Hi CnC Labs,

I have been reading these forums for weeks now and not found the answers to what I am looking for. I so need some help as I am close to pulling my hair out.

I have been working on a infantry map for a friend and he has asked me to "beef up" the infantry units in game. Everytime I edit something and put it into my map.ini the game crashes when I load the map.

Here's a few of the things he has asked me to do:

1. Give Colonel Burton Black Lotuses ability to capture buildings; I have tried a few different things here but fail everytime. When I edit the unit itself I get the button but not the ability to use it. When I edit the object the game crashes.

2. Give Jarmin Kell Black Lotuses ability to capture Buildings. Same problem different guy.

3. Give rangers, China Infantry and GLA rebels the ability to place timed demo charges. Again when I edit the unit from the commandset.ini I get the picture but not the ability. However, when I edit it from the americainfantry.ini into the map.ini folder, the game crashes when i load the map.

4. give tank hunters, rocket soldiers and stinger soldiers the ability to capture buildings. again, the same problem over and over and over.

I have no problem getting the picture of the ability in but have no idea how to get the unit to be able to use the abilities they are given. I cannot edit the game files because he wants to be able to play this map online with friends but it seems i cannot do this with the map.ini file.

I have learned sooo much from reading these forums over the last few weeks, one being that I could use map.ini's in this. before I always tried to do everything via scripting in WB. But I am at a loss as what to do her. Please help CnC please help me.

Thank you humbly in advance,
Az

P.S here is one of the many scripts i have tried and ultimately failed at. this script also crashes the game when you load the map:


CommandSet AmericaInfantryRangerCommandSet
  1  = Command_AmericaRangerCaptureBuilding
  2  = Command_AmericaRangerSwitchToMachineGun
  4  = Command_AmericaRangerSwitchToFlagBangGrenades
  5  = Command_GLAInfantryRebelBoobyTrapAttack
  11 = Command_AttackMove
  13 = Command_Guard
  14 = Command_Stop
End
  ExperienceValue = 20 20 40 60    ;Experience point value at each level
  ExperienceRequired = 0 40 60 120  ;Experience points needed to gain each level
  IsTrainable = Yes             ;Can gain experience
  CrushableLevel      = 0  ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles
  CommandSet          = AmericaInfantryRangerCommandSet
  CommandSet          = GLAInfantryRebelCommandSet
End

That script would crash the game.

What exactly was your thought process when making it?

This makes no sense:

  ExperienceValue = 20 20 40 60    ;Experience point value at each level
  ExperienceRequired = 0 40 60 120  ;Experience points needed to gain each level
  IsTrainable = Yes             ;Can gain experience
  CrushableLevel      = 0  ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles
  CommandSet          = AmericaInfantryRangerCommandSet
  CommandSet          = GLAInfantryRebelCommandSet
End

This crashes the game. These are parameters for an Object, but you didn't open an Object.

  CommandSet          = AmericaInfantryRangerCommandSet
  CommandSet          = GLAInfantryRebelCommandSet

Why declare two command sets?

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I was hoping that by adding the second command set that would allow the ranger to usethe booby trap ability from the rebel. i scripted in wb to show the booby trap button on the ranger and to show the buy boobytrap button in the barracks. it will let me buy the booby trap in the barracks, and will then show on the ranger as paid. but wont let me use the skill.

**edit** unfortunately i have only been using map.ini files for 4 days now so i have no idea what i am doing with them. i can script real good in wb, just not so much with the ini due to not knowing what does what.

There is a lot more to the booby trap than just a button. There are actually three modules in the rebels code dedicated to it.

This should (note: I am an expert at stupid mistakes) make the ranger place booby traps after the upgrade is purchased.

WoW. Awesome Annihilationzh thank you so much for the help. It works great.

To add different abilities to different units do I just use this same format for each?

You are a genius among geniuses Annihilationzh! This script allows Colonel Burton to use Black Lotus capture building! Thank you SOOOO much for your info.

It worked until I attempted to change the weaponset. Reason for changing the weaponset is because I got the jarmin kell snipe vehicle button on colonel burton, it will let me click on it and says jarmins voiceover. But will not let me snipe a vehicle. I was hopin to keep the knife attack and possibly make it something like so


  WeaponSet
    Conditions          = None 
    Weapon              = PRIMARY     ColonelBurtonSniperRifleWeapon
    Weapon              = SECONDARY   GLAJarmenKellVehiclePilotSniperRifle
    Weapon              = GADGET      ColonelBurtonKnifeWeapon
    AutoChooseSources   = PRIMARY     FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI
    AutoChooseSources   = SECONDARY   NONE
    AutoChooseSources   = GADGET      NONE

I believe I need to give buton jarmins snipe vehicle weapon to get him to use the skill, I could be wrong.

The Idea behind this is every faction will get one Super Burton built out of their Superweapon instead of their standard hero.

Any thoughts on how to get this script to work?

