I don't think that would work because they probably hard coded the max buttons because they know that if you would exceed these you would get GUI error, so if you want to add more you should change the gamecode.

Hi all, super old thread, but I'm hoping someone will see this. I'm trying to do the same thing with the China Cash Hack, but the game is crashing on startup when I try to add the behavior to the FactionBuilding.ini. Without that edit, it loads and I can see the icon in the America Command Center, it just doesn't work.

Note that I'm trying to actually reverse this and give cash to an ally, so it doesn't say CashHack, but rather, GiveCash. Still, I can't figure out why it's crashing.


Here is what I've tried.

//CommandSet.ini
CommandSet AmericaCommandCenterCommandSet
1 = Command_ConstructAmericaDozer
2 = Command_GiveCashFromCommandCenter
5 = Command_A10ThunderboltMissileStrike
6 = Command_Paradrop
7 = Command_SpyDrone
8 = Command_EmergencyRepair
9 = Command_DaisyCutter
10 = Command_SpySatelliteScan
11 = Command_SetRallyPoint
12 = Command_Sell
End

//CommandButton.ini
CommandButton Command_GiveCash
Command = SPECIAL_POWER
SpecialPower = SuperweaponCashHack
Options = NEED_TARGET_ALLY_OBJECT NEED_TARGET_NEUTRAL_OBJECT CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:CashHack
ButtonImage = SSCashHack
; TEMP CURSORS, needs real ones -- amit
CursorName = Hack
InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid
ButtonBorderType = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipFireSuperWeaponCashHack
End

CommandButton Command_GiveCashFromCommandCenter
Command = SPECIAL_POWER_FROM_COMMAND_CENTER
SpecialPower = SuperweaponCashHack
Options = NEED_TARGET_ALLY_OBJECT NEED_TARGET_NEUTRAL_OBJECT CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
TextLabel = GUI:SuperweaponCashHack
ButtonImage = SSCashHack
; TEMP CURSORS, needs real ones -- amit
CursorName = Hack
InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid
;ButtonBorderType = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipFireSuperWeaponCashHack
End

//SpecialPower.ini
//NOTE ON THIS ONE that I am leaving the Enum value as SPECIAL_CASH_HACK because all I'm trying to do at first is clone CashHack, rename it but let the actual function work as is, until I can fiddle further and reverse the flow of cash.
SpecialPower SuperweaponGiveCash
Enum = SPECIAL_CASH_HACK
ReloadTime = 0 ; in milliseconds
InitiateAtLocationSound = CashHackActivate
End

//FactionBuilding.ini
//Under AmericaCommandCenter I've added this, and commented out the science requirement. This is what makes the game crash
Behavior = GiveCashSpecialPower ModuleTag_12345
SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponGiveCash
;UpgradeMoneyAmount = SCIENCE_CashHack3 4000
;UpgradeMoneyAmount = SCIENCE_CashHack2 2000
MoneyAmount = 1000 ; amount of money to steal
End

It seems to me that maybe I need the ObjectCreationList.ini involved, but I haven't gotten that to work.
