Resource Maintenance Modding Question

[Nottonius]

Hello.

Question: Is it possible to enforce mandatory energy maintenance (without a toggle button) for a unit that normally does not have maintenance.

Economy = {
MaintenanceConsumptionPerSecondEnergy = 200, #for radar
},

I have been able to enable energy maintenance through the implementation of the toggle buttons (toggle radar). When a unit is created at the factory, however, radar is active but the energy maintenance is NOT. I can click the toggle radar button to turn the radar off and when I turn the radar on again, THEN the energy maintenance is active. This is not practical, of course, as the player simply would never turn the radar off upon being built.

I saw that a cybran stealth plane has code to disable its stealth upon completion at the factory. Looks like the code is in the unit's script file so I am worried that I would have to enable maintenance by copying every unit folder and its contents to modify the scripting file (I'm relatively unskilled).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

So, you want to enable maintenance consumption when a unit exits a factory? I'm pretty sure that's part of the default unit code...

But I'm probably wrong. What exactly is it you're trying to do?

I'm trying to impose energy maintenance for units as soon as they are operational (finished being built).
