I recently finished some pretty cool tech buildings.

1: A radar tower that provides radar, has great vision, and has a radar sweep ability (with cooldown).

and

2: An ecm tower that deflects enemy missiles, or can lockdown a vehicle, and use an EMP self defense mechanism...(with cooldown)

Im planning to do a mercenery hang-out where you can buy different mercenary heroes...
Does any anyone have any ideas for mercenary-type characters?

Im concidering adding upgrades to the chinese supply truck since its so useless late-game.
(maybe Gatling cannon, missile deflection, nuke suicide bomb, propaganda tower)
Any other ideas out there?

I also made a pilot ace hero for the airforcegeneral... An F22 with unique cameo and voice and carries more missiles and has a health bonus... Also gets the laser defense and laser guided missiles upgrade... (The voices suck :-)

Any fun modding ideas out there?

if you want a cool idea(wich i think it is)
you can remember the chrono tank?
try to make that, i maybe can help you on he way because i have an old working chrono tank somewhere on my pc but i never finished it completely, but it works:)
you can try to make it and if you want my codes just tell and i will try to post them if i still have them.

you have to be a happy man, to be a happy man 🙂

If you can find the code for it, I'd love to check it out... I wonder how teleportation would look like in code...

Does it have a unique locomotor or what does it do?

well in fact the code is not that unique :P
it fires a weapon that creates itself and destroys his old version
but i will look for them 😉

Merge a terrorist with a nuke cannon, then tidy it up. That is how I'd make a teleporter.

Sounds strange, but you'd be amazed the methods you have to use.

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.

So Im ready to make the teleport unit... Its going to be yet another infantry hero that you can buy from the mercenary hangout tech building I made.

EDIT: This one is tricky! I'd like to see your old code!

I Installed your code and wrote up a command set for it. It almost works.

For eksampel the tank doesnt actually die in the explosion, and when it does it leaves a hulk.
So its really just a "clone shooter"...
Very inspirational though!

Are you able to fix it so that it works perfectly? Thats what Im trying to do....

thats what i mean with its far from perfect :p

codes like these coauses a hulk to appear

Behavior = SlowDeathBehavior ModuleTag_11
   DeathTypes = ALL -CRUSHED -SPLATTED
   ProbabilityModifier = 25
   DestructionDelay = 1
   OCL = INITIAL  OCL_InitialHumveeDebris
   FX  = FINAL    FX_BattleMasterExplosionOneFinal
   OCL = FINAL    OCL_FinalHumveeDebris
  End

edit: to make the unit die, try to make the fireOLC spawn a barrel with lifetime 0,1 , than when the barrel dies have the deathbehavior module from the barrel spawn the explosion, i think that is waht worked for me then.

the barrel is gonna have a lifetime of 0,1 secconds and when it dies after the 0,1 seccond it will spawn something (with the deadOLC thingy) to kill the original unit

Just FYI, if you want a tutorial on how to do everything imaginable, download Contra.

The guy who made that makes the creators of shockwave look like amateurs. Every ounce of code is highly professional. The guy made a teleporter out of bike logic; I didn't even think of doing it that way.
