Is this the correct way to make a aircraft carrier to sink?
***IF***
Unit "Aircraft" is Less Then Or Equal to 90%
AND
Unit "Supw_ParticleCannonUplink"kill unit
***THEN***
Unit "Aircraft"has dealt a lethal damage
***IF***
Unit "Aircraft"has been killed,but still on the screen
***THEN***
Set unit "Aircraft" to topple at direction of X=150.00 Y=29.10 Z=82.46

There are two different aircraft carrier objects. One launches aircraft & the other has the sinking animation. That one is called, CINE_AircraftCarrier in the Civilian\Vehicle folder. What you could do is just spawn that one & kill it when the launching aircraft carrier dies. Or you could just use this Map.ini file instead from cncmaps.com's forums: http://www.cncmaps.com/index.php?showtopic=1243. This Map.ini file will give the AmericaAircraftCarrier the sinking animation that the CINE_AircraftCarrier has.

I know this is off topic, but how do you get the aircraft carrier to move?

There are others who know alot more than me on all this stuff but as no one else has posted any answer...Anyways.Basically the AirCraft carrier is not a unit, EA's engine counts it as a structure, hense it being able to rebuild lost raptors and not being able to move.
Even if it was converted to a unit somehow (I have no clue...) it would have no locomotor (Engine) to tell it what speed, what surface it can move on, speed to turn...
Although theoretically with a some experience and good sense you could add the AircraftCarrier to a build list and construct it like all buidable buildings are done, but then there would be a problem of the dozer getting onto the water/area to build the carrier...

Well, accually, it isn't to hard to do this. Although you may need to copy & paste the code into the AmericaVehicle.ini, I'm not sure if you have to though. But other then that, all you have to do is change the
[b]EditorSorting = STRUCTURE[/b] to [b]EditorSorting = VEHICLE[/b],
the [b]KindOf = PRELOAD STRUCTURE SELECTABLE IMMOBILE FS_AIRFIELD AIRCRAFT_CARRIER SCORE CAPTURABLE FS_FACTORY MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY CAN_ATTACK[/b], to [b]KindOf = PRELOAD VEHICLE SELECTABLE FS_AIRFIELD AIRCRAFT_CARRIER SCORE FS_FACTORY MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY CAN_ATTACK[/b],
& just add a locomoter, like, [b]Locomotor = SET_NORMAL BasicAmphibiousLocomotor[/b]

I'll post the map soon.But,the script isn't finish due to a problem of disappearing of waypoints for the trains and the vehicle on the road.The map's name is La Mer.Darn it.who deleted that map!!??

I'm confused about what your problem is. Could you reword that post.
Posted by: Yoshi714 - Wednesday, March 19, 2008 5:54:06 AM
Pi could that locomotor script be changed for tanks to make them travel through water AND on land? If the water was shallow so it looked like a puddle from rain?
Posted by: Me Myself and Pi - Wednesday, March 19, 2008 10:44:48 AM
Well all that you would need to do is modify the locomotor for all the ground vehicles. Here's the locomotor for the that transport:
[code]Locomotor BasicAmphibiousLocomotor
[b]Surfaces = GROUND WATER[/b]
Speed = 40 ; in dist/sec
SpeedDamaged = 30 ; in dist/sec
TurnRate = 180 ; in degrees/sec
TurnRateDamaged = 120 ; in degrees/sec
Acceleration = 30 ; in dist/(sec^2)
AccelerationDamaged = 20 ; in dist/(sec^2)
Lift = 120 ; in dist/(sec^2)
LiftDamaged = 80 ; in dist/(sec^2)
Braking = 50 ; in dist/(sec^2)
MinTurnSpeed = 0 ; in dist/sec
PreferredHeight = 4 ; at 1, 2, 3, the unit shakes from rounding. at 0 the SurfaceRelativeHeight flag is ignored.
AllowAirborneMotiveForce = Yes
ZAxisBehavior = SURFACE_RELATIVE_HEIGHT
Appearance = HOVER
PitchStiffness = 0.9 ; stiffness of the "springs" in the suspension forward & back.
RollStiffness = 0.95 ; stiffness of the "springs" in the suspension side to side.
PitchDamping = 0.9 ; How fast it damps. 0=perfect spring, bounces forever. 1=glued to terrain.
RollDamping = 0.9 ; How fast it damps. 0=perfect spring, bounces forever. 1=glued to terrain.
ForwardVelocityPitchFactor = -0.1 ; How much velocity will cause the front to lift/dip
LateralVelocityRollFactor = 0.1 ; How much cornering will cause the chassis to roll.
Apply2DFrictionWhenAirborne = Yes
AirborneTargetingHeight = 30
LocomotorWorksWhenDead = No ;
End[/code]
Notice the [b]Surfaces = GROUND WATER[/b]? All you need to do is add the WATER part to each of the locomotors. But here's an easy to change it fast:
1) Open up the Locomotor.ini in Word.
2) Press [b]ctrl + F[/b] & in the [b]Find & Replace[/b] window, click on the [b]Replace[/b] tab.
3) Copy this:
[b]Surfaces = GROUND[/b]
& paste it into the [b]Find What[/b] text field. Copy & Paste [b]Surfaces = GROUND WATER[/b] into the [b]Replace With[/b] text field. [b]Make sure there is a space after the word, WATER.[/b] Many locomotors have RUBBLE right after the GROUND, so if don't include that space, you'll then see [b]Surfaces = GROUND WATERRUBBLE[/b] & will undoughtly cause a crash.
4) Click [b]Replace All[/b] & then click [b]Yes[/b] if it asked you if you want to search the rest of the document.

Pi, will this allow buildings to be build in "puddles" as well?? or must I change the type of surface they can be built on as well... (your knowledge of INI's and scripting blows me away!! I'm working on learning as much as I can but even at the rate that I do it seems you have a whole world of this stuff I havnt even tapped yet)
EDIT - Ok, so this does NOT allow buildings to be built on top of my "puddles" which in my opinion are very nicely done, especially with the ability to walk through them.
I tried to alter the line the the building code that says:
KindOf = PRELOAD STRUCTURE SELECTABLE IMMOBILE REBUILD_HOLE CAN_SEE_THROUGH_STRUCTURE IMMUNE_TO_CAPTURE SCORE_DESTROY MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY
I first tried erasing STRUCTURE, then I tried swapping it with VEHICLE, neither worked. It crashes on load due to that object. I would assume maybe its because there are no locomotor properties associated with the movement of the "vehicle" building... maybe I could give it a locomotor that cant go anywhere?? Will that work??
Somehow vehicles are able to move accross Impassable terrain, im wondering if it is because they can traverse water... Anyhow, after adding that bit about them being able to cross water I went ahead and painted the river in the middle of the map impassable so that they couldnt get accross it as they can the puddles, but they can still cross it and I'm not sure why. I suppose it there is an invisible structure I can put along the banks, some sort of wall that could keep them out, but it wont stop para drops in the middle. this reminds me, a while ago someone asked how to make land able to be crossed but not built upon. This is the answer right here because if you drop the land by 1 value and put the water at the correct value so that its right inbetween those, than the land that is dropped still loooks like regular land yet you cant build on it because technically it is under water, although you cant hardly tell without going atleast 3 feet under.

Hmm... I skimmed through a few INI files but couldn't find anything that would allow structures to be built in water. I'm a member over at deezire.net & that forum site is like completely devoted to C&C Modifying. I'll bring up this question there.
Here's the link to the topic so you can check it out: http://www.deezire.net/forums/generals-zero-hour-editing/8804-allowing-structures-build-water.html#post97589
[Edit]
I guy, Beng, has answered your question at that link. Check it out.

wow, that sounds complicated... Ill read it again when I have some time to mess with files and see if it looks worth the time. Mainly want to see if its going to affect anything else to go through all that.

Sorry, I guess that was kind of a pointless question. I meant was, were you using it in a Map.ini or modifying the whole game. But I guess now it doesn't matter.
Anyway, I realised my mistake, you also need to change the [b]RadarPriority = STRUCTURE[/b] to [b]RadarPriority = UNIT[/b]
If it still crashes, upload the Map.ini/FactionBuilding.ini file so I can check it out.
