Incase your wondering y, its because I am made a moon mod ter and only need this. All tanks will be ufos, and they will all have huge suspension ranges. Also, I need to know (in more detail) how to add powerup gates? JUust so u kno I have looked at modding resource and several websites, and only found very, very ,vage statments. Thx for helps.

~CS~

Lighttank.shapefile = "5"; I think it's 5 might be 4

4 for small ufo
5 for boss ufo

Thx gise, thats great!

Well, I geuss your wondering Y I wanted to use this. Well I made a moon ter.on TGE. In my new mod CS2: Scrum on the Moon, all tanks will be either ufo's or boss's. They will have a huges suspensionrange. I've done that. I'm workin on a basic weapon set of weapons that have no gravity and have slower velosity. They will be the normal weapons, but on missle nuke projectile. But when I tried to make the light and med tank ufo's, I loaded my mission and tada:

                                        // ***Baby Boss UFO***

                                        Lighttank.shapeFile = "game/data/shapes/tanks/tank04.dts";

                                        Lighttank.brainShapeFile = "game/data/shapes/tanks/brainjar04.dts"; // not sure if that's right

                                        // ***Boss UFO***

                                        Lighttank.shapeFile = "game/data/shapes/tanks/tank05.dts";

                                        Lighttank.brainShapeFile = "game/data/shapes/tanks/brainjar04.dts";

                                        

Try that, I havn't tested it yet so it may not work. I don't know if the baby boss UFO has brainjar04.

[EDIT]
GoldLightTank.shapeFile = " ";
GoldLightTank.brainShapeFile = " ";
SilverMediumTank.shapeFile = " ";
SilverMediumTank.brainShapeFile = " ";
ect. That should work for bots. Same thing as above goes in " ".[/EDIT]

Best way: (this will change your tanks to UFOs, not just the shape)

                                        

                                        package AllUFO

                                        {

                                         function TankData::OnAdd(%this,%obj)

                                         {

                                         %obj.setdatablock("BabyBoss");

                                         %obj.client.startingtankdb = "BabyBoss";

                                         }

                                        };

                                        Activatepackage("AllUFO");

                                        

Haven't tested but it should work!

Ya, I thought about doin something like that... Thx, saves me some work! But knowone else hase told me about (in great detail) pup gates!
Some who uses them freuquently could give hhow they use them. NO links. Like I said above, I have checked the modding resource. Billy Bob is not helpful, neither is anyone else. Thx!

Pup gates are easy!

                                        

                                        function powerupgate::onEnter(%client, %this, %tank)

                                        {

                                         PowerUpData::onEnter(%client,%this,%tank);

                                        }

                                        datablock PowerUpData(powerupgate)

                                        {

                                         category = "PowerUp";

                                         shape = "~/data/shapes/common/recharge.dts";

                                         type = "weapon";

                                         minOff = 0;

                                         maxOff = 0;

                                         startOn = true;

                                         shadow = true;

                                         shadowAnimation = true;

                                         aiPickup = true;

                                        Sound = "PupOnSound";

                                         soundOff = "PupOffSound";

                                        };

                                        

This code is from a file I made like half an year ago, with tank changer gates, powerup gates, health gates, kill gates, teamkill gates, team change gates, etc

I know, but how do I place it on the.mis? I dont want just all pup gates... I keep getting that from everyone. I guess I should be more specific. In the mission file, what do I do to place it on a certain spot in my mods?

BTW, by looking at these, I've made a "Make Gold Gate" Make Bronze Gate, and Make Silver Gate (as in the bots). I just dont no how to activate it! God, I stupid I guess. W/e, this seems like it would be a sitch, but when it comes to.mis files, I suck!

Well, just place a powerup in the mission, then in the.mis, find where it is and change the line "datablock =" line to "datablock = "THE DATABLOCK YOU USED FOR THE GATE";" For example, "datablock = "powerupgate";"

Thx, that makes sense!

LOL! Art, well it seems that ur gate has several feature of a pup. Once I go through it a few times, it disapears! When it comes back, its an actual pup! LOL! This does help me though, thx!

Well, whenever the pup gate getts a health powerup it becomes an actual health powerup. I'm gonna see if I can fix this!

Its fixable and easy... Tip: special.cs, the PowerUpData::OnEnter function.
