how do you add propaganda effects to a unit?

Posted by: BR-Alexandre - Friday, April 22, 2011 4:05:47 AM
Try find the ini used by the infantry troop crawler, they have propaganda effects, rigth?

I think this is the code for the propaganda effects. just copy it and place it with the module tags for the unit. [code] Behavior = PropagandaTowerBehavior ModuleTag_1000 Radius = 100 DelayBetweenUpdates = 4000 ; in milliseconds HealPercentEachSecond = 2% ; get this % of max health every second PulseFX = FX_PropagandaTowerPropagandaPulse ;plays as often as DelayBetweenUpdates UpgradeRequired = Upgrade_ChinaSubliminalMessaging UpgradedHealPercentEachSecond = 4% ; get this % of max health every second UpgradedPulseFX = FX_PropagandaTowerSubliminalPulse ;plays as often as DelayBetweenUpdates End[/code]

i have already tried it but when i make the battleship the game crashes. heres how it looks like: Locomotor = SET_NORMAL BattleshipLocomotor Behavior = PhysicsBehavior ModuleTag_04 Mass = 5000.0 End Behavior = PropagandaTowerBehavior ModuleTag_05 Radius = 300.0 DelayBetweenUpdates = 2000 ; in milliseconds HealPercentEachSecond = 10% ; get this % of max health every second PulseFX = FX_PropagandaTowerPropagandaPulse ;plays as often as DelayBetweenUpdates End Geometry = BOX GeometryMajorRadius = 200.0 GeometryMinorRadius = 20.0 GeometryHeight = 40 GeometryIsSmall = No Shadow = SHADOW_VOLUME End

try running the world builder, it oftens shows what the problem is. did it crash before you placed the propaganda effects? I can see that your propaganda code is a bit diffrient that the cod that I posterd. try to place my code and see what happends.. I hope that would work but I do not know. Edid I placed my code on a avenger and it worked very well... there must be something in your code that you erased from it...

i tried yours and it half works. it only heals other battleships. any other type of unit won't get healed. ok. so after testing i found out that it worked from the beggining but propaganda doesnt work on boats. so heres the suloution:add propaganda to all boats. tell you how it goes after testing.

okay

Posted by: Omar - Friday, April 22, 2011 8:49:32 AM
propaganda still doesnt work on boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what makes boats bloody propaganda proof!!!!!!!! neeeeeeeeeeeeed heeeeeelllllllllpppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: glumurr - Friday, April 22, 2011 9:00:34 AM
I don't know :/ I have noticed on the troop crawlers that have the propaganda that they can not healtehm selfs. so hmm.. teh overlords can heal them self so maybe the answer is there. I'l go and check I can not help this time. I am sorry :/ maybe someone else can help.

Try seeing if a Speaker Tower affects the boats.

Posted by: BR-Alexandre - Friday, April 22, 2011 7:16:30 PM
or, if you can, check if overlord/emperor tower affect them also, so then just put the tower in the boats with the emperor codes (sorry, can't help with those as never tried work with .ini files)

i have found a better way to heal my boats other than propaganda. search for any american building then search for base regenrate update. i know what your thinking,it is too slow but... if you add more than one base regenerate update with different module numbers it will work just like propaganda. heres how it looks like: Behavior = BaseRegenerateUpdate ModuleTag_16 ; none End Behavior = BaseRegenerateUpdate ModuleTag_17 ; none End Behavior = BaseRegenerateUpdate ModuleTag_18 ; none End Behavior = BaseRegenerateUpdate ModuleTag_19 ; none End Behavior = BaseRegenerateUpdate ModuleTag_20 ; none End by the way,thank you all for the help. i appreciate it.

^That's not good for game lag. Every module will make the game run slower. That won't be notable in a normal game, but if you build a lot of them, it'll lag. You can use 'AutoHealBehavior' (check the GLA vehicles for an example, as they have junk repair) to make something heal at whichever rate you wish.
