I cannot get the Leaflet drops OCL to work properly due to the
Code:
Object LeafletContainer

containing this section of code that the Generals game engine doesn't like.
Code:
  Behavior = LeafletDropBehavior ModuleTag_11
    DisabledDuration    = 20000
    Delay               = 2500
    AffectRadius        = 110.0
    LeafletFXParticleSystem = LeafletParticles1
  End

Is there some way to use some different code, like the "Emppulse" (chinaempbomb) code or something? I mean the leaflet drop essentially does exactly the same as the emp does...
I have quickly recognised this small piece of codes importance to the weapon as without the LeafletDrop does quite literally nothing when the AmericaJetB52 opens it's bomb doors over the target! (see attached images)


Although of a lower priority, I also had trouble finding the correct texture files for the leaflet drops "particlesystem". The
Code:
ParticleSystem LeafletParticles
wants the following .TGA file.
Code:
EXDrtExp01.tga

Whilst the
Code:
ParticleSystem LeafletParticles1
wants the following .TGA file
Code:
EXLeaflets1.tga


The strange thing is that I can easily find files in the "TexturesZH.big" that are named EXACTLY the same as the required files, however these ARE NOT .TGA, they are .DDS

I thank you in advance for your help, it's greatly appreciated! Smile

Well, Leaflet Drop doesn't work on buildings, whereas EMP Pulse does.

I'm not sure what the problem is, though. Are you trying to port this to vanilla Generals?

Yes, I am trying to move as many of the USA's Zero-Hour powers into C&C Generals as possible, I knew there would be some that just won't work, such as the spectre gunship. I just wanted to know if there was a feasible way to make the leafletdrop work.

Don't bother answering that. I've given up on the whole specialpower. I knew it would never work, was just exploring all the angles.
