Ok so i want to make a map where each player starts at their own little island but cant build on it but can take their dozer and put it in a ferry or something transportable, but the problem is,

1)is that when i put a ferry down whether its neutral or playercitizen, it acts like it cant get into it whether i rotate it around,

2) i want to make a gattling gun captureable but dont know how, again even as neutral or plyrcitizen... i used rangers, black lotus, and they cant seem to capture but will target....



thanks in advance

1. i have never seen a multiplayer map with a working ferry so i doubt its a easy to get them to work without bugs.

2. you cant capture defense buildings. you can only make those buildings unmanned, read this:

you can transfer building to a player, make it unmanned or just spawn it but it is impossible to capture any non-civilian defense structure. but you can capture Artillery platforms

so basically as long as it belongs to a military faction u cant, but the civilian ones u can... ok i appreciate the feedbacks, would anyone of you know what i could use to transport across a small river? or if not, what about using air transport, if there is any!?!? i was hoping to make it balanced, that u wouldnt have to use a certain military groups vehicle if ur group if dif (for example: chinese helix if ur gonna be USA,..)

or this might make since, ok, what about if the ferry is like on neither team or something like the ferry, but like u can make it on a waypoint to transport then when u load it back up it will take u straight back to the starting island.. i know im a burden but i used to be good at doing things with this game but havent done it in over 6 yrs

No, you cannot capture ANY kind of defense, civilian or not. The only building you can capture and can be called a defense is the artillery platform, but even if your enemy captured it you can take it from him.
Civilian defense->uncapturable
enemy defense->uncapturable
civilian artillery platform->capturable
enemy artillery platform->capturable




I advice don't use a ferry, its way too hard to program it (i think it is, never tried), instead you may use a script to give all factions ability to build chinook or helix or put an unmanned chinook on every island so player can take it and use the transport across water (chinnok and helix transport units). I suggest unmanned chinook thing.
