I found the "QuantityModifier = " line in the Chinese Barracks code, that allows 2 Red Guard to appear after clicking ONCE on the Red Guard button. How do I make this work for a Chinese War Factory?


Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_XX
  QuantityModifier = ChinaTankBattlemaster 2
End

I think it should work.

Why are you asking us instead of trying it out for yourself?

I agree, let us know how you do with it.

The problem likely lies with creating a new ProductionUpdate when it already has one. Remove the one that you added & change the original one from:

  Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_12
    NumDoorAnimations            = 1
    DoorOpeningTime              = 4000  ;in mSeconds
    DoorWaitOpenTime             = 2000  ;in mSeconds
    DoorCloseTime                = 5000  ;in mSeconds
    ConstructionCompleteDuration = 1500  ;in mSeconds
  End

into this:

  Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_12
    QuantityModifier = ChinaTankBattleMaster   2
    NumDoorAnimations            = 1
    DoorOpeningTime              = 4000  ;in mSeconds
    DoorWaitOpenTime             = 2000  ;in mSeconds
    DoorCloseTime                = 5000  ;in mSeconds
    ConstructionCompleteDuration = 1500  ;in mSeconds
  End

This worked fine on my computer.

I've finally got it to work. I am using the following lines to release 2 Battlemasters at one time:


  Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_12
    QuantityModifier = ChinaTankBattleMaster 2
    NumDoorAnimations = 2 ;the number must be at least 2 in order for QuantityModifier to work.
    DoorOpeningTime = 4000  
    DoorWaitOpenTime = 2000  
    DoorCloseTime = 5000  
    ConstructionCompleteDuration = 1500
  End

Doesn't the use of the QuantityModifier cause problems when two units are created on top of each other?
Surely if you were to change the number to anything higher than 2 they would get stuck ontop of each other or jammed in the factory?

The way Generals works, not much can get stuck. Units can go through each other, but try to avoid it.

I'll never understand why he thought that setting NumDoorAnimations to 2 would make any difference. It's pure superstition. The war factory doesn't have two doors to animate and the code works fine without the pointless change.

The China Barracks's ProductionUpdate module has a ExitDelay= flag that is commented to indicate that it helps with the multiple Red Guards. If it was that big of an issue, I suppose you could use it.
