Re-use old upgrades, you cannot remove the 128 upgrade limit.

[H4mm3r]

So does that mean, 128 different upgrades (such as +25% to a weapon) or does it mean, 128 units can upgrade once? Nobody ever really explains that.

[Destiny]

128 different upgrades. I'm sure common sense tells you that there are always more than 128 units on a battlefield (Excluding start of game, blablabla).

[Dreadnought]

It can be removed by removing the script and changed by editing the script.

[Kris]

What script?

Anyway, the upgrade limit is Hardcoded

Oh boy, if you could tell us which script we have to remove without breaking any laws, we would have such an awesome modding breakthrough!

[Kris]

Heck Yes!

[Ion Cannon!]

Not really, the upgrade limit is just a minor annoyance. Its quite possible to reuse other upgrades from faction A for faction B and allow them to cost and do entirely different things.

[Mbob61]

128 upgrades should be more than enough if you reuse all the many many old zero hour ones.
Also, I'm almost definite the limit is hardcoded and breaking that is a big no no.

[cccdfern]

Aw noo!

How can I make an upgrade be unique in two forms?
Like have the basic overlord gattling cannon for china, and have an arty attachment for the americans one.
Ill upload codes.

[Mbob61]

Its quite simple really. The actual upgrade part in the upgrade ini has no specifics about faction or anything like that.
So you make an upgrade with a general sounding name like "tank advancement" or something like that.
Then use the "overlord contain" coding and have both triggered by the same upgrade. That should work ok.

[cccdfern]

Like this? Trouble is, I can't remember how I got it to work in the end.

[Mbob61]

Well, your code looks as if it will work but i thought you wanted both to work from the same upgrade.
If that is what you want you don't need to create the unique upgrade but make everything happen from the gattling cannon upgrade.
You just add that to the commandset and make the new weapon appear by the purchase of the single upgrade in places like the overlord contain and weaponset changes.
If you need more help just type in here or pm me and i will help more. I'll probably write some demo code for you to follow.

Mike

edit - A quick thing to help, everywhere you have put the new upgrade, just replace that with the gattling cannon upgrade and it should work. 1 upgrade causing multiple things to happen.

Edited by Mbob61, 12 November 2009 - 23:28.

[cccdfern]

Yeah the demo might make a bit more sense, sorry but you seem to have lost me.

This is how I think I see it, may not be correct:

Two overlords:
-Normal one for china
-New flamer one for USA with an arty upgrade

Each tank uses and upgrade, but they both get the arty, when I just want the chinese tank to upgrade
normally.


Is this easier to understand my logic or are we lost by each others tellings. ok ignore that.

[Mbob61]

Ill write out some code some time and either post it here or pm it

Mike

[Mbob61]

Sorry for double post but I thought I'd tell you the code is coming
I'm working on it right now.
I'll post it both in here and in a pm to you I'll edit my post when it is finished.

Mike

Ok, first the single upgrade and its commandbutton

Upgrade Upgrade_TankSpecs
  DisplayName           = UPGRADE:TankSpecs
  BuildTime               = 60.0
  BuildCost               = 2000
  ButtonImage           = SSCompositeArmor

  ButtonImage   = SSCompositeArmor
  ButtonBorderType              = UPGRADE; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel            = CONTROLBAR:TooltipUSAUpgradeCompositeArmor
End

Now i will add it to the warfactories of America and China. For China it replaces Chain Guns.

  2  = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleTomahawk

  10 = Command_UpgradeTankSpecs
  11 = Command_UpgradeAmericaTOWMissile
  13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
  14 = Command_Sell
End


CommandSet ChinaWarFactoryCommandSet
  1  = Command_ConstructChinaTankBattleMaster
  2  = Command_ConstructChinaTankOverlord
  3  = Command_ConstructChinaVehicleTroopCrawler
  4  = Command_ConstructChinaVehicleListeningOutpost

  10 = Command_ConstructChinaVehicleNukeLauncher
  11 = Command_ConstructChinaTankECM
  12 = Command_UpgradeChinaMines
  13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
  14 = Command_Sell
End

Ok, so now the effects. Firstly the Crusader for USA. I've made the upgrade give the Crusader a massively better locomotor. I will put in bold all relevent parts in the unit code.

There you have it. A single upgrade performing 2 totally different functions for 2 different factions. you can apply what i have shown above to your particular problem.
Hope this help anyone else. Ask if your confused.

[cccdfern]

so for It to work The upgrade needs to be bought at a structure. And the modules would be the same for a weapons set, good.
And thank you for all of your work.

Nope doesn't want to work, keeps crashing, in any case, instead, could we make a new upgrade instead?
