The bastard just won't move. It doesn't even has a move button or anything...

And Ctrl+c doesn't selects him.
Correction, found it out. It has to have "Commander" in "Category"... Weird, should go just by the tag "Commander=1;"...

does it have:

canmove=1;

?

Yes...

And MovementClass, MaxVelocity, Acceleration, BrakeRate and TurnRate...

Category=All Tll Lvl10 commander;
I think you need to inform that the "qualquer coisa" (something) is a kbot, a ship, or a flying chouri├â┬ºo!
Also all mods still have the TEDclass=commander; line, that perhaps would still needed as happens with the factories.From other units you can remove the TEDclass line without any trouble.
PS or a Commander

A flying chouri├â┬ºo, hahahahaah!

That doesn't seems to do anything anymore. As far as i know, the only use for TEDclass is to make units factories by assigning them "builder". That is, beyond the uses that Category also serve (weird to have 2 tags for, mostly, the same thing).

And how do i do that? Add Kbot to category? Tried that and does nothing (good thing, though. It would suck to be because of that...)

can it fire its weapon?

Another perhaps can be:
steeringmode=2;Only for kbots, still appeared in last XTA
and to complete MaxWaterDepth=120;
and change maxslope=22;The possibility of a commander landing in one very sloped corner of a map exist. Once time, in the SPRING version 4 or 5 , I was unable to play a map because always the commander landed in peaks of island mountains and my unit not was fitted with parachutes.

Haven't assigned a weapon to him yet. I am making all tdfs clean from scratch and no weapon has been created yet to give it to him.

Shouldn't be the maxslope or max water depth because, if it was, it would still have the possibility to give move orders (it would just complain that it can't reach destination).

Off to try giving it a weapon and steeringmode (hmm, i think steeringmode isn't even read by the source code).

Could it be something to do with the script?

I just de-compiled the one from the original TllCom.cob and compiled it with Scriptor (don't know if it has needed settings i should take care of. There is 2 buttons for TA and TA:K!?).

Could it be it?

Posted: **31 Oct 2006, 22:39**

I think that not is the script.
Its OK. compiling, decompiling and compiling again.
Ive utilized TA in Scriptor.The right *.h (head) files were called to be included in the COB through this first line:
#define TA // This is a TA script
Opening the Scriptor folder you will find others walk.h that are only for TAKingdoms.
Can you put the model, unit and script in FILEUNIVERSE?
One image ( or something moving) is better than a thousand of words

it could be the script...

of course the TA button needs to be activated

and in settings:

Linear: 163840
Angular: 182

You can be right. :idea:
My Scriptor done it without any trouble with these settings above.

Does that means you managed to make the bastardly comm to move? If so could you explain precisely how you managed it?

I am really really really stuck. I've been busting my head and i can't figure out what is wrong...

The TLL commander still have the old unit FBI all tag lines!Some time ago Ive removed some lines Ive believe that dont matter in my mod and was disastrous

Im still learning about SPRING.But an old football (soccer) phrase can be remembered here.. " Dont change a winner team "..or unit ..if you dont know exactly why and how to improve it.
Do you put the right settings?
Please, put all the FBI file utilized here.

I found out!!!!!!

My comm had:

Code: Select all

    ExtractsMetal=0.001;

Which was preventing him from moving.

Bad new is that it means that the comm can't also be metal extractor...

Thanks for trying to help, though.
