Well it was faster to made the Mod then asking Icedreamer.
This is the new script:

Code:: local oldUnit=Unit Unit = Class(oldUnit) { OnLayerChange = function(self, new, old) oldUnit.OnLayerChange(self, new, old) if not EntityCategoryContains(categories.SUBCOMMANDER + categories.COMMAND, self) then if new == 'Water' and old == 'Land' then self:SetCustomName( 'Jesus' ) elseif new == 'Seabed' and old == 'Land' then self:SetCustomName( 'Moses' ) elseif new == 'Land' and (old == 'Water' or old == 'Seabed') then self:SetCustomName( '' ) end end end, }

And here is the downloadable mod:
http://faforever.uveso.de/HilariousMadMozart.rar

Extract the Rar and copy the folder HilariousMadMozart to your Modfolder.

Its now using the Unit.lua with a nondestructive hook.

It also filters commander and subcommander.

greetings Uveso.

@Exotic_Retard:

you are absolutly right. My first try was to hook the unit Class inside Unit.lua.

But BlackOps is also using the hook for all the cloak stuff. And i dont want to destroy Black Ops with it.

Maybe we can include the code in the official Version of BlackOps.

If i see IceDramer next time, i will ask him.

isnt that a sim side solution?

i mean that would work if you hook it into unit.lua or default_units.lua

but i kinda thought it would be better if it was a ui mod :/

Well, i dont have time to make a mod now, but if you add the code to all unit_script.lua by youself, you can make your own mod:

If the Unit Changes the layer from land to water it will be renamed to Jesus, and will delete the name if it's returned to Land.
Same with Underwater (seabed) and Moses.

Code:: OnLayerChange = function(self, new, old) TConstructionUnit.OnLayerChange(self, new, old) if new == 'Water' and old == 'Land' then self:SetCustomName( 'Jesus' ) elseif new == 'Seabed' and old == 'Land' then self:SetCustomName( 'Moses' ) elseif new == 'Land' and (old == 'Water' or old == 'Seabed') then self:SetCustomName( '' ) end end,

greetings, Uveso.

Ps: Script is tested and working.

Hilarious mod that everyone who heard it wanted it

Every hover unit that moves on water is renamed to "Jesus". Name is taken away when it moves on land again.
Same for every amphibious unit that moves underwater (except ACU, SACU and maybe t4) is renamed to "Moses". Name is taken away when it moves on land again.

Anyone who can make it happen will earn tons of fake internet fame points.
