Hey I would like to know how to create a command button for a war factory that accesses more buildable units that don't have room to fit in it. I'm looking for something like an arrow button that when you click on it in a War Factory, It brings up more buildable units. Any ideas?

Is this for Generals or Zero Hour?

Well I figured out how to put an arrow button in Lazar Generals War Factory, but I cannot click on it to bring up the "additional commands" because it says conflicting upgrade cannot be purchased. On some of the Cyber Generals building they have that arrow button and you can click on it to access "additional commands" for the buildings and also there is another button that says back on it to go back to the main Commands for Cyber Generals War Factory for example. I don't know what I am not dong correctly. I have been experiencing with the CommandSet.ini folder for this. Here is the CommandSet.ini folder so you can see how it works for Cyber General:

CommandSet Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet_Micro
1 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaTankCrusader
3 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleDroneCarrierLight
5 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleAvenger
7 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleDroneCarrier
2 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaMechSpider_Micro
4 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaMechSpiderAA_Micro
6 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleClusterTomahawkTank
8 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleBigTom

11 = Command_UpgradeAmericaTOWMissile
13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
14 = Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet

9 = Cybr_AI_Command_ConstructAmericaMechSpider_Macro
10 = Cybr_AI_Command_ConstructAmericaMechSpiderAA_Macro
12 = Cybr_AI_Command_ConstructDroneCarrierLight_AI
End

CommandSet Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet_Macro
1 = Cybr_Command_ConstructUSAMechVulture
3 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaMechSpider
5 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaMechSpiderAA
2 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaInfantrySpiderMine_Macro
4 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleClusterTomahawkTank
6 = Cybr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleBigTom
11 = Command_UpgradeAmericaTOWMissile
13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
14 = Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet

7 = Cybr_AI_Command_ConstructDroneCarrierLight_AI
8 = Cybr_AI_Command_ConstructDroneCarrierLight_AI_v2
9 = Cybr_AI_Command_ConstructDroneCarrier_AI
End

CommandSet Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSetDrones
1 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleBattleDrone
2 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleScoutDrone
3 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleHellfireDrone
4 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePointDefenseDrone
5 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleStingerDrone
6 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleSuicideDrone
13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
14 = Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet
End

Do you have these modules in the Warfactory object code?


Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ComSet01
  CommandSet = Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSetDrones
  TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet
  RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
End

Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ComSet02
  CommandSet = Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet
  TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
  RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
End

I don't have it in Lazer Generals War Factory. I looked at Cyber Generals War Factory and saw a similar code of what you just posted. It is a little bit different, however.

Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ComSet01
CommandSet = Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSetDrones
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
End
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_MiE0_2
CommandSet = Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet_Micro
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet Upgrade_Nationalism
RequiresAllTriggers = Yes
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
End
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_MaE0_2
CommandSet = Cybr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet_Macro
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet Upgrade_Fanaticism
RequiresAllTriggers = Yes
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
End

Okay acid Brain, I put in that code that you showed me just to see if that would work and after I did that I put in a new unit in Lazer Generals War Factory to be with the additional commands, but when I click on the arrow button to access the additional commands, the game crashes. Here are the changes I put in and they are all highlighted:

Lazer General.ini

Behavior = DestroyDie ModuleTag_22
End

Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade Module_TagComSet01
CommandSet = Lazr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSetAdditionalCommands
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrades_SwitchBackCommandSet
End

Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ComSet02
CommandSet = Lazr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_SwitchCommandSet Upgrade_SwitchBackCommandSet
End

CommandSet.ini

CommandSet Lazr_AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet
1 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePitbull
3 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePitLas
5 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePitMis
7 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePitScout
9 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePitAven

2 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePredator
4 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePredator_Part
6 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePredator_Plas
8 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePredator_Micr
10 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePredator_AA

11 = Command_UpgradeUSABuildingDefense
12 = Command_UpgradeAmericaAuxMissiles_UpgradeObject

14 = Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet
13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
End

CommandSet Lazr_AmericaWarFactoryMoreCommmandSet
2 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaTankPaladin
1 = Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet
End

CommandButton.ini

CommandButton Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaTankPaladin
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = Lazr_AmericaTankPaladin
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaTankPaladin
ButtonImage = SAPaladin
ButtonBorderType = BUILD
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildPaladin
End

Now in the CommandSet.ini folder, Cyber General's war factory Addional Command button and back button for the drones are labeled as this:

Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet for the Additional Commands button.
Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet for the back button to the main commands.

That is how I got those lines.

Okay I changed the Command Set for Lazer Generals War Factory.

CommandSet Lazr_AmericaWarFactoryAdditionalCommandsCommmandSet
2 = Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaTankPaladin
1 = Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet
End

The game still crashes though anyway.

Go to 'Documents and Settings\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data' and copy paste the data that is in the 'ReleaseCrashInfo' file in here.

The commandset names are still different, just copy/paste the name to the commandset.

Okay I copied and pasted the commandset names and made them the same, but the game still crashes after I click the Additional Commands button in Laser Generals War Factory. I even switched them around the other way, but it still did the same thing. Here is the reliefcrashinfo from the Zero Hour data folder in my documents:

As you can see, it still has the same error.

MaxSimultaneousOfType = DeterminedBySuperweaponRestriction

Warfactory is not a superweapon, make it a number.

Well, just make a copy of the Lazr_AmericaWarFactory code and add your commandsetswitch modules to it, give the copy a new name Lazr_AmericaWarFactory2 or something and test.
Forget about the weapon and first test if the switch works, if you got that working you can add more stuff.
I would have to take a look in your mod files to determine the problem so it would be helpfull if you can upload it somewhere.
Is the warfactory the only thing you modded sofar?

Well I had changed a lot of how the generals work because when I got it, I did not like the prerequisites on all of the buildings because they required certain upgrades or special powers to access all of the generals buildings, vehicles, infantry, and upgrades and you could not access all of them. Plus I did not like that you could not build buildings from another generals captured dozer because you could only play that general to build his buildings. 😒 I wanted it to be like regular zero hour so I would not have to deal with that. I must warn you that this mod came with a lot of errors and bugs because it was unfinished when it was released. The mod files are attached. I will go ahead and make a copy of laser generals war factory and see what I get from it.

By the way I can't get the files I want to upload on here. They are to big to fit in or the file types I have are not accepted. Oh and I also tried to upload it through a zip file but an error came up saying uploading was denied.

Okay I copied the lasers war factory and I changed the name to Lazr_AmericaWarFactory2, but now the game crashes at start up.

Here is what the error says in the releasecrashinfo in my documents:

Well, i think it's best if you find a place to upload your stuff, it takes ages to find it out like we do now, maybe the warfactory isnt the problem but something else in the mod is.
