The Tank Bunker -COMPLETED

DaFool · Defense Minister **Joined**: 07 Nov 2006

I have made the tank bunker model and got it ingame, and it is working, to a point....

Basically I cloned the firebase and removed the weapon from it along with the 3 garrision points, so now it only can hold 1 unit. Sadly, all I can get into it is infantry, as demostrated from this pic. What I need to find out is; is there anyway to make it so that in a certain vehicle only vehicles can garrison. Once I do that, it's golden. Everything else works perfectly, except its infantry instead of tanks. So, any advice?

One good bet would be to wait for JJ to come here #Tongue

Well coding-wise I don't know how to do it, as vehicles can enter Tunnels, use that...I dunno, then give it a fireport or something...=/

The SWR team managed to get tank bunkers ingame in shockwave so it is doable.

It's not the problem that DaFool doesn't get them working, it's the problem of only letting specific vehicles enter it, like in YR. At least, that is what I suspect DaFool means...

Ok, I have got it to work exactly as it should. Credits go to the SWR team. I d/led thier mod and I took a look at their coding, and they had a couple tags I didn't know about. These tags went into the same module that goes with the firebase that allows it to have infantry garrisoned. Namely;

Code:

AllowInsideKindOf =
ForbidInsideKindOf =

Using those two tags can allow the modder to control what types of units enter the bunker. Case Closed.

The Slave Miner too? That seems unnecessary, but TBH I've never tried getting one into a bunker...

in YR, I believe every vehicle that has a turret with the exception of the Magnetron can enter a tank bunker

IIRC the slave miner was not able to garrison a tankbunker.

And even if it would be able to do so, it looks bad. #Tongue

Hehe, long live mods you can compare codes with #Tongue

I think it's a much better idea to use RiderContain (bike logic) since there isn't any neutron weapons in your mod anyway.

It's better because:
- You can control exactly what vehicles you want in (up to 9).
- Your vehicles won't be facing some random direction (will follow how you allign the model).
- You can control the weapon more directly (no need to meddle with weapon bonuses).

However, one key flaw is the maximum of 9, and with Yuri being the mind control faction, it might become a severe limitation, or you can just make it into a feature or something.
