I would like to set up a command button for the Nuke Cannon that when pressed, makes the nuke cannon deploy permanently until told otherwise, aka, pushing the button again, or told to move. the main reason i want this is because i'm fed up with the Nuke cannon packing up after every shot leaving my defenses open, i feel this is game breaking and needs to be fixed. I assume what causes this is when it is told to guard. When they see the target they want to shoot at it, but move closer at the same time like every other unit told to guard. This button will set them to guard but make the immobile and permanently deployed, removing the bug.

Originally Posted by: GeneralManF i realize what i wrote before looks more like raging, but i really meant for it to just be a question of 'how do i do it?' with details as why i want to do it. The reason I offered an alternative is because what you ask isn't as simple as you may think it is. You would have to split the Nuke Cannon into two objects: a mobile version and a deployed version. You'd then add an upgrade that triggers one version to replace itself with another (like the GLA's fake buildings being upgraded to the real thing).

I would just copy and convert the code from VGO, but it's files are encrypted to prevent stealing. Edited by user Friday, November 9, 2012 2:54:54 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I just downloaded it out of curiosity. It uses the same protection method as Contra and IIRC, Shockwave. Like the others, not only is it completely compromised when the game is running, but it's obscenely simple. Rename 0VGO_Code.vgo to 0VGO_Code.big and voilà.

		If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM. I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

And the last fault, it's deployed state is undeployed, I'm sure i can fix that on my own. Edited by user Friday, November 9, 2012 9:20:10 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
