Hello everyone.

i'v been trying to make the overlord tank to be able to have 2 upgrades at once (turret and bunker)
but i cant make it work ,if the bunker applied first then the turret wont work and if the turret applies first then the bunker wont work.

i'v tried using (AddModule draw) and (Behavior = TransportContain) to try to merge the bunker with either the tank it self or the turret upgrade (Object ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannon) and it still same issue the turret will apply first and bunker module wont show or work

here is my ini the highlighted text is the one i edited

It's not possible to mount two addons at once.

The simplest way to do it would be make the gattling cannon into a gattling bunker. I.E. Add the bunker code and a second draw module.

You can't use AddModule in a mod. That's for Map.ini

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.

Funny I randomly logged in because I found my making of comic for the helix upgrade challenge from 2012.
Susprised annihilationzh is still alive and kicking here.

Attaching the comic and artwork, I don't have the original code. Use it as inspiration UltimateHelixUpgrade.7z (865kb) downloaded 59 time(s).

Wouldn't that replace the entire Overlord model so that it no longer has a Gattling gun?

Overlord addons are seperate units. They're 'passengers' in the overlord. I.E. ChinaTankOverlordBattleBunker, ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannon, ChinaTankOverlordPropagandaTower

The bunker has a module that allows troops inside.

And what do you mean by draw module? Is it this part?

Correct.

That code is only for the overlord - not it's turrets.

I tried putting the bunker's draw module (quoted above) into the overlord gattling, right after its own draw module; the game won't launch with this (encountered serious error blabla).

Things I added are in bold/italic. The draw portion causes the game not to launch, and without it the game launches but the contain portion doesn't do anything.

Crash: You put the second draw module inside the first draw module.

Fix: See the "End" immediately after your bolded draw module? Move it up above the bolded section.

Also your ModuleTags all need to be different. You have two ModuleTag_01 and two ModuleTag_03. It won't cause a crash but it can cause glitches. It doesn't matter what they're called: ModuleTag_X, Module_01, Tag_01. As long as they're all different.

I can think of quite a few reasons for why the contain is not working, and both of these issues are possible reasons.

Is it related to weaponset? I've added a tertiary weapon to the Overlord itself which works fine, but I tried adding a tertiary weapon to the Overlord gattling gun and it wouldn't work. Are these issues related?

They are. I didn't even notice before but you're using the Tank_ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannon. It's unused. The Tank general's overlord uses the regular overlord gattling cannon.

I... didn't see that one coming.

Since I already changed Tank_ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannon, would it be easier for me to change the Emperor to use that one? This unused object would just be a carbon copy of the other one so there'd be no harm right?

I tried exactly that in the Emperor code:

Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_07
UpgradeObject = OCL_Tank_OverlordGattlingCannon
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon
;ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker
End

The contain now works (there's no button to move the infantry out but I'd need to edit the command inis for that; doesn't show the "pips" for the amount of inf in it, but it's not a huge issue), but the gattling cannon is completely gone - no model, no shooting.

I think it's due to us drawing the bunker thing over the gattling thing?

EDIT

I'm not sure the contain actually works (was playing with other secondary weapons), testing now

EDIT2

Yeah contain doesn't work either, so I guess my tweak didn't generate the correct object. How should the syntax actually work?

Oh, that did the trick.

I know that the correct object was generated due to the bunkergattling being drawn on the model, the contain still doesn't work however.

I'm thinking this has something to do with it:

This is not normal and it shouldn't be happening.

Have you been editing the overlord's OverlordContain module?

Correction: the contain works. It's just the InitialPayload part that doesn't work, probably because this is an object and not an unit?

In my previous testing where the pips didn't show, the contain didn't work, I just thought it was tankhunters shooting when it was actually the other secondary weapon I was messing around with that shot the rockets.

Slots = 1
DamagePercentToUnits = 100%
AllowInsideKindOf = PORTABLE_STRUCTURE
PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes
PassengersInTurret = Yes ; My passengers ride in my turret, that's where the Firepoint bones are
PayloadTemplateName = Tank_OverlordGattlingCannon
ExperienceSinkForRider = Yes ; I get the Exp for things my turret friend kills
End

EDIT oh wait the name is wrong, brb testing again...

EDIT 2

With the correct name it works (tank spawns with the gattlingbunker), but the InitialPayload part still doesn't work.

Also, somewhat related question: is it possible to have a mix of different unit types in InitialPayload, generally speaking?

Another somewhat related question: are overlordcontain and (regular) contain behaviors the only ways to bypass the weaponset limit of 3 weapons per unit?

Is the InitialPayload on the overlord or on the bunker? Personally, I'd try it on the bunker.

Not directly. But you can get it done via OCLs.

ObjectCreationList OCL_BunkerTroops
  CreateObject
    ObjectNames       = AmericaInfantryRanger
    Count             = 1
    ContainInsideSourceObject = Yes
  End
  CreateObject
    ObjectNames       = Infa_ChinaInfantryMiniGunner
    Count             = 4
    ContainInsideSourceObject = Yes
  End
End

You can then use ObjectCreationUpgrade to spawn the OCL. And if you don't want it to require an upgrade then you can give them the upgrade for free (see Dr Thrax's Command Center - he gets anthrax beta for free).

Another somewhat related question: are overlordcontain and (regular) contain behaviors the only ways to bypass the weaponset limit of 3 weapons per unit?

Yes AFAIK - unless you count things like drones.

I'd still like to find a way to make InitialPayload work for the above issue, but if it can't happen, I can use OCLs to populate the bunker correct? Either initially or thru an upgrade button?
