Generals Power

You see on the screenshot that the Mines and Scrambler are unavailable, is there a way to make them only available that early for the Boss General? Without cloning / creating new powers.

And how can I make a General Power like an upgrade, I have seen tutorials for an Artillery Barrage clone, but what I desire is some sort of cloaking upgrade, just like demolitions. Making it purchasable (?) at game start. Only infantry can be able to buy cloaking. Is that clear enough #Tongue

?

The method IS cloning.

You need clones of the entires in:
Science.ini
Commandbutton.ini
-Purchase Science
-Support Power
-Support Power From Shortcut
Commandset.ini
SpecialPower.ini

A simple clone will do the trick. You can see this is what the devs did because some of the Sciences are named "XXXEarly"

I used this for my upgrade:

Code:

Behavior = StealthUpdate ModuleTag_09
ScienceRequired = SCIENCE_Cloak
StealthDelay = 0 ; msec
StealthForbiddenConditions = MOVING ; stays stealthy while attacking
FriendlyOpacityMin = 30.0%
FriendlyOpacityMax = 80.0%
PulseFrequency = 500 ; msec
MoveThresholdSpeed = 3
InnateStealth = Yes
OrderIdleEnemiesToAttackMeUponReveal = Yes
End

It gives me an error at startup of the game. It is the code from the Pathfinder. I added them onto the Ranger, Tank Hunter and Hacker
Can I use the science icon on the unit itself too?

Like:
UpgradeCameo2 = SCIENCE_Cloak

Stop adding lines to modules that don't belong in there. ScienceRequired is NOT one of the tags associated with StealthUpdate. You did this before in that other thread.

I'm sorry, I guess in my entheusiasm (?) I added the ScienceRequired line which came from the RedGuardTraining...

But, I wanted them to become stealth when you select the General ability, they become stealth as soon as they come out of the barracks, with or without the power

Modules only can use a certain set of tags, while whole objects you can treat like frankenstein and add whatever module you want, you can't just add whatever you want inside the module.

Sciences are used for four things: Support Powers (command buttons too), Veterancy Upgrades, and Unit Prerequisites. If you want to use a science that grants an upgrade, you'll have to use a work around like making a unit require the science and then having that unit grant the upgrade, or having an upgrade use the ScienceRequired Tag. Both of which require you to click on a button after buying the science.
