Suffice to say that it [i]isn't working.[/i] That is, in the latest test, when I lured an enemy drone in and told the command center to attack it, the building immediately started [b]CHASING[/b] (lolwut?) the drone back to it's base, not responding to commands, until it stopped in the middle of the enemy's base, attempted to fire, and the game crashed. :crazy:

I think it's safe to say you have encountered a minor problem.

It's working much better now, with two exeptions: -It refuses to auto-attack. -If the Command Center deals the finishing blow to a unit, the game crashes.

I [s]think[/s] hope I've got the CC fixed, but that needs moar testing. Next: I gave the civilian the ability to build structures and repair, and made it buildable in the CC (FireGraft ftw). There are two problems, however: -When I click on the button to build basic buildings, the Command Center, Supply Depot, and Refinery buttons are not only greyed out (despite my owning a CC), but are unclickable and don't display text. -When repairing, the civilain spawns a Mature Chrysalis sprite at his location.

You need to edit the dat requirements in Firegraft. Each building has a list of opcodes that it follows. Just add this to each building that you want the civilian to be able to be built: [code]Or Current unit is... Civilian[/code] Now, go to the orders tab in the dat requirements and make sure that the repair function(s) also has (have) that.

The civilian can build now (and could repair), but I still have the problem of the chrysalis sprite. One spawns under the civilian every time one would see the "spark" from an SCV's Fusion Cutter during building or repairing. I think that giving the civ a weapon (like the fusion cutter) might resolve the problem, but I'm not sure.

I think the game is calling a header that isnt in your script. Make sure your civilian has similar headers and scripts as the SCV.

[quote=name:Laser Dude]Also, to the OP, you used the [font=monospace]attackshiftproj[/font] opcode for your attack (like the Firebat does...), I'm thinking perhaps what you needed would be [font=monospace]attack[/font], for your missiles, although, not being sure what [font=monospace]attackshiftproj[/font] actually does with ranged weapons (I know it fires melee weapons at the specific distance in front of the unit...). Perhaps it tells the missile to appear in front of the unit?[/quote] Yes, it specifies how far in front it will appear and it does work for projectiles. edit: heh, I didn't even realize I was replying to a post in the same topic; I had a tab that was already open for replying to that post.

Make sure that your unit actually waits before moving on to the next command after the attack opcode. Say an attack takes 12 clicks to finish -- your unit should have: [code]... attack wait 12 ...[/code]

Epic mod will be epic if/when I finish it. :sly: Also, been trying to convert the Nexus (after re-imagining what I'd been working on).
