[swgbex]

Just finished moddin generals .. so i moved on to EAW .. nice and easy to learn

 

 

but any more experienced modders know if you could have hardpoints in buildings or ground units.. per say.. attacking an at at's neck with missiles?

i don't know but it'd be a great addition!

[Little.B]

Mh, could be possibe but this would also require a lot more hitpoints for ground units. And a new model for every ground unit I think...

[DragonShadow]

Probably could be done, if you're willing to take the time to do all that work.

[Necro]

i was thinking about vehicles only, not worth it for infantry but like at-at's and stuff!

[swgbex]

well buildings....

 

. :/

 

 

but think about it.. taking out the treads or legs of vehicles

Actually the turreted ground vehicles already use hardpointing, its just not damagable.  They work the same way that the hardpoints on the Corellian Corvettes work.

[swgbex]

wait.. does this game make every turret a hard point.. and the source of the engine as hard points.. in generals u defined stuff like that with a small diamond shaped bone. whos name corresponded to its use... normally

 

 

. if so.. hardpoints might not be hard at all to make.. ... just enabling it to show it on ground battles.. hmm

[SirNuke]

You need a model for each hitpoint plus the overall unit.  I think the unit entries are generic enough that they can be applied to ground units.  I am also fairly certain that if the Corvettes use hard points, they are defined in a completely different way than large capital ships.
