Hi,

I am trying to add more crates so I can get units out of them.
It is already working somewhat but I can't use the "f" key / second ability of the units from the crates. As an example I can't get the mcv to transform it to its building and can't get mecha tengu to fly, I can command the unit and it attacks too but it just not transforms.

Any ideas what I am missing ?

Here a content of the allied mcv xml file I use:

I know the problem, however I don't know how to fix it.
You can try to create the unit in the OCL_CrateSpawn list.

Thank you, I'll try if I can get it working that way.

//edit
Okay, I have tried it using the CrateSpwan list but I found no way to assign the
spawned unit to the player that collected the crate.

Is there any good documentation about modding ra3 at all ?
If not I wonder how people were able to create complete mods like the community patch or red alert 1 on their own. Maybe I am just to dumb for stuff like that.

Hello,

thank you for your help and patience.

Am I right that I have to invoke the OCL_CrateSpanMCV in this section of my "AlliedMCVCrate"
GameObject ?

Code:

<CreateObjectDie
	id="ModuleTag_CreateObjectDie"
	CreationList="OCL_CrateSpawn">
	<DieMuxData
		DeathTypes="ALL" />
</CreateObjectDie>


When I replace the OCL_CrateSpawn with the call to OCL_CrateSpanMCV
it creates the mcv but it is not controlable - it is grey as no side owns it.
This is what I meant in my earlier post

Do I have to call it from somewhere else ?

I'm affraid my solution won't work.
The MCV that is created, is not owned by the player.

What you can do is to create a dummy object in UnitCrateCollide.
The dummy object should have a very short lifetime.
When it dies, it can spawn an MCV using the OCL_CrateSpawnMCV ObjectCreationList.

Creating a dummy object, using a very short lifetime and spawning the real unit on the dummy objects death did the trick.
Thank you very much.
