For the vision area, i would take a look at Eye of Rhianne.
Since that unit creates vision areas and one would think you should be able to create a similar vision area on top of your paragon.

Thx! i made it work.

p.s. something totally diffrent.
I made so that every faction can build the paragon.
however there i 2 things i want to do with it.
1 i want to make it so that you can build only one. (this one i will probably be able to figure it out myself i've seen soe mods with unique units so)
2 i want to create a vision area for everyone to see around the paragon whenever it has been build (or is being constructed).

For that last point i have no idea where to start or if it is even possible...

uh if you want to disable all storage adjacency then you should edit the adjacency buffs table instead of this mystery hack.

otherwise you need to use some ecomod nonsense to do that, which is meh tbh.

How can i remove the bonus mass you get from placing mass storage next to mass exctractors?
I like to give this bonus always with or without mass storage.
I tried messing around with the bp.Economy.AdjacentMassProductionMod line but without succesm it doesn't even seem to affect it at all.

if Categories.ECONOMIC then
if bp.bp.Economy.StorageMass then
bp.Economy.AdjacentMassProductionMod = 0
end
end

you also have to change the UID of the mod for the new version. If you didnt do that, the upload will have created a file anyway. You have to skip the version you tried to upload and continue with the next one.

@Retard: unfortunately watching replays doesnt auto download mods (thats why these replays desync when you dont have the required mods). Your comment is true for maps but not for mods.

you cant remove mods from the vault. that would break replays.
to update a mod you upload one with the same name and a different version.

the current mod vault in python client is broken since it doesnt hide old versions of mods. so yeah.

Sure, you can change the scriptfiles from units, or you can also change scripts from gamefiles.

If you change game files, you need to copy those inside your mod inside the folder "hook\lua":

E.G. you like to change the defaultweapons.lua, then copy it to:

\Mods\YOURMODNAME\hook\lua\sim\defaultweapons.lua

And modify it there.

thx! I never wound have found those lines.

I can't seem to find out what i am doing wrong with these lines :S

Code:: --anti nukes max 3 storage if Categories.STRUCTURE and Categories.SIZE8 and Categories.SILO then if bp.Weapon then for _,weapon in bp.Weapon do if weapon.MaxProjectileStorage and weapon.CountedProjectile then Weapon.MaxProjectileStorage = 3 end end end end

btw i try to upload a mod in the fa lobby but after you select the file the upload button doesn't seem to work :S

p.s. do you know what the map file of the t3 anti air is (like ueb2108 being the uef missile launcher) i can't seem to find it . I want to test and try make the anti air unit also give some sort of missile defense.

Adding a Category into the array is way easier then removing, just one line:

Code:: table.insert(bp.Categories, 'TECH1')

Yeah but all of these weapons also have to have a point from where they start right? attach bone in code
I often tought about this one tough. Can you give this ability that easily to another unit then?
Apart from if it is possible or not and how cool it is, i think redirecting missiles could be to strong also.

p.s. i'm stil having trouble with giving a unit more categories in wirtten code.
You gave me a nice function to remove a category altough i haven't tried it as i haven't needed it but i can't find how to add one either.

Land Unit URL0303 (cybran - Loyalist) has antimissiledefence.

Look into URL0303_Script.lua and search for MissileRedirect.

Maybe every race should have at least one bot with antimissiledefense.
