Hi, i have a question about CnC Generals World builder. i have a "custom map" (well it's not really custom, its just twilight flame with some things changed) but anyway, here comes my question.

I have a couple of tanks (paladins) in the middle of the map, placed there, with neutral teams, and i want to recruit them, now as far as i know, normally, you can recruit thanks by just putting any infantry unit in there. so i tried that, and it didn't work, because when i move my cursor over the tank, it doesn't show the 3 arrows pointing down that i can move in the tank, so my question is, how can i edit it so that i can just put a red guard or wathever in the tank and play with it, or how can i recruit it in an other way so i can play with it

Thanks in Advance.

Well if this is Generals and Not Zero Hour then you are going to need to do more scripting using jarmen kells to shoot the tank drivers. See this post .

So, if i just go ingame, get a jarmen kell, and shoot all the tanks, then i can recruit them? because i usually play with GLA anyway so thats not the problem. ill go and try stuff out.

Ill let you know.

Thanks

You cannot shoot neutral vehicles with a JK since you see them as a neutral faction. Factions that are neutral to each other cannot attack each other.

You need to do exactly this:

Scripting the Jarmen Kells isn't that hard. Here's how:

1) Go to the Player List & create two new players. Both under the Civilian faction & name them, Unmanned, & JarmenKells. (Give the same name to the Player Name & Player Display Name) If this is a solo player map, (not skirmish or multiplayer) then check them as AI controled.
2) Create the following scripts:

*** IF ***
    True.
*** THEN ***
  Player 'JarmenKells' considers Player 'Unmanned' to be Enemy ([Player] Change how a player relates to another player.)
  Team 'teamJarmenKells' begins hunting using Ability 'Command_GLAInfantryJarmenKellSnipeVehicleAttack'. ([Team} Set to hunt using commandbutton ability.)
  Set timer 'Delete Jarmen Kells' to expire in 3.00 seconds.
*** IF ***
    Timer 'Delete Jarmen Kells' has expired.
*** THEN ***
  Team 'teamJarmenKells' is removed from the world. ([Team] Delete a team.)
3) Go to all the units you want unmanned & change it's team to teamUnmanned
4) Now place a Jarmen Kell under the team of teamJarmenKell next to each unit.

That's all!

Ehm, yes, thank you very much but, like i said in my previous comment im not very good with scripts, and with that i mean, i am HORRIBLE at scripting. I don't have any clue wat to do here, im kind of a moron in that area so i need a little more info. I am using CNC world builder, and the only way i can create units is from the tab Object Selecition Opts. then i go to GLA-Infrantry-CINE-GLAInfrantryJarmenKell.

Then i put them random on a map and then i click on them , and a menu opens. i can change name, team, health and hitpoints, and under thet there are a few check boxes contanining: Enabled,(checked) powered,(checked) indestructible,unsellable,selectable,(checked)ai recruitable, targetable.

I can also add a script, but the section is gray so i cant click on it.

And then there is agressiveness and all that stuff, but as far as i know, that has nothing to do with it.

So what should i do? is there any program that i am not using to do all this, because i have the feeling that im not doing it in the right way.

( P.s. i just want a skirmish map, no solo or online, i just want to play against some normal or brutal armys )

So thanks in advance, an sorry for my lack of knowledge in this.

If you are a a very beginner at scripting well, then I'm afraid I cannot help you. I suck at explaining things like this to someone who does not understand it 😞

Besides, the GLA-Infrantry-CINE-GLAInfrantryJarmenKell is a cinema infantry unit which does not do anything, at least that's for ZH. Don't know how it is for Generals.

Edit: maybe you should post your map and let others have a look at it.
