attached to them?

Perhaps you look at the uta_fly_ride_gunshipmyg.odf in the rep side.I'm not completly sure of it(it's quite a time ago that i last did something with swbf2 modding), but for me it seems, that they set it up like a normal flyer, but without a pilot if i'm interpreting "PilotType = none" right. So I believe that its a normal flyer, but in the "pilot seat" you can only fire the weapons, not fly the ship. I guess the flying is accomplished through ZE animations. So the turrets can also fire when the ship is "landed". This is all hypotetic, since i only took a short look at it. so anybody who can correct me please do.

I will try it out, thanks.

You are correct, no corrections neeed.

Are you sure you couldnt just use KillObject() to disable them?

That function can only kill objects. It cannot remove units from the selection screen.

The only way to 'remove' a unit would be to set its PointsToUnlock ODF property super high.

Thanks Fodis, ill remember that.
