I found the "QuantityModifier = " line in the Chinese Barracks code, that allows 2 Red Guard to appear after clicking ONCE on the Red Guard button. How do I make this work for a Chinese War Factory? [code] Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_XX QuantityModifier = ChinaTankBattlemaster 2 End [/code]

I think it should work.

Why are you asking us instead of trying it out for yourself?

I agree, let us know how you do with it.

The problem likely lies with creating a new ProductionUpdate when it already has one. Remove the one that you added & change the original one from: [code] Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_12 NumDoorAnimations = 1 DoorOpeningTime = 4000 ;in mSeconds DoorWaitOpenTime = 2000 ;in mSeconds DoorCloseTime = 5000 ;in mSeconds ConstructionCompleteDuration = 1500 ;in mSeconds End[/code] into this: [code] Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_12 QuantityModifier = ChinaTankBattleMaster 2 NumDoorAnimations = 1 DoorOpeningTime = 4000 ;in mSeconds DoorWaitOpenTime = 2000 ;in mSeconds DoorCloseTime = 5000 ;in mSeconds ConstructionCompleteDuration = 1500 ;in mSeconds End[/code] This worked fine on my computer.

I've finally got it to work. I am using the following lines to release 2 Battlemasters at one time: [code] Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_12 QuantityModifier = ChinaTankBattleMaster 2 NumDoorAnimations = 2 ;the number must be at least 2 in order for QuantityModifier to work. DoorOpeningTime = 4000 DoorWaitOpenTime = 2000 DoorCloseTime = 5000 ConstructionCompleteDuration = 1500 End [/code]

Doesn't the use of the QuantityModifier cause problems when two units are created on top of each other? Surely if you were to change the number to anything higher than 2 they would get stuck ontop of each other or jammed in the factory?

The way Generals works, not much can get stuck. Units can go through each other, but try to avoid it. I'll never understand why he thought that setting NumDoorAnimations to 2 would make any difference. It's pure superstition. The war factory doesn't have two doors to animate and the code works fine without the pointless change.

If it was that big of an issue, I suppose you could use it.