I tried adding his knife to tertiary but it would not take. Is there anyway to add his combat knife to TERTIARY and get it to work with the button?

You need to edit his knife button.

CommandButton Command_ColonelBurtonKnifeAttack
  Command                 = FIRE_WEAPON
  WeaponSlot              = TERTIARY ;SECONDARY

Thanks Annihilationzh. What .ini files carries those scripts? I looked for something like that but could not find it anywhere.

Also, everytime I add this into the script It crashes. I wanted to add the apammo and the boobytrap to this. But whenever I put it into the script it crashes


  SelectPortrait         = SABurton_L
  ButtonImage            = SABurton
  UpgradeCameo1 = Upgrade_AmericaAdvancedTraining
  UpgradeCameo2 = Upgrade_AmericaChemicalSuits
End


  SelectPortrait         = SACIAOff_L
  ButtonImage            = SACIAOff_L
  UpgradeCameo1 = Upgrade_AmericaAdvancedTraining
  UpgradeCameo2 = Upgrade_AmericaChemicalSuits
  UpgradeCameo3 = Upgrade_GLAInfantryRebelBoobyTrapAttack
  UpgradeCameo4 = Upgrade_GLAAPBullets
End

Is there a specific order the different scripts need to go in? I put it right below "Object AmericaInfantryColonelBurton"

Also, whenever i change the build cost/time it only changes the cost not the time. I wanted to make it

2500 cost 60.0 seconds build time. but it only changes the cost.

I think I explain this to someone once a month. This belongs on a map.ini FAQ.

You can't change either of them. The cost will appear, but it won't charge you the full amount, and the build time just won't work.

As for your other scripts, that End shouldn't be there. It closes references to C.Burton, but just afterwards, you're adding modules to him. So the game won't have clue what you're adding modules to.

Ah Thank you. I greatly appreciate the help you have been giving me and Thank you greatly for the quick responses. You are a lifesaver.

Ok. I got the CIA portrait when I click on Burton. How would I get the CIA portrait to show up in a build. For example in the barracks where you click on burton, how to get that to show CIA agent.

And heres a tricky one, I tried changing burton to cia agent so it would create the cia agent instead of burton, but the game crashed. is there any unique model I can use instead of burton for this unit that won't crash the game?

Replace burtons build commandbutton and change the image with the one of the CIA agent.

You can use any model to replace burton's model, as long as your syntax is correct.

EDIT: ok... you've changed everything. I'll take a look.

EDIT2: Command_ConstructAmericaInfantryCIAAgent does not exist. If you're going to use it, you have to create it. You have to create a CommandButton (you can find examples in CommandButton.ini).

As so?:


CommandButton Command_ConstructAmericaInfantryCIAAgent
  Command       = UNIT_BUILD
  Object        = AmericaInfantryCIAAgent
  TextLabel     = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaInfantryCIAAgent
  ButtonImage   = SACIAOff_L
  ButtonBorderType        = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildCIAAgent
End

this works and it doesn't. it doesnt crash the game, put a button in the barracks but not a usable button. and with the wrong image.

  TextLabel     = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaInfantryCIAAgent
  ButtonImage   = SACIAOff
  ButtonBorderType        = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildCIAAgent
End

however it does not put the proper button image in the barracks slot. it only shows a pic of the "build barracks" button

Here's a tricky question, I am sure it is do-able but haven't a clue as to how.

I got this to work exactly how I wanted it to


CommandButton Command_GLAInfantryJarmenKellSnipeVehicleAttack
  Command                 = FIRE_WEAPON
  WeaponSlot              = TERTIARY
  Options                 = OK_FOR_MULTI_SELECT NEED_TARGET_ENEMY_OBJECT CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
  Upgrade                 = None
  TextLabel               = CONTROLBAR:SniperAttack
  ButtonImage             = SSSniperAttack
  CursorName              = SnipeVehicle
  InvalidCursorName       = GenericInvalid
  ButtonBorderType        = ACTION ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipGLAFireJarmenKellVehicleSnipe
  UnitSpecificSound       = ColonelBurtonVoiceModeKnife
End

  WeaponSet
    Conditions          = None 
    Weapon              = PRIMARY     ColonelBurtonSniperRifleWeapon
    Weapon              = SECONDARY   ColonelBurtonKnifeWeapon
    Weapon              = TERTIARY    GLAJarmenKellVehiclePilotSniperRifle
    AutoChooseSources    = SECONDARY   NONE
    AutoChooseSources    = TERTIARY    NONE
  End

But is there a way to get the "GLAJarmenKellVehiclePilotSniperRifle" to use the same animation from "ColonelBurtonSniperRifleWeapon"?

I know it has something to do with


    ; Firing animation
    ConditionState      = FIRING_A
      Animation         = AIHERO_SKL.AIHERO_ATA
      AnimationMode     = ONCE
      AnimationSpeedFactorRange = 1.5 1.5
      TransitionKey     = TRANS_FiringA
    End

but how do i combine the two?
