Staredit Network -> Modding Assistance -> lol 2 more questions

Report, edit, etc...Posted by coolpotatoes on 2006-09-08 at 22:57:09

My mod is almost done but I need to know how to do two things first.
1. I changed the stargate flingy to a pylon. How do I resize its footprint so that when I build it, the placement size will be the same as a pylon's and not the size of the stargate?

2. I no very little about iscripting. I tried to make the Ion Cannon have an attack. 2 bugs with this script
1. cannon doesn't attack. has button and everything, .dat file edited too
2. when it builds it starts out as a zerg building morph graphic then goes invisible, then finishes. This is no big deal, but if someone can tell me how to fix this I would be most greatful

CODE

# 292 IonCannon (neutral\ion.grp)

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

IonCannonUnknown19:

goto IonCannonUnknown19

IonCannonDeath:

wait 1
end

local00:
wait 1
end

IonCannonGndAttkInit:
wait 1
goto IonCannonGndAttkInit

IonCannonIsWorking:
playfram 1
goto IonCannonGndAttkInit

Thanks!

If i fix these two problems, my mod should be ready to go minus a few more tech tree edits

As crappy as it is these will be my first real mod

1. this is hardcoded, sorry.

2.1. this is caused by a mistake you did, mind giving us more information?
2.2. can you explain what you want it to do more...?
If you want it to spawn normal, go to units.dat's graphics tab (in DatEdit), and change the Construction image to whatever race spawning (size of it is importaint too) file you want it to use.
After that, give it a spawning animation (iscript header Unknown21), a almost built animation (IsWorking header), and a built animation (Landing)

I know, it's confusing to deal with the unknown/mislabelled headers in the iscript, but here's a file I made that should help.

Wow, I feel really,really,really,really,really, stupid.
Somehow i just noticed this

CODE

IonCannonGndAttkInit:
wait 1
goto IonCannonGndAttkInit

that wait should be an attack 26, but where should i direct the script to with the goto command?

...I guess I should've looked at the iscript...

As for where to link it, it should work as IonCannonInit or IonCannonUnknown19.

The placement size can be changed in DatEdit, under the StarEdit tab.
