Is it possible to have one Building (like the CC) witch can carrie multiple addons? Because i want a system like it is shown in Halo wars, so it would be nice to have a CC with 12 Addons.
Anyway, is it possible to edit the place where the addons stays, like having one addon left to the CC and right to it?

I'm pretty sure you can do multiple addons. Remove the "Must Not Have Addon" or w/e from the DAT Req for the addon in FireGraft, and it should work.

You can edit where the addon appears. It's somewhere in DatEdit (and probably PyDAT). I think it's controlled through images.dat for some reason. I'll have more information for you soon but I don't have access to DatEdit/PyDAT atm.

im doing this for my mod, multiple addons. Do you have it where the add on option disapears once you already have that add on? That would be cool but i dont know how to do it :/

i think for the add on overlaping thing you wont beable to place them over eachother, but you could make the overlay building not centered so its actually getting placed above or bellow but it looks like its directly above.

So i tested it out and found out that 32 on x,y is like a half of an addon.

Screenshot 1 Nuke silo Y=96 X=128
Screenshot 2 Comsat station Y=0 X=128

But another problem is how to make negativ volumes like (-96).
When i have 128 and ten press - comes: 65408
I don think that 65408 is he negativ volume of 128?

I don't remember if this is a problem but I think it might, a while back I was experimenting with this with another modder. If I recall correctly if you lift off the building and then re-land it you cant attach the building back to both addons, but only one, heck it might not of connected to either, I don't remember.

STF mod creator, Modcrafters.com admin, CampaignCreations.org staff

In the older version of STF, a structure called the Floating Fortress had two add-ons that built in different locations. A player could create both, but by making the second one the first addon built became permanent and did not become neutral when lifting off.

Obviously 1 unit of position is the same unit used for measuring the unit dimensions.
I think its pixels maybe. Also I suppose that in order to place multiple addons to the building you would need to make dimensions of the ADDONS themselves smaller.

Anyways its a great idea, if you will make it work out let me know, I could use it in my mod too :bleh:
