I don't believe capturing a China suppy center will allow you to build a USA war factory.

1. Go into Edit->scripts. 2. Create a new script in the Civilian folder (if you don't have a civilian folder, go into edit->Edit Player List... and click Add Skirmish Players, then start these instructions again). 3. Click actions if true->New 4. In the drop down list, choose [Map]Adjust the tech tree for a specific object type. 5. You should see a '???' becomes Buildable (Yes) below the drop down. Click the '???' and choose AmericaWarFactory. 6. Click the 'Buildable (Yes)' and change it to 'Buildable (Ignore_Prerequisites)' Done. If you are playing online, you may also wish to use the Buildable (No) for the superweapons. Map.ini code generally causes mismatches when you are playing online. Also, you may want to put the war factory on a timer to stop rushes. The American AI may not work under these circumstances. So if it doesn't you might want to set the American Supply Center as Buildable (Only_By_AI).

Ah, I see from another of you posts that: [quote]thanx but i play generals only.[/quote] This makes things a bit different. For one, it allows you the use of Map.ini files: [code]Object AmericaSupplyCenter ReplaceModule ModuleTag_12 Behavior = SpawnBehavior ModuleTag_12_Override SpawnNumber = 1 SpawnReplaceDelay = 9999 SpawnTemplateName = ChinaVehicleSupplyTruck OneShot = Yes CanReclaimOrphans = No End End End[/code]Copy & paste this into Notepad & then same the document as, [b]Map.ini[/b] in your map folder. This will have the supply center give a supply truck instead. Now for the scripting part. At game start, choose these scripts: [code]* IF * True. * THEN * Command button: 'Command_ConstructChinaVehicleSupplyTruck' is added to all objects of type 'AmericaSupplyCenter' in slot number 1 (1-12). 'ChinaVehicleSupplyTruck' becomes Buildable (Ignore_Prerequisites)[/code] [Scripting] Add a command button to an object type. [Map] Adjust the tech tree for a specific object type. [code]* IF * Timer 'So & So' has expired. * THEN * Command button: 'Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleChinook' is added to all objects of type 'AmericaVehicleChinook' in slot number 1 (1-12).[/code] [Scripting] Add a command button to an object type.

[quote]For one, it allows you the use of Map.ini files[/quote] It does? WOW! If that's true, then do what Me Myself and Pi said. I was just trying to work around using a map.ini.

Annihilationzh that's a Good point! And Pi, that's an interesting way to handle this situation. I like it.

What gazza22???? I don't understand your post.

Posted by: gazza22 - Friday, October 10, 2008 8:23:33 AM
wot is it under in scripts i cant find it mate

Posted by: Drummin - Friday, October 10, 2008 8:34:20 AM
Are you trying to adjust the tech tree for a specific object type? That's found under [Map]. As you're using Generals, I'd go with the map.ini file as Pi suggested. As far as China not building... did you add InnerPerimeter and OuterPerimeter areas to your bases? Are they seperate and NOT overlapping?

Posted by: gazza22 - Friday, October 10, 2008 8:40:22 AM
* IF * Timer 'So & So' has expired. * THEN * Command button: 'Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleChinook' is added to all objects of type 'AmericaVehicleChinook' in slot number 1 (1-12). were it says timer so & So has expird do i just copy it in to script or do i but a time in

Posted by: Drummin - Friday, October 10, 2008 9:10:35 AM
Look at Pi's post carefully. I just went through his steps and it's all there. You'll find these objects as in 'Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleChinook' by scrolling down your list of object buttons.

Posted by: gazza22 - Friday, October 10, 2008 9:16:03 AM
yer mate its a done. but do i but a time in this so it make chinnooks again * IF * Timer > 'So & So' < has expired

Posted by: Drummin - Friday, October 10, 2008 9:24:04 AM
Didn't you have a delay timer for the water to drop? Wasn't this the time you'd want to be able to build chinooks again? Use that timer OR make a new timer.

Posted by: gazza22 - Friday, October 10, 2008 9:35:49 AM

[quote=gazza22]all u have to do is press an hold ctrl then print Screen button then u go to paint and then past it and save as jpg[/quote] Just [PRINT SCREEN] ([PRT SC]) will do, the [CTRL] key doesn't do anything in this case. You can press [ALT]+[PRT SC] if you only want to capture the active window and not your entire view with the desktop and taskbar.

Man! All that goes on between the times I check these forums! Yeah, when I said "So & So" & meant just any timer. In your case, the timer you need to use is, "sea". Right now, you just have timer, "520" to expire. You can't define how long a timer should be in the condition, [b][Scripting] Timer expired.[/b] You've already set the timer, "sea" to expire, so that will work for that script. The script should then look like this: [code]* IF * Timer 'sea' has expired. * THEN * Command button: 'Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleChinook' is added to all objects of type 'AmericaVehicleChinook' in slot number 1 (1-12).[/code] & then it should work. Also, it's not recommended adding skirmish players to a no rushing map. I've found (in Zero Hour at least) that the computer continually tries to cross the water. For each unit, it search every possible to path it might be able to take, but since it's all blocked, the game will freeze for about a second as it computes a path to get to the other side. After that second, it gives up & sends the unit to the closes place to the other side. But it won't stop trying to go to the other side. This lag will be very annoying. On more thing, in you map, you've got a player, [b]PlyrChina[/b] in the Player List. If you did put a Chinese computer player in the game, the victory window will come up & end the game. So go to the [b]Player List[/b] remove it.

Posted by: Me Myself and Pi - Sunday, October 12, 2008 6:38:55 AM
Okay, well upload your map again so I can check it out.

Posted by: Drummin - Sunday, October 12, 2008 8:14:24 AM
The map played fine as a multiplayer map. We did have the original Chinook when the supply center was built but the china supply truck was in the "slot" to build. Water dropped no prob and timer worked and showed fine. If you want AI players to work continue the procedure of adding areas and pathways to make it a skirmish map.
