Is it possible to have upgrade like flashbangs from start of a map in ORIG Generals? I'm making a new SP mission, "Operation Scud-Rain", and need to have building capture upg. from start.

I think you can but I am not sure if you have to edit ini files or not

It should be possible using Scripts in the map.
I tried it once but the scripts didn't work. I double and triple checked my Script setup but the Capture Upgrade was still unavailable to me at the start.

You might have to edit an INI file in the map.
How i dont know, but it sure is possible. I mean they did it in the missions right?

I believe that the missions granted upgrades by having scripts to research them while the cinematics were running.

Yeah, this can be done simply enough.
1) Name a building that contains the upgrade you want & put it outside the border of the map so it can't be seen.
2) Create a new script with the action, "Unit\CommandButton\Use commandbutton ability.".
3) Click on the Unit '???' link first & select the name of the building. Now click on the, Ability '???' & choose the upgrade command button there.
If you have an intro scene that last long the upgrade takes to take affect then your done. Other wise...
4) create a Map.ini file (Let me know if you don't know how to do that.) & open up the Upgrade.ini file & use the Find program (ctrl+F) to find the paragraph about the upgrade.
5) When you find the one you want, copy & paste the paragraph into your Map.ini file.
6) Now just change the build time to zero & save the file.

It can also be done by the ini behaviour , grant upgrade module tag , set in the Object , like ranger or any other unit. No cinematics needed.
A beautiful example is the US command center radar upgrade.

Like me my self and pi said , edit or copy those files that are attached for the map , with the map and it's scripts and folders , not the ZH game.

Thanx all.
