Right now I am making a ranger that able to build a small camp which giving a little protection against tanks. However even I put the Dozer in KindOf but still my unit cannot build anything. the button become grayish.

I checked the code for the command button and command set it's all correct so I think I might missing some code in my ranger for sure.
Even I tested out by using a ranger build vanilla building like china bunker (removed the Prerequisites) still not able to build anything.

Can you post your unit's code?

You might wondering why is there so many weird code. I am just trying to make this infantry more like robot or some sort. needs to be powered all the time and missile can track them as well.

Why don't you look at the worker from the GLA?

(you can try changing your AIUpdateInterface module with DozerAIUpdate)

---

As Zat notes, you need dozer modules.


Have you considered making it bigger?

Like this:
Note the scale line

---

I tried with that before and it works however the unit not able to garrison the building that damaged unless full health, I tried to remove the DozerAI to not allow unit to repair on their own.

It works right now I do not know if there is a side effect from changing that. Not sure but will see.

Thanks again.

I think that probably is an unavoidable side-effect of changing it. I guess if a unit has the capability to repair a structure AND garrison it, the game will always default to the unit repairing it.

Not sure if this is what you want, but you could try something like this -

Give the Ranger an ability like the Comanche's Rocket Pods but for the Tertiary weapon you'd need to give him, give him a weapon that has a very short range and that fires an invisible object that doesn't actually do any damage (or something like 0.000001 damage), and have the weapon create an OCL with the building. The result should be a Ranger "building" something, albeit instantly. Give the ability a long cooldown or something for balance so the Ranger can't spam buildings.

The downsides of this approach would be:
- Ranger wouldn't be able to repair the building.
- He could also potentially build something in unpassable terrain or water. I don't think there's a way to fix that.
- The "construction" of the building would always be instant, unless you maybe give the "weapon" projectile a really really slow locomotor... And then he could probably walk away, and a few seconds later, his building poofs out into existence.

---

I tried the OCL building before. Game crashes.
Anyway I removed the repair percentage, bored time and bored range and yes, unit now unable to repair a stuff but able to build while auto attacking an enemy just like any other units.

I think all good now.

BTW I made a missile that explosive in the air at the target and spawn a units such as tanks, infantry and such. Very weird but keep makes me laugh when using it.

I am right now still trying to figure out how to make a functional aircraft carrier but what I have in mind is duplicate the aircraft carrier model and making bones similar to America Airfield which will allow units to stay in correct place and fly out like it should be. The only down side is aircraft will more likely enter the front of carrier and spin around just same way as Airfield (Acceptable glitch)

The aircraft carrier works, but if you want to make it move, you might want to look at the MCU mod thread (there's quite a bit on making the helicarrier, while the method I used ultimately failed, it may work for you (assuming you're staying in the water and not trying to fly)).

---

I am not really a fan of moving carrier right now since all the maps have very less water so I might go with structure carrier first however when I am trying to build it. Game crashes as always.

If you have any sources or codes to make it work properly. Let me know please. Right now I can make it work too but not the same way as I want to.

well, I once used a modified amphibious transport that would use GLA fake building logic to switch to the carrier when you click the deploy button.

If you really need more information I'm sure I can find the right code.

---

Please... Thank you very much.

I've made it work its a nuisance but I made it a hero basically in terms you can only build one becuase more then one and its hard to manage. For the code I will need to look for it... but I'll say it is a cool idea just very annoying
