r2d2 theft

[VileMrrrgh]

if we set technology acquired by slicer to yes on the star desrtoyer, is it possible that r2d2 could steal that tech and allow the rebels top build star destroyers?

[plokoon9619]

Yes

[DragonShadow]

However, you'll also need to make the Star Destroyer buildable by the Rebels ( Empire, Rebel )...I think...

[VileMrrrgh]

ahhh, sounds like fun.....but I would like to make it a limit, in one of the other forums someone mentioned making a SD that was somehow in the EU, how can I make it so the Reb's can only have one ???

[DragonShadow]

Well, you could make a variant (Rebel_Star_Destroyer or something) that the Empire can't build, but the rebels can after they steal it from the Empire. Then simply add 1 to the Rebel SD's xml entry, and you have a Rebel SD and you can only build one...

[VileMrrrgh]

fantastic, thnx dragonshadow

[Zer_Teron]

and make sure that you have the Unlocked by Slicer and junk only on the varient

Anyways I have gotten the unit to be added, as that was my goal....although it deployed TIE's.(easy fix) also The single unit that I wanted did not work.  Take a look see where I messed up....

I have not updated text on it yet, I wanted to make sure the unit was working as I wanted it before I updated the text on it.

[DragonShadow]

Aggh. Stupid me. Try 1 instead of the lifetime limit one. Unless you want to build it only once (ever). If you just use the Current limit, when it's destroyed you can build another one.

[VileMrrrgh]

yes thanks I actually found that when I was looking at someones DeathStar code......but hey the help is always appreciated...Now all I have to do is make up some cool info for why the Reb's have a Star Destroyer

[VileMrrrgh]

ok ok, one final question with this subject then it can go away.  when I made my rebel sd, which I got to only produce one...it was "Build_Limit_Lifetime_Per_Player" how do I get it to stop deploying TIEs...I added the code to make it deploy xwings and such, but it did not take effect...checked my work, everything is correct...any idea?? I will paste it for youto see.

Does it spawn X-wings and TIE fighters, or just the TIEs?

 

Meh. There's a foolproof way to make it not spawn TIEs. Instead of making it a variant of Star_Destroyer, just copy Generic_Star_Destroyer's code and make the necessary changes to it so that it becomes the rebel star destroyer. Like this:

Try replacing the Rebel_Star_Destroyer code with this version. It should work...

[Stellar_Magic]

I know this error... its stupid but hey.

 

Simple fix, though.  Check and see if the Generic_Star_Destroyer has spawning fighters.  If it does cut out the code and put it in the normal Star_Destroyer code.  Now make the unit a variant of Generic_Star_Destroyer and tweak as necessary.

[VileMrrrgh]

ok next time I get some time I will try that...today I have to wrok on cars....boo rather be playin my game.
