you mean instead of strafing like a brawler? its hoverattack = 0; in the fbi

- Added COB get/set constant CURRENT_FUEL (93)

does anyone know how to use this in a script and get it to compile?

Posted: **21 Jul 2007, 06:05**

You'll need to add

Code: Select all

#define CURRENT_FUEL         93

into either your exptype.h or STANDARD_COMMANDS_GPL.h, whichever you have as an include for your bos file, or just add it at the top of your bos file. Its better to add it in the include, since you're probably including it in all your other bos's as well, and you may need it.

Then you will probably want to use something like

Code: Select all

someVariable = get CURRENT_FUEL;

to find out what it is, and

Code: Select all

set CURRENT_FUEL #;

to, you know, set it. I'm not sure if its a % of the total, or its actual amount, but if your unit has more than 100 fuel, that wouldn't take long to figure out.

turret=0

Could you come up with something more than a vague description of your problem?

Can infantry be able to get if they are cloaking? Via script?

I wanna make them crouch and move 40-60 percent faster if they are cloaked.

My commander is messed up, could someone help me. It can't be attacked by enemies. That's all that's wrong to my knowledge.

Works fine in the latest version, I do believe....though it might have to do with the completely 'o' yardmap (edit: nevermind it wouldn't be that...I got o and c mixed up again >_<)

Posted: **27 Jul 2007, 00:57**

Huhmm, I'll see again, and it's not completely o. Look closely.

Not to mention, I gave it a new spiffy model and I gave it a creation animation

Edit: Nope, you still can't click on it to be attacked...

BuildDistance 50?

Did the units that are trying to hit the comm something that could avoid it?
For example....
OnlyTargetCategory1=NOTAIR;
VonGratz

Yeah, it builds units inside of it.. I just keep that for when/if I ever need to copy its FBI.. I don't think that would be the issue, though.. I'll go see -__-

No, I haven't touched my categorys yet...

Edit: Changing builddistance had no effect.. Well, time to go digging..

I want my planes to use fuel to fire (I've got that handled), but not to fly. How?

Posted: **19 Aug 2007, 17:29**

use LuaCOB for ammo checks and set FUEL when out of ammo. that's how I'd do it.

Posted: **27 Aug 2007, 00:46**

Ehhhh.

What is the define for when you want to emit a weapon? 2048 or 4096?

Posted: **27 Aug 2007, 01:00**

neither. its 1024 + x. where x is the number of the ceg defined in the unit fbi

*edit, added example code*

eg:
emit-sfx 1024 from flare 1; //emits the '0' numbered ceg from flare 1

emit-sfx 1025 from flare 1; //emits the '1' numbered ceg from flare 1

etc etc.

Posted: **27 Aug 2007, 01:07**

Dude.. I am not THAT newby.

You can emit weapons as a special effect, and they actually act like weapons, minus guidance or homing.

I am wondering which one it is to do that.
