Spring RTS Engine

is it posable for a unit to use other units as its weapon?
like fighter jets on a 10 round burst and reload every 5mins
host unit will have a hatch where they come from
can this be done?

See Complete Annihilation's aircraft carrier, it behaves like the Protoss carrier from classic StarCraft.

do you have the unit name?

It's the reef, see here:

You can hover over the buildpictures to see the internal name if you want to cheat the unit in.

thanks :)

been taking a look at the .lua i cant find what part refers to the drones it spawns (gulls)
could you maybe point it out or am i looking in the wrong place?

It's actually a lua gadget that does this.

You might need some lua know-how if you want to adapt this gadget to your game. I suggest joining the #lua channel in the lobby if you need help (or ask here, but realtime is better).

got it working!
nice feature will add something extra to my mod thanks

would this also work with fbi/tdf being the host unit? or is it a lua only thing?
