I am trying to make it to where when I buy a Comanche, it spawns 2 as a pair. I have tried putting: FormationSize = 2 FormationSpacing = 35.0 WeaponConvergenceFactor = 0.5 ..straight out of the Thunderbolt's Strike3 OCL and pasting it under design parameters, it threw a code. So I deleted it and moved it to the engineering parameters, it threw this code: [img]https://scontent-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/11140111_10153282692368980_7236080977701126622_n.jpg?oh=b8c99e29391c499eb1289ec9138c4ab1&oe=55DE4ECF[/img] I've tried to trace down every possible path that this code takes from commandset to commandbutton to its creation and I can't find where to put these lines. I'm guessing it is asking for an object, but I even tried putting it under the main name and it didn't work. Any ideas?

If you want to spawn two at a time, I would recommend looking at the Chinese Barracks's code and looking for a "QuantityModifier" line. You also don't need more than one QuantityModifier block if you do use it. EDIT: Although I have been unable to get two Battlemasters to be built at once for some reason, so not sure if this will work for aircraft

1. Make a flying version of the angry mob 2. Make mob member versions of the Comanche 3. Put those two together. 4. Profit The thing is, they wont be flying in formation like what you wanted rather, they'd just fly together.

Nope. Unless you make Formation-flying Comanches on the model itself.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/KxK2CXu.png[/img] Well, you can apply the code I posted there to the game. Where I get these codes is from the game itself-- there's lots of possibilities if you think like how the game wants you to convert an idea. I got this idea(the code) from the Stinger Site. And the unit spawned doesn't necessarily be a Stinger Soldier or similar-- so you can put a drone in place of a Stinger Soldier.

(There's also another way that doesn't involve giving the vehicle the negative side-effects of the INFANTRY KindOf, which I'll tell you if you want.) Or add EMP_HARDENED to any vehicle or building to make EMP not have any effect! Like how the Spectre Gunship has. Or add HERO, which will make the Radar mark it as a hero unit no matter what unit it is.

"Comanches are not a superpower" ~ see this is the fun stuff I wish I knew. I mean how are you supposed things like this? It is kind of hard to mod when you don't completely know what all the parameters and necessities are for each individual task. Where did you find all this info Annihilationzh? It is greatly appreciated.

Posted by: Zatsupachi - Wednesday, April 29, 2015 6:19:04 PM
for one. You can take note where the inis are located. What you can use in one ini doesn't necessarily translate to the other. FormationSize and FormationSpacing are from ObjectCreationList.ini which is not the same thing as anything from the Data/INI/Object/ files. nor it is to any other inis besides from ObjectCreationList.ini

Ok, I was able to make a Comanche Drone and attach it to a Comanche so that they always travel in pairs.[sunglasses] [sunglasses] [+1] They're also linked to the Patriot Battery and can guard a base parameter as well as attack infantry to protect the battery emplacements. I'll try and post the coding and the files they need to be in.

If you want to use it with the Comanche to create a attack helicopter team, take the "AIRCRAFT" out of the "KindOf" line.
