I have seen BSTRhino do this, take the marines. they have 2 weapons merged into one icon. but he has a third icon that represents the Random Grenade. My question is, how did he do that? I am making the photon cannon have a trgtrangecondjump and I want to add an icon. Please help

umm if u want a random attack then i would use __1e_condjmp <1-250 randomizer value> <local##>

BSTRhino and Holocaust explained to me here

im guessing he equipped the marie with the grenade to get the icon... but never got the marine to use it direcly...

I never said I Wanted a random attack, I said I wanted the icon because my cannon uses Edmund Dukes attack at close range, and I want to show them that so they are not like '' This cannon is same, lets move on. '' Got that? but thanks for your help, petphot.

Weapon icons will show up in the display bar if they are set to either the ground or air weapon in units.dat. Also, some weapons, like spider mines and interceptors and scarabs, show up when a unit has at least 1 of them. Even though a unit has it as the air weapon, you can iscript it to not attack with that weapon.

So how do I iscript it to do that?
Make the air attack lead to ground attack init?

You could script its air attack to use it's ground weapon by way of attack25. Or that would work.

Just 1 problem. I'm gonna test this, but it seems that its already looped into the ground attack. interesting...

Don't let the air attack scripts have a script. Then, the ground script should have the jumps based on range and use the attack25 to choose the weapon. If you were useing the useweapon command, that is why the icon didn't show up.

I cant quite understand. If Im correct, your trying to remove the air attack script? that would cause the air attack to crash... I'm confused by this.

And I was using that.. I'll post my Photon Cannon script up:

Okay, I'm not sure if it will work, but change the attack26's to attack25's, add the air weapon. The flags in weapons.dat will tell it what it can and can't attack. Just because it has the weapon doesn't mean the script has to use it. If you still have the default photon weapon that might attack both air and ground, you might want to rename and allow it to attack both air and ground. Up to you, but that might work. Maybe if I knew more, I could be more specific, but that is what I've got right now.

Ok, Screw it. I removed The Edmund Duke shot and added a detection blast... but I did get it to show the icon, but it wouldnt attack air XP
Now another problem... how do you close topics?!?!?!?!
