Broken Structure (Won't appear in the build options)

Post by The_Igishly_Co »

I've put the Unit Def of the builder and the Structure in the files section
(Any questions please ask!)


---NOTE---
This builder DOES build other things! It's just this ONE thing that is being a pain...
---EDIT---
I will be posting the infolog later, I am having issues with my internet at the home PC, issues that will be resolved by this afternoon, thank you for all the support thus far! (I mean it, even by posting a reply to my topic, you make me think that my stuff is important even though it may not be) I am someone who is working on this alone and don't get very much done in a 2 hour session... But I appreciate you guys to help add some elbow grease to the gears of the project, if you want, I can create a seprate topic alltogether and post snapshots every once and a while, so you guys can see what you've helped create...

Anyway, thank you to all who helped,
Yours Truly,
The Igishly Company

I've been looking at the 3 files a bit, but I can't find any mistakes. That doesn't mean there aren't any though. For all I know It could be a missing comma somewhere.

I think you are right the problem is with the building (not the builder).
Most probably Spring doesn't recognise your factory as a unit, because it lacks some stuff for Spring to be able to do this.

But is very hard to find a mistake if you've forgotten exactly what stuff you did. It is sometimes almost impossible if you're trying to find a mistake by someone else, because you can't know all the stuff they did unless you look at all that stuff too.

Everyone who told you to go look stuff up in the wiki has acted as a friend until now :-) . Even though the wiki isn't as nicely structured as I'd personally would like, it may be the best way to get to know the stuff you want.

For instance: I think this page is a bit harder to find, while it is a very important page for anyone starting a Spring project.

Lastly I like to explain that I think that the more you share, the easier it may be for others to help you. I understand this can be hard because the stuff you made and the ideas you had feel very important to you, especially at first, and you don't want to share them on a whim. It is up to you to find a way to deal with that, I think.

In any case, good luck, and remember, stuff is not impossible :-)

For this issue, I need to see your infolog.txt. This likely will contain an error listed in it about your unit. Failing that it may become more difficult to debug.

You are missing a trailing bracket in juxfactory.lua.

Ah! good catch! I was already doubting my share-more-stuff-speach, since I didn't really know what extra info that would give, apart from model pieces, and thought that might be it. Guess I'm guilty of being curious for unit models :-)

I only caught it after looking at the unitdef twice. But for future reference, the infolog.txt will usually contain an indication of errors like this.

THANK YOU BEHERITH! I'm sure it will work in the future! I am VERY thankfull for your assistance in this matter! (And yes, I will be posting the infolog.txt in my posts if I run into another issue. THANK YOU once again. And, the only reason I didn't post it last time was due purely to the fact that last time the issue was not in the infolog.txt... Thank you once again. And have a GREAT day! :D :D :D
