I want to make the American CIA officer able to swim. I know it's possible because I've seen in happen in a map, but I couldn't find the code for it. Also, how do i change the display name of an object? I tried, but it crashed the game whenever I tried to load the map.

You have to change it's locomotor. The first one in the file able to cross water is BasicAmphibiousLocomotor.

Just a little bit of extra info. After changing the Locomotor to 'BasicAmphibiousLocomotor'. You'll notice that the CIA Officer is walking on water. If you want it to swim, you'll have to create a swimming animation for it. Then Add "OVER_WATER" ConditionStates.

It's not working, or I'm not typing the code in correctly, the CIA Agent still can't get into (or onto) the water.

CommandSet AmericaInfantryCIAOfficerCommandSet 1 = Command_ChinaInfantryTankHunterTNTAttack 2 = Demo_Command_ConstructGLADemoTrap 3 = Chem_Command_ConstructGLADemoTrap End ;Special thanks to AnnailationZH Locomotor = BasicAmphibiousLocomotor Surfaces = GROUND RUBBLE WATER Speed = 50 ;45 SpeedDamaged = 45 ;38 TurnRate = 350 TurnRateDamaged = 300 Acceleration = 500 ;100 AccelerationDamaged = 250 ;50 ; in dist/(sec^2) Braking = 150 ; in dist/(sec^2) MinTurnSpeed = 0 ; in dist/sec ZAxisBehavior = NO_Z_MOTIVE_FORCE Appearance = TWO_LEGS StickToGround = Yes ; walking guys aren't allowed to catch huge (or even small) air.

Unless you're omitting it, you haven't actually changed the CIA Officer's locomotor.

First off, I don't get the structure of your code. Second. Run it through Worldbuilder, and see the error, or, check CrashReleaseInfo.txt on your: [code=cpp]Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data[/code]

You need to learn how to INI code. You got lucky by copying Beng's code, but if you really want to code properly, you have to learn.

[quote=precision_bomber;128402]First off, I don't get the structure of your code.[/quote] What do you mean? Is it not very readable or something? [quote=precision_bomber;128402]Second. Run it through Worldbuilder, and see the error, or, check CrashReleaseInfo.txt on your: [code=cpp]Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data[/code][/quote] Well, opened up the map in World Builder, but I got no error messages.

I really want to learn how. Any help with that would be much appreciated. Thank you, everyone for your help, and I'm sorry if any of these questions seem stupid or silly, I'm just really, really new to .ini coding...

I see what the problem is: you're trying to post the entire locomotor's code into the object. You only need the name:[code]Object AmericaInfantryCIAOfficer Locomotor = BasicAmphibiousLocomotor End[/code]

Very handy! EDIT: I copied CommieDog's mistake of missing SET_NORMAL. FIXED.
