Hi guys, could anyone possibly know how to make hackers capture vehicles instead of disabling them?
The only moduletag I know of that converts a vehicle to your faction's is in all hijacker's code but that requires someone to go in/collide with a vehicle. Will this work with the binarydatastream of hackers? or does anyone know of another way?

i think the best way would be to use the defector special power that was never used in the game. But it would have an instant effect, so the enemy team wouldn't be able to defend it's unit. Also seems it would be really over powered, unless you could only build one guy with that power. i think the defector power can be limited to vehicles, not sure. |

I had a look at the coding for black lotus' special powers and i think you may be able to modify the capture building or disable vehicle one to capture vehicles buti think defector could be better |

Heres the lotus capture code:
Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_09
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityBlackLotusCaptureBuilding
StartAbilityRange = 150.0
UnpackTime = 6730 ;animation time is 6730 (changing this will scale anim speed)
PackTime = 2800 ;animation time is 5800 (changing this will scale anim speed)
PreparationTime = 4500 ;time to complete hack once prepared (unpacked)
SpecialObject = BinaryDataStream
DoCaptureFX = Yes
PackSound = BlackLotusPack
UnpackSound = BlackLotusUnpack
TriggerSound = BlackLotusTrigger
PrepSoundLoop = BlackLotusPrepLoop
AwardXPForTriggering = 20
;SkillPointsForTriggering = ??? -- Dustin, fill me out if you want different balance values.
End
how do you want me to change it so it captures vehicles?

Change the referenced special power Code:
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityBlackLotusCaptureBuilding
Change the actual power not that module which references it |

SpecialPower SpecialAbilityBlackLotusCaptureBuilding
Enum = SPECIAL_BLACKLOTUS_CAPTURE_BUILDING
ReloadTime = 0 ; in milliseconds
PublicTimer = No
End
So does that reference bring me here to specialpower.ini?

Oh, just remembered; the reason i didn't advise the capture ability is because for something to be captureable it would need CAPTURABLE in it's KINDOF list. It would work if you modded all the vehicle's kindof list, but otherwise it won't.
Using capture would also mean anything with a capture ability could capture vehicles, which would actually be sorta cool. Would make it to where if a bunch of infantry swarmed a tank, they might be able to capture it before it killed them all lol. |

You might be able to code a weapon with a projectile that captures the vehicle it collides with. |
