Well, a particular unit is giving me some odd problems. It is designed to be all terrain, and its max slope is set to 90. It however acts as if its max slop is very low

. here is the FBI file:

Code: Select all

[UNITINFO]
	{
	//Internal settings
	unitname=BORESLOG;
	version=1;
	side=BOREDOM;
	objectname=BORESLOG.S3O;

	steeringmode=1;
	shootme=1;
	canreclamate=1;
	defaultmissiontype=Standby;
	maneuverleashlength=640;
	movementclass=TANKSH3;
	leavetracks=1;
	trackwidth=24;
	trackoffset=3;
	trackstrength=5;
	trackstretch=1;
	tracktype=slogTrack;
	armourtype=builder;
	canattack=1;

	//Weapons and related
	weapon1=LIGHTPARA;
	wpri_badtargetcategory=VTOL;
	nochasecategory=VTOL;

	

	}

One other problem was with its weapon. I gave it a custom sound titled burb.wav, just to mess around. How ever, spring gave me an error saying it was not in the correct format. From what I can tell that is how other mods have thier sound files set up, so this is puzzling me.

Thanks in advance

Try MaxSlope=85;
Maybe 90 becomes 0, because, you know, it's the kinda the same, if you consider the valid interval is only [0,90[ and anything out loop back in.

ok, but for the record I looked some all terrain units in other mods and they had max slope = 90

edit: nope, still does not work

Could it be that by using movementclass=TANKSH3; you make the unit use the MaxSlope that is defined for TANKSH3 inside /gamedata/moveinfo.tdf , disregarding what's written in the FBI?

nope

Code: Select all

 MovementClass=SPID2;

Yeah, that variable is read from the movement class, NOT the FBI.

oh, well that movment class does not have max slope in it. . .so all movement stats have to be done seperatly. . .

Thanks

edit: made some movement classes and all is well

thanks
