Hi

I am making my first map.I need to know how to get my Command Center facing the right way. Instead of been on a angle and the front facing the wrong way it need to face the road. If someone can explain me how to do it or. I can unload my map to the sight and someone can fix that for me. But the map is not completely finish. Thank you.

Click and hold when placing it and move the mouse to give it an angle, or use the object proptery box  to manually do it.

Hi fleetatks
I am talking about the start player position when you play in the game.I did put any Command Center it appears by itself when you play. What your telling me I already know that and your object property box dont look the same as the one i got maybe its a different virsion of world builder . Do I have to install a command center the first time so the game knows where the command center has to be when people play the game. By the way this is a multiplayer map.I hope this help. Thank you.

Well if they all have to be rotated the exact same way then You might be able to use this code in a map.ini

Object AmericaCommandCenter
PlacementViewAngle = -135
End

(default is -135)

Hi Fleetatks

Your code works good for 2 of my Command Center. But 2 of the Command Center the back is facing the road instead of the front. I need a code that will fix the other 2 Command Center. Thank you

Modifying his INI code will change the direction of all the USA command centers. Not the command centers for the other armies. If only two of four command centers are coming up in the specified direction, then upload the map so we can look at it. Note: if this is for multiplayer, then using this code will cause a mismatch in the online game.

It will be impossible to rotate 1 command center and rotate another one a different way using this method, I suggest placing the roads differently so you can form the roads around the command centers, rather then the command centers around the roads.

If you want to make all command centers for every team and general face the same way, then do you just change the name of them? like in the map.ini you put:

Object AmericaCommandCenter
PlacementViewAngle = -135
End

Object ChinaCommandCenter
PlacementViewAngle = -135
End

etc. and do that for all generals? or is there something else you need? thanks

Oh I see what your trying to do. You want the two command centers on the left of the map point to the right. You also want the two command centers on the right to point left. That's just not possible. When you use this INI file. All the command centers will point the same direction. You modify the USA command centers to points right & the China Command point to the left. But if this is an online map, then every thing would get screwy. Just use the default position & put the roads down in respects to that position.

I see this is a Generals map (not Zero Hour) That means you use INI files without causing mismatches on multiplayer! EA Games did something to Zero Hour that would make INI files mismatch online. I also saw something in your map that won't allow skirmish players to work. Go to the player list in the edit menu. Delete the 3 players "PlyrChina", "PlyrAmerica", & "PlyrGLA". Those players will interfere with the skirmish players.

Yes that is what i am trying to do.

I have thought of a code i will try that if it does not work. I will just place the road for the position of the Command Center. But there will be 2 of the Command Center facing the wrong way.

The 3 players you are talking about they were al ready there i was not sure what to do with them. Thank you for telling me.

What do you think of the map at the moment ?

I will need a code to disable somes units and buildings. By the title of the map it should give you a ideal. But i will make you a lists of what it need to be disable. Thank you

What I do when I want a command center to look part of the map is have the main road go by the command center & have a dirtroad going from the main road to the command center.

If your going to make an infantry/tank war map, your gonna have to not only disable building & unit structure, you'll have to add some too. If you just take away all the air craft, mabey the defenses & and SWs, it will make the game unbalaced. So you'll have to allow each of the 3 armies to build every tank & infantry. Have fun!
