Hey i want to add a decal/fx of an existing unit to another unit. For example, i want to add China's troop crawler/tower's red wave propaganda fx/decal to crusader tank. So the crusader tank has the fx/decal of troop crawler/tower all the time as long as he is alive. Do you know how to do that?

For example, i want that yellow circle and red star decal from battlemaster tank to crusader tank. I just want the decal not the whole effect and status. Can it be done through "shadowtexture=". And where can i get all the list of shadowtexture? Because i don't know the name of them.

EDIT; I've tried "shadowtexture" with no luck. Nothing's appear in the game.

2. So i have to put that particlesytem name in "ParticleSysBone = NONE", right?

By the way, thank you very much... that's helping me a lot😁

You're welcome, it always feels good to help.
So this explains the code, again taken from the module list which rrtaya uploaded.


		ParticleSysBone = [Bone name  Entry from ParticleSystem.INI, multiple statements can be used]

So basically the code is to add a particlesystem (or multiple) to a named bone.
NONE, means that the particle system doesn't have to be shown from a specific bone, and as far as I remember it means the particle system will fire from the middle of the unit.
Side note, bones are used in W3D models of the game's units, they are used for different kinds of stuff like where the weapon fires from or the muzzle when a tank fires etc..
Example:

WeaponFireFXBone = SECONDARY WeaponB
WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY WeaponB
WeaponFireFXBone = TERTIARY WeaponB
WeaponLaunchBone = TERTIARY WeaponB

You're welcome.
You can change that by editing the armor of that unit.
Example, the chemsuits upgrade for USA:


Armor ChemSuitHumanArmor
  Armor = CRUSH             200%    ;humans are easily crushed ["I'm crushing your head"]
  Armor = ARMOR_PIERCING    10%     ;humans don't get hit by tank rounds.  
  Armor = INFANTRY_MISSILE  10%
  Armor = FLAME             150%    ;humans don't like fire
  Armor = POISON            20%     ;Unharmed by poison
  Armor = RADIATION         20%     ;Unharmed by radiation too
  Armor = MICROWAVE         20%
  Armor = PARTICLE_BEAM     150%    ;humans don't fare well against orbital beams...
  Armor = SNIPER            200%
  Armor = LASER             50%     ;LASERs are anti-personel and anti-projectile only (for point defense laser)
  Armor = HAZARD_CLEANUP    0%      ;Not harmed by cleaning weapons
  Armor = KILL_PILOT        0%      ;Jarmen Kell uses against vehicles only.
  Armor = SURRENDER         100%    ;Capture type weapons are effective only against infantry.
  Armor = SUBDUAL_MISSILE   0%
  Armor = SUBDUAL_VEHICLE   0%
  Armor = SUBDUAL_BUILDING  0%
End

As far as I can remember, the percentage is how much damage the unit takes. So if you decrease the POISON and RADIATION to 0% the unit should become immune to them. I'm not sure, but you can try it in your mod/map and will find out.
Good luck.

The sentences after the semicolons do not affect the code and are just explanatory sentences added by the game's developers (I'm sure you already know that, but that's just a note).
Some of the sentences were from copying and pasting from other codes, so they are not always talking about what's before them, as an example, in the code above they said that the armor makes the units be unharmed by poison and radiation, which isn't correct as they are set to deal damage, but that is from copying the HazMatHumanArmor.
Just a side note 😉

Yeah sure, just make sure to make a public topic here (or wherever your question should be) so that someone else might benefit as well.
