Recently I found that a couple of my mods (hosted on my site) aren't working. Some of these I will try to fix and some I will just remove (for someone who has no obligations it's amazing how little spare time I have).

The only thing I'd like to see is to enable nuke trucks to be built for China in their war factories xD. That would be helpful for a mission map I am making. The boss generals is the Nuke Master or something along those lines and it would be neat if the AI could be those destructive beasts!

I can do that as a map.ini or an actual mod. It would take me about 10 minutes.

I'll give it a go but I've found generals is a little temperamental whenever I try to mod it. That's one of the reasons I stick to modding ZH. Also, I don't mod models so unless you can provide me with the models you get what comes with the game.

I thought about it (especially since the war factory hasn't got enough space for another unit) but I decided against it. If it'd be better like that I can probably work on it some more to work out the kinks.

It's a pointless button since you can just right-click to place a rally point. Plus I converted the boss general's overlord into the nuke truck; which won't be a problem unless someone is trying to play as the boss general.

Add a stealth module. Copy the code from a stealthed unit and then use the addmodule code to add it to the unit in the map.ini

For a mod, yes. For a map.ini, no. For the map.ini you should only use write the code you want to add/change. Take out everything but the stealth module, then add an extra line for adding it (check some of the tutorials around the forums for more help with modules).

Ohhhhh! Sorry, you're going to have to be patient with me on modding Zh, I'm such a novice! Well, back to researching!

Posted by: klingondragon - Thursday, November 10, 2016 6:33:03 PM
I don't call map.inis modding, they share code but you could be a great modder but when it comes to a map.ini you wouldn't necessarily be able to make it work. Same language, different code.

Posted by: zero hour mad map maker - Thursday, November 10, 2016 9:47:27 PM
Yep, but I don't feel comfortable changing the entire game for one small thing; that is only needed for a single purpose. Modding, to me, is anything that changes the original aspects of the game regardless of how extensive or small it may be. It's fun all the same though haha. Good thread idea btw.

Posted by: klingondragon - Thursday, November 10, 2016 9:51:51 PM
As far as I remember I've done this about 3 times plus when I first made the 'small changes mod' I asked what else I should add.

You need to end the object, the addmodule, and the module itself (that's 3 ends), it also helps if you indent your code so that lines which open and end are on the same level and everything inside is indented (usually by two presses of the spacebar). Also (I'm not certain so let me check) I think your addmodule might need to specify a module tag (don't hold me to that, I don't usually deal with map.inis so add, modify, and remove module tags are still a bit new)

[quote=Zero Hour Mad Map Maker;141630]DANG! Now it crashes the game LOL! You did say to put an end after Addmodule and after the object right? [sleepy][/quote] This code that tells the game you want to deal with the EMP Patriot, and then immediately stop doing so. [code]Object SupW_AmericaPatriotBattery End[/code] This code tell the game to add modules, and then immediately stop adding modules. [code]AddModule End[/code] And then when the game sees this line: [code]Behavior = StealthUpdate ModuleTag_07[/code] The game will crash. You're specifying a module, but you haven't told it which unit you're changing or what to do with the module. Also, don't use tabs in code. It'll crash the game. See this: [code=plain]Object SupW_AmericaPatriotBattery AddModule Behavior = StealthUpdate ModuleTag_07 StealthDelay = 2000 ; msec StealthForbiddenConditions = FIRING_PRIMARY HintDetectableConditions = IS_FIRING_WEAPON FriendlyOpacityMin = 50.0% FriendlyOpacityMax = 100.0% InnateStealth = Yes OrderIdleEnemiesToAttackMeUponReveal = Yes End End End[/code] The first line tells the game to edit the EMP patriot, and the last line tells it to stop editing the EMP patriot. The second line adds modules, the second to last line tells the game to stop adding modules. I made the code neater and easier to read by indenting each line to show where things start and finish. This is quite normal in programming.

Although, unlike most languages, you shouldn't use tab, use 2 spaces for the indentation.

Wow okay! Thank you both! Sorry for my novice skills! I'm slow at first to learn a new language, though once I do I'll surely become proficient at it! Like I said many times in the past, I know how to do XML, HTML, DAT, C#, BASIC, and some other crap! Just not Zh....... lol. Alright, well that's all I think I want to know how to do for now. Do any other members have a request to Klingon Dragon?

Hey guys! A slight problem came up! I am super glad that the stealth actually works! YAY! Now the EMP turrets are stealthed. Though they do not become unstealthed and do not attack when any of my troops are near them? They are on the enemy team so that's fine. I even tried to correct it with this script, but nothing. Dumb thing.... * IF * Unit 'EP3' sees a(n) Enemy unit belonging to Player 'ThePlayer'. * THEN * Set Unit 'EP3' stealth ability to FALSE. Unit 'EP3' attacks Team 'teamThePlayer' * ELSE * Set Unit 'EP3' stealth ability to TRUE.

Anyone know why?

[quote=Zero Hour Mad Map Maker;141714]Anyone know why?[/quote] The AI needs changing, so that it will attack whilst stealthed. I completely forgot about that earlier. I wasn't sure what kind of stealth you wanted so I didn't mention that your choice of module was overpowered; it wouldn't have revealed itself even if you attack it. Here's a fixed one (assuming I haven't forgotten anything else): [code=plain]Object SupW_AmericaPatriotBattery RemoveModule ModuleTag_07 AddModule Behavior = StealthUpdate ModuleTag_17 StealthDelay = 2500 ; msec StealthForbiddenConditions = ATTACKING USING_ABILITY TAKING_DAMAGE InnateStealth = Yes ;Require the upgrade first OrderIdleEnemiesToAttackMeUponReveal = Yes End Behavior = AIUpdateInterface ModuleTag_07 Turret TurretTurnRate = 180 // turn rate, in degrees per sec TurretPitchRate = 180 AllowsPitch = Yes NaturalTurretPitch = 45 GroundUnitPitch = 40 MinPhysicalPitch = -20 ControlledWeaponSlots = PRIMARY SECONDARY TERTIARY MinIdleScanInterval = 250 ; in milliseconds MaxIdleScanInterval = 250 ; in milliseconds MinIdleScanAngle = 0 ; in degrees off the natural turret angle MaxIdleScanAngle = 360 ; in degrees off the natural turret angle End AutoAcquireEnemiesWhenIdle = Yes Stealthed ;ATTACK_BUILDINGS; defensive weapon MoodAttackCheckRate = 250 End End End[/code]
