It's not possible to mount two addons at once. The simplest way to do it would be make the gattling cannon into a gattling bunker. I.E. Add the bunker code and a second draw module. You can't use AddModule in a mod. That's for Map.ini

Funny I randomly logged in because I found my making of comic for the helix upgrade challenge from 2012. Susprised annihilationzh is still alive and kicking here. Attaching the comic and artwork, I don't have the original code. Use it as inspiration [ATTACH]2311[/Attach]

I tried putting the bunker's draw module (quoted above) into the overlord gattling, right after its own draw module; the game won't launch with this (encountered serious error blabla). [quote=Annihilationzh;150054]The bunker has a module that allows troops inside.[/quote] I copied the bunker's contain module into the overlord gattling module, but it doesn't work in-game. Is it related to the draw module part?

Crash: You put the second draw module inside the first draw module. Fix: See the "End" immediately after your bolded draw module? Move it up above the bolded section. Also your ModuleTags all need to be different. You have two ModuleTag_01 and two ModuleTag_03. It won't cause a crash but it can cause glitches. It doesn't matter what they're called: ModuleTag_X, Module_01, Tag_01. As long as they're all different. I can think of quite a few reasons for why the contain is not working, and both of these issues are possible reasons.

[quote]Are these issues related?[/quote] They are. I didn't even notice before but you're using the Tank_ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannon. It's unused. The Tank general's overlord uses the regular overlord gattling cannon.

Since I already changed Tank_ChinaTankOverlordGattlingCannon, would it be easier for me to change the Emperor to use that one?

I tried exactly that in the Emperor code: [quote] Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_07 UpgradeObject = OCL_[i][b]Tank_[/b][/i]OverlordGattlingCannon TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordGattlingCannon ;ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaOverlordBattleBunker End [/quote] The contain now works (there's no button to move the infantry out but I'd need to edit the command inis for that; doesn't show the "pips" for the amount of inf in it, but it's not a huge issue), but the gattling cannon is completely gone - no model, no shooting. I think it's due to us drawing the bunker thing over the gattling thing? EDIT I'm not sure the contain actually works (was playing with other secondary weapons), testing now EDIT2 Yeah contain doesn't work either, so I guess my tweak didn't generate the correct object. How should the syntax actually work?

Correction: the contain works. It's just the InitialPayload part that doesn't work, probably because this is an object and not an unit? In my previous testing where the pips didn't show, the contain didn't work, I just thought it was tankhunters shooting when it was actually the other secondary weapon I was messing around with that shot the rockets.

See the avenger's OverlordContain. It starts with its portable structure.

EDIT 2 With the correct name it works (tank spawns with the gattlingbunker), but the InitialPayload part still doesn't work. Also, somewhat related question: is it possible to have a mix of different unit types in InitialPayload, generally speaking? Another somewhat related question: are overlordcontain and (regular) contain behaviors the only ways to bypass the weaponset limit of 3 weapons per unit?

[quote]With the correct name it works (tank spawns with the gattlingbunker), but the InitialPayload part still doesn't work.[/quote] Is the InitialPayload on the overlord or on the bunker? Personally, I'd try it on the bunker. [quote]Also, somewhat related question: is it possible to have a mix of different unit types in InitialPayload, generally speaking?[/quote] Not directly. But you can get it done via OCLs.

Well, you can only try InitialPayload on the overlord and the bunker. If it doesn't do anything on either then that's all she wrote. OCLs should work regardless.

If it just uses the regular one, and the draw modules are in the Gattling objects, how can this be? Also does Draw affect anything else than weapon bone locations, game mechanics wise?

As you discovered earlier, the bones on an overlord are not setup for a flamethrower, so you ended up with a strange trajectory. Likewise if you want a visible rotating turret it needs to be supported by the model. Models also have parts that change colour (blue/red/green/etc) depending on who owns them. The draw modules determine which models are being used and in what situation. They hide/show parts of a model. They tell models to animate (treads, scaffolding, turrets, recoil). They tell buildings which direction they should face by default. They add particles (sparks, smoke and similar) to bones. Basically they handle everything around how the game interacts with models.

[quote]Does this also mean I can't just add Overlord Contain to anything I want?

You'd need another bone to attach it to, or the addon would just be put at the center of the model, on the floor. For example, the Paladin has a bone for its laser, and you could mount an overlord gattling cannon on it no problem. [quote]Hmm by supported you mean having a proper firepoint/bone for it?

It's a named part of the model. These turrets have to be designed to function as a turret. I.E. imagine a tank's turret moving but the cannon stays still - and shoots shells out sideways. Overlord addons are technically just buildings in the code. The speaker tower and bunker don't even have turrets.

GrantUpgradeCreate on most units will crash saved games. If you remove Type = OBJECT from upgrade.ini you can move GrantUpgradeCreate to the war factory. [quote]Also I added ECM behavior to the Overlord instead of one of its contained modules this time just to see if it's the correct code, works fine; only I got a "serious error" crash, the first I've had so far that was not caused by me alt-tabbing. Do you think it could be related to the ECM behavior?[/quote] My memory is getting foggy here, but I'm pretty sure ECM and PDL count towards the weapon limit (3 per unit). That could be the cause of the crash. [quote]EDIT2 those lines of pseudocode work when I put them in a bunker (the building). So I guess OverlordContain is the issue...?[/quote] I'm honestly surprised that didn't work. I could have sworn I've seen it done before. You may have to give the overlord slots by default (like the helix) and have the OCL spawn in the overlord.

The Gattling main gun has some weird targeting behavior when I tested (such as not shooting when I tell the tank to shoot at a building), not sure if it's related at all to the inf inside. Also, somehow the Gattling gun will refuse to shoot (or even turn) if I add a TERTIARY weapon to the Gattling upgrade. Any idea why that is?

[quote=Annihilationzh;150172]You mean like glitchy graphics?[/quote] As in a lot of units were doing things (like half a screen of inf fighting each other).

My guess would be that it's struggling to pitch the turret for the flamethrower and it's just getting stuck. Flamethrowers (and toxin streams) are very finnicky.

Yes you can use OCL to populate the bunker with a mix of different infantry types. However note that the infantry will not have horde bonus since they are not in a group on the ground. You have to exit them, let the horde bonus appear, then garrison them again in the bunker. Also only the first draw module in the bunker gattling will attach to the correct bone in the tank model. Best for this to be the gattling model. The bunker will just appear at the same place rather than at the back of the turret. I will try to attach an example map.ini mod with a test mission map here.
