Moving Units

[Col. Ben]

Hi again
ok i know how to make things move but im making a mission and iv got 2 to 6 Militia Tanks moving to a Bank that as a part of the mission it has broken into but the people were caught so the Tanks are coming and as they stop at front of it they blow up by 3 Stealth Fighters but i cant even make them blow up/die at the Bank or have 3 Stealth Fighters kill them pls help me on this.

[Me Myself & Pi]

Well to have the tanks blow up, select the action "Unit\Damage or Remove\Kill a specific unit."

Now to get the tanks to blow up by stealth fighters, you'll have to use more scripting then just telling the fighters to attack them. They'll have to get destroyed when the missles hit the tanks, but first use he script for telling one unit to attack another is "Unit\Attack\Set unit to attack another unit." Now create a script with this condition "Unit\Attacked\Unit has been attacked by a player." or you can use the condition right under it "Unit has been attacked by a specific unit type." Now for the action "Unit\Damage or Remove\Kill a specific unit." You'll have to create a script like this for each of the 3 tanks for the best affect.

Have fun!

Thx but for some reason nothing is working on it now the planes just go round and round at the edge of the map and the tanks dont come in.

[Zancloufer27]

Name the planes
Name the tanks
Have each plane attack each tank using Scripts>If True> Unit 'X' Attacks Unit 'Y'
Also, give the tanks about 50 health each, so they get destroyed easily ;)

I'm spending 5 days to week at my grandma's & won't be able to get our computer hooked up to the internet. So for now I'll use my grandparents computer which is hooked up to the internet. This computer is a Mac while mine is a PC & I really don't want to go through the installation of the game on this computer (my grandparents probably wouldn't want me to anyway.)

So I'll be able to post replies, not download any files for a awhile.

P.S. Please put your compressed files in .zip format because I don't have a RAR extractor.

[Col. Ben]

Ok but last time i got the map attached that was only by luck zip and rar them things they all confuse me.

[Me Myself & Pi]

Today I was able to borrow a router so I'm able to be on the internet line too. I'll be able to download file from now on.

Here's a empty .zip folder. Go ahead & put your map in it & upload it. You can create your own by going to "File" then "New" then "Compressed (zipped) Folder"

GREAT Now there was kinda no point in this thread my bro came on went on world builder and guess what he deleted about 5 maps in culding the 1 these Q's where about.

[Me Myself & Pi]

If you haven't been on the world builder for no more then 6 minutes, & the last map you were on is the map were talking about. Then you'll still be able to get it. The world builder autasaves every 2 minutes. If you go to "My documents\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data" then you'll see 3 .map files. The first one is the last autasave, the second was saved 2 minutes before the first one & the 3rd was saved 4 minutes. So go ahead & one of those files, put it into a folder with the same name. Then put that into the maps folder. Now you can open it up in the world builder. But remember. You'll only get your map(s) back if no one has been on the world builder for no more then 6 minutes.

[Col. Ben]

I know but i had all ready checked that and it wasnt there i went on the search thingy on my comp and it still couldnt find it.

[Me Myself & Pi]

I just thought of somthing. You can just dowload your map that you uploaded on page one! You'll be able to get it back!

[chaoscontrol512]

Y'know, there's this great invention called the "Recycle Bin". Deleted files get moved there before going into the big black hole in cyberspace. You can reclaim your map there.

[Col. Ben]

I know i same with that auto save thing i check before som1 told me about it.
