Thanks for the upload, I'll give it a look later and let you know if I come accross any problems.

Sorry, I'll be uploading an update today. I took the current one down because of the bugs.

EDIT: I have updating the link for the lastest version of my mod version 1.1. 1.1 includes a major unit mechanic change so be sure to check the changelog.

"50" after the UnitId means, if the AI want's to build a MassStorage it will be to 50% your unit UAC1401c.

Thats all, now the AI can build it.

THAT'S what that mystery number means! Brilliant!

This is great info, thanks for posting this!

Ah so the size factor there is hotbox size? No wonder. The tutorial I had used said those values were used to change the model size independent of the uniform size values. Lol. As for the skirt size I was hoping to make the building the same size as a T1pgen or storage, but perhaps this is the best compromise.

The Uniform Scale is AFAIK the only way of controlling the model size, without manually editing the models yourself. Sadly this does mean there's no X/Y/Z stretching you could do (Taller Mass Extractors/Towers would be loooovely.) .. (Unless I'm wrong.)

I like the look of all this stuff. I'll check it out ingame, I might even share it with my friends to include in our own collection of mods we always use. (EDIT: Or not, Link's dead)

Lets take a look at the unit XSC2201c:

To show the blue Hitbox, press [SHIFT]+[CTRL]+[ALT]+[C]
you see, the hitbox is way to big for the small building and the Skirt is to small for the background tarmac and the (4)selectors are also to small (see next picture).

Changing the hitbox is easy, just remember that "y" is the unit height.

Code:: SizeX = 1.5, SizeY = 2.0, SizeZ = 1.5,

With adjusted Size settings, the unit will now look like this:

To fix the Skirt size, we need to change also the Skirtoffset.
Skirtoffset can only be set to 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and so on. If you use a offset of 1.0 or 2.0 then you cant attach the building to another building.
Original offset is 0.5, and the only possible next bigger offset is 1.5.
So with those settings:

Code:: SkirtOffsetX = -1.5, SkirtOffsetZ = -1.5, SkirtSizeX = 4, SkirtSizeZ = 4,

your unit now looks like this:

Now we change the size of the selectors:

Code:: SelectionSizeX = 1.0, SelectionSizeZ = 1.0,

[edit] If you think, the skirtsize is to big for the building have in mind, units need some space to drive between buildings.

Alright, so I've fixed just about all of the errors you've shown me Uveso. Thanks for your help. I'll be uploading the updated version soon. One note, the small foot print on my XSC2201c regen field generator is intentional. I've got the skirt set to 2x2 as normal, but the only way I could get the model properly aligned is to set the footprint to 1x1. I'm not sure why, but otherwise the model is either offset or the footprint is offset like a wall or a T1 defense structure.

Just a typo,

Inside unitblueprint you wrote:

MaintanenceConsumptionPerSecondEnergy = 150,

but should be:

MaintenanceConsumptionPerSecondEnergy= 150,

Also change inside the unitscript:
from:

Code:: local CStructureUnit = import('/lua/cybranunits.lua').CStructureUnit

Code:: local CMassFabricationUnit = import('/lua/cybranunits.lua').CMassFabricationUnit

Remember to change the class everywhere:

Code:: URC1401 = Class(CMassFabricationUnit) {

and

Code:: CMassFabricationUnit.OnCreate(self)

Script lua should look like this then:

Code:: local CMassFabricationUnit = import('/lua/cybranunits.lua').CMassFabricationUnit URC1401 = Class(CMassFabricationUnit) { OnCreate = function(self) CMassFabricationUnit.OnCreate(self) self.WindowEntity = import('/lua/sim/Entity.lua').Entity({Owner = self,}) self.WindowEntity:AttachBoneTo( -1, self, 'URC1401' ) self.WindowEntity:SetMesh('/effects/Entities/URC1401_WINDOW/URC1401_WINDOW_mesh') self.WindowEntity:SetDrawScale(0.1) self.WindowEntity:SetVizToAllies('Intel') self.WindowEntity:SetVizToNeutrals('Intel') self.WindowEntity:SetVizToEnemies('Intel') self.Trash:Add(self.WindowEntity) end, } TypeClass = URC1401

Thats all

After working for quite a bit today I've managed to fix most of the bugs that you have posted and I've edited some units to be more balanced in my opinion as well as tested a new buildrate adjacency feature I might add on one of my buildings. However when trying to fix the Mass Storage and Fabrication buildings I've run into a problem. I can't get them to consume energy. Here is my code for the script and bp if you can provide some insight.

Unit bp

sure, you can do it in the same file. just write:

Code:: UnitList = { T3MassCreation= { UEF = {'UAC1401c', 50}, -- Experimental Mass Storage & Fabricator }, MassStorage= { UEF = {'UAC1401c', 50}, -- Experimental Mass Storage & Fabricator }, }

Now if the AI wants to build a T3MassCreation or MassStorage it will be to 50% your unit.

Re: Civilians V2 Useful civilians mod

If you want the AI thinking its building a mass fabricator, then you can change the platoonname inside customunits to T3MassCreation:

Code:: UnitList = { T3MassCreation= { UEF = {'UAC1401c', 50}, -- Experimental Mass Storage & Fabricator }, }

And if you want the AI to build your Mass Storage & Fabricator if it needs an Tech2 Radar :

Code:: UnitList = { T2Radar= { UEF = {'UAC1401c', 50}, -- Experimental Mass Storage & Fabricator }, }

Makes no sense, but will work.

Well for this particular building it would think it's building a mass fab. For the hybrid it would think it's building one or the other. Hmm. Well for the hybrid building would it be possible to code it in separate brackets as a mass storage as well as a fabricator
This way if it needs storage it will build it 50% of the time or if it needs a fabricator it would build it 50% of the time.
