Are you asking about generals or zero hour? The method linked appears to be for generals (I remember CommieDog talking about this method once, as I've never bothered modding generals). For zero hour, you can copy the worker's fake/real commandset switch, which is much less of a pain.

Generals. but tut seems to be using ZH (although i think it will still work in generals) because the commandset text your supposed to copy has 14 for the slot number, and Generals only has 12 slots in its commandsets.

From GLA worker: [code=plain] Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_14 TriggeredBy = Upgrade_GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet CommandSet = GLAWorkerFakeBuildingsCommandSet End Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_15 TriggeredBy = Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet CommandSet = GLAWorkerCommandSet End[/code] Just clone all upgrades above in upgrade.ini, and give them your own names so you can recognize them, and substitute the rest of the code (commandsets). Make sure to make moduletags unique, or WB will keep crashing. Then the buttons: [code=plain]CommandButton Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet Command = OBJECT_UPGRADE Upgrade = Upgrade_GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet ButtonImage = SUFakeToggle ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet End CommandButton Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet Command = OBJECT_UPGRADE Upgrade = Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet ButtonImage = SUFakeToggle ButtonBorderType = UPGRADE ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet End[/code] Again, clone, and edit to fit in context. Make sure you add them to your commandsets.

You don't need to create new upgrades for this. You can use the existing ones.

ive been trying to get this to work, but it wont so far. does the CommandSetUpgrade behavior even exist in regular Generals?

you can't use newnightmare's code in generals. You have to use acidbrain's code.

Hi there - are you still trying to make this work? I recently did this very thing for my own personal mod, and after the debugging bumps it's really simple. The game already has this: the GLA worker has the ability to switch command sets. All you need to do is copy/follow that code for your own use. If you need details, I can show you what I did. :)

Mobius-1 please read the whole thread b4 replaying :)

Mobius advice is useless if you're not using zero hour. I'm not just being intentionally negative here. Acidbrain's link is the only way to do this.

im doing this on a regular generals unit. and i dident find what you were talking about in the worker's INIs, mobius :/

Rrtaya_tsamsiyu - I'm sorry, I totally missed the fact that this was not for Zero Hour. I'll check what I did to see if its the same for both games; I don't know if it will be. I suppose I was too eager to help. Newnightmare, Annihilationzh, Feel free to continue helping me in the topic I started.....
