Hi, i have a question about CnC Generals World builder. i have a "custom map" (well it's not really custom, its just twilight flame with some things changed) but anyway, here comes my question. I have a couple of tanks (paladins) in the middle of the map, placed there, with neutral teams, and i want to recruit them, now as far as i know, normally, you can recruit thanks by just putting any infantry unit in there. so i tried that, and it didn't work, because when i move my cursor over the tank, it doesn't show the 3 arrows pointing down that i can move in the tank, so my question is, how can i edit it so that i can just put a red guard or wathever in the tank and play with it, or how can i recruit it in an other way so i can play with it Thanks in Advance. Greetz [+1] Oh p.s. Im not good in scripting or anything like that, so i prefer a simple solution.

Well if this is Generals and Not Zero Hour then you are going to need to do more scripting using jarmen kells to shoot the tank drivers. [url=http://www.cnclabs.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&m=105669#post105669]See this post[/url].

You cannot shoot neutral vehicles with a JK since you see them as a neutral faction. Factions that are neutral to each other cannot attack each other. You need to do exactly this: [quote=Me Myself and Pi]Scripting the Jarmen Kells isn't that hard. Here's how: 1) Go to the Player List & create two new players. Both under the Civilian faction & name them, [b]Unmanned[/b], & [b]JarmenKells[/b]. (Give the same name to the [b]Player Name[/b] & [b]Player Display Name[/b]) If this is a solo player map, (not skirmish or multiplayer) then check them as AI controled. 2) Create the following scripts: [code]* IF * True. * THEN * Player 'JarmenKells' considers Player 'Unmanned' to be Enemy ([Player] Change how a player relates to another player.) Team 'teamJarmenKells' begins hunting using Ability 'Command_GLAInfantryJarmenKellSnipeVehicleAttack'. ([Team} Set to hunt using commandbutton ability.) Set timer 'Delete Jarmen Kells' to expire in 3.00 seconds.[/code] [code]* IF * Timer 'Delete Jarmen Kells' has expired. * THEN * Team 'teamJarmenKells' is removed from the world. ([Team] Delete a team.)[/code] 3) Go to all the units you want unmanned & change it's team to [b]teamUnmanned[/b] 4) Now place a Jarmen Kell under the team of [b]teamJarmenKell[/b] next to each unit. That's all![/quote]

Ehm, yes, thank you very much but, like i said in my previous comment im not very good with scripts, and with that i mean, i am HORRIBLE at scripting. I don't have any clue wat to do here, im kind of a moron in that area so i need a little more info. I am using CNC world builder, and the only way i can create units is from the tab Object Selecition Opts. then i go to GLA-Infrantry-CINE-GLAInfrantryJarmenKell. Then i put them random on a map and then i click on them , and a menu opens. i can change name, team, health and hitpoints, and under thet there are a few check boxes contanining: Enabled,(checked) powered,(checked) indestructible,unsellable,selectable,(checked)ai recruitable, targetable. I can also add a script, but the section is gray so i cant click on it. And then there is agressiveness and all that stuff, but as far as i know, that has nothing to do with it. So what should i do? is there any program that i am not using to do all this, because i have the feeling that im not doing it in the right way. ( P.s. i just want a skirmish map, no solo or online, i just want to play against some normal or brutal armys ) So thanks in advance, an sorry for my lack of knowledge in this.

If you are a a very beginner at scripting well, then I'm afraid I cannot help you. I suck at explaining things like this to someone who does not understand it [sad] Besides, the GLA-Infrantry-CINE-GLAInfrantryJarmenKell is a cinema infantry unit which does not do anything, at least that's for ZH. Don't know how it is for Generals. Edit: maybe you should post your map and let others have a look at it.
