So I'm thinking of making some sort of crazy BF2 Christmas party set on Hoth (conquest). I have a bunch of code console stuff in mind, but I'm trying to add some units.

Basically, I want to add wampas to the Alliance side. To do this, I open up the code console and type
But nothing happens. At best, though, Pilot Luke shows up on the unit list for some odd reason. Am I doing something wrong?

*EDIT* Now I'm doing ReadDataFile to let the game know where to get the class.
The game crashes after this line.

why you don't put the wampas in your alliance side folder?
and then make the lua like this


ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl", "snw_inf_wampa")

Yeah sometimes that happens to me where the hero replaces the unit. The only way i know how to fix it is to remove heroes. There is probably another way but I dont know. Also leo, that wasnt the problem.

Instead of using "AddUnitClass" try this: I hope this helps.

            assault = {"all_inf_rocketeer_snow",1, 4},

            pilot =  {"snw_inf_wampa",1, 4},        <--------------This
        },

I hope this helps.

If I understand correctly he's doing this in-game using the cheat console, so multiple lines aren't really feasible.

How did I miss that .
Yeah I guess what I said is pointless.

The line breaks don't really matter, though, do they?

They shouldn't.

another tipp. the shipped lua compiler wont work if theres a space in the path.

Not necessarily, but to hand type all that in-game is not feasible.

1) AFAIK, you can't ReadDataFile or ReadDataFileIngame (despite its name) in ScriptPostLoad.

2) If you use AddUnitClass after a hero has been added to a side, it'll make the hero selectable in the unit selection screen, although if chosen, the hero will still use a hero health bar. The added unit will then be the hero.

Because I want to do it all ingame, and potentially so that other players can join in on my Frankenstein editing.

Feasible shmeasible, I can do all that if I need to. -Possible- is the adjective I'm looking for.

I see. So, in order for it to work, I'd need to do it the other way around (Put stormtroopers on the wampa's side)? And also the fact that it is impossible entirely without actually modding the game?
