Adding more units!

maxburg96 · Post by **maxburg96** » Tue May 09, 2006 4:35 pm

Ive created a very simple map and I want to have a buttload of units fighting on it at the same time. Ive edited the proper script files and my reinforcement number goes up properly but there are still only 32 units per side on the battlefield. Im new so any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

myTeamConfig = {
all = {
team = ALL,
units = 32,
reinforcements = -1,
pilot = { "all_inf_pilot",23},
marine = { "all_inf_marine",6},
special = { "all_inf_wookiee", 3},

},

imp = {
team = IMP,
units = 32,
reinforcements = -1,
pilot = { "imp_inf_pilot",20},
marine = { "imp_inf_marine",6},
officer = { "imp_inf_officer", 3},
special = { "imp_inf_dark_trooper", 3},
}

change the bolded numbers

hmmmm, i did that. i just added a zero behind each of the default numbers, but i certainly didnt have 500 units on the battlefield.

I do believe there is a limit on that.

look up Uber mode

There didnt seem to be a limit in the Hypori: Grievous Attacks map. There were droids coming from everywhere. What the heck is uber mode? Thanks for the replies so far.

from what ive been able to uncover uber mode simply takes away restrictions that normally serve as a performance buffer.

So basically, you have uber (or almost) controls over things such as unit count and teams

Use search.

TIP: Okay, you guys probably already know this, but, for more playable unit classes on a ground map, just add the marine and pilot class to it.

Have you tried that? Typically my experience has been that it replaces the engineer and rifleman. It's much easier just to put AddUnitClass([sidename], "[odf name]", [min],[max])

be sure to check with the tatooine lua to see how to properly add units (its set up sort of differently, and if done wrong it can cause crashes and just all around problems)

By default, you can use some or all of "soldier", "pilot", "assault", "sniper", "marine", "engineer", "officer", and "special" with SetupTeams.
You can edit setup_teams.lua and make it take whatever you want. Just remember max of 10 unit classes per team.

Figured out how to use UberMode maxburg96?

its 12, not 10 lol

off topic: you can only view/select 10 units (shortcut keys 1 through 0 ) in the spawn screen. If you don't believe me, read ifs_pc_spawnselect.lua. You can mod it to show more unit selection buttons, but the game won't use them.
