You can do more then one unit, but first things you should not do:

This won't work: ( 2 or more units in a buildplatoon for the same faction)

Code:: UnitList = { T1GroundDefense = { Cybran = {'brmt1expdt2', 50}, -- Name: Pen mk2 (Experimental Point Defense) Cybran = {'brpt1pd', 50}, -- Name: Hethula-Uttaus (Heavy Point Defense) Cybran = {'brnt2pd2', 50}, -- Name: Ace mk.2 (Heavy Point Defense) }, }

This won't work: (more then one unique buildplatoon (like 2 x T1GroundDefense) in the same file)

Code:: UnitList = { T1GroundDefense = { Cybran = {'brmt1expdt2', 50}, -- Name: Pen mk2 (Experimental Point Defense) Seraphim = {'brpt1pd', 50}, -- Name: Hethula-Uttaus (Heavy Point Defense) }, T1GroundDefense = { UEF = {'brnt2pd2', 50}, -- Name: Ace mk.2 (Heavy Point Defense) Cybran = {'brmt2pd', 50}, -- Name: Sabertooth (Heavy Point Defense) }, }

But if you use different platoons, you can fill up the file as much as you want:

Code:: UnitList = { T1GroundDefense = { Cybran = {'brmt1expdt2', 50}, -- Name: Pen mk2 (Experimental Point Defense) Aeon = {'brot1hpd', 50}, -- Name: Zpyker (Heavy Point Defense) Seraphim = {'brpt1pd', 50}, -- Name: Hethula-Uttaus (Heavy Point Defense) }, T1LandDFTank = { UEF = {'brnt1htt3', 50}, -- Name: Predator mk.3 (Heavy Tank) Cybran = {'brmt1at', 50}, -- Name: Roach (Assault Tank) Aeon = {'brot1mt', 50}, -- Name: Lintea (Medium Tank) Seraphim = {'brpt1asta', 50}, -- Name: Hethistle-ve (Assault Tank) }, T2ShieldDefense = { Cybran = {'qrb4208', 30}, -- ED6: Gilmore (Village Shield Generator) }, T3ShieldDefense = { UEF = {'qeb4408', 55}, -- UHSD Puls: Cochran (Village Shield Generator) Aeon = {'qab4408', 55}, -- Cashton (Village Shield Generator) Seraphim = {'qsb4408', 55}, -- Atha Ythisioz (Village Shield Generator) }, }

And you can put up to 5 units in each platoon. For every faction one Unit:

Code:: UnitList = { T4LandExperimental2 = { UEF = {'qeb4410', 50}, -- EXHSD Puls: Bucksport (Metropolis Shield Generator) Cybran = {'qrb4410', 50}, -- ED8: Bovill (Metropolis Shield Generator) Aeon = {'qab4410', 50}, -- Jenks (Metropolis Shield Generator) Seraphim = {'qsb4410', 50}, -- Athayii Ythisioz (Metropolis Shield Generator) Nomads = {'qnb4410', 50}, -- Wagos (Metropolis Shield Generator) }, }

To wrap up, I need to create a separate .lua for each unit in the CustomUnits folder, right? So, to add a land unit, I would have a separate file (ModLandUnit.lua) and do:

Code:: UnitList = { T1LandUnit { UEF = {UELMOD1, 100}, } }

Thanks. I gotta see what I did wrong w/Sorian installation, but that will be easy.

Also, that base is now the most OP base there ever was. Nothing will get through those.

Hello Lex Ryder,

i tested the mod wit 6 UEF Sorian AIx with 1.4 cheat+build.

All AI are building unit UEBMOD2 after 12-15 minutes.

It's working fine.

I'm unsure if this is the proper way to share this, but here is a ZIP of what I have thus far. I can't seem to crack the AI build code. I'm using UEBMOD2 unit as the test subject.

Hello Lex Ryder,

without testing i can't say more. The syntax of the UnitList array is fine.

Maybe the case-sensitive unitID is the problem ?

[edit]
PS: "hook" dir is wrong;

Code:: \Mods\yourmodname\lua\CustomUnits\yourunits.lua

Alright, I've been out of the SC Loop for a while. I'm about to get back into my modding, but still don't know exactly what's wrong with this particular problem. Anyone?

Okay, so this is what's all here and it's still building the normal UEF T1 Defense. Logically, it should be working, right?

...mods/insane/hook/lua/

ModPointDefense.lua

Code:: UnitList = { T1GroundDefense = { UEF = {'uebmod2', 100}, }, }

That should do it - the 100 insures that it will be a 100% replacement of anything else.

Something like this?

Code:: UnitList = { T1GroundDefense = { UEF = {'uebmod2', 100}, }, }

Are you able to build the item manually ? If so, then you're almost there. Speed has shown you what you need to make it happen.

If testing is all your interested in, bump the 50 value up to 100, that will insure that he builds your new unit when he's ready build T1 Ground Defense.

If you want to add more than one unit to the T1 Ground Defense for the UEF, you'll need a second ModPointDefense.lua file, for example, ModPointDefense2.lua.

Code:: UnitList = { T1GroundDefense = { Cybran = {'urbmod1', 25}, -- Pointdefense from Logan UEF = {'uebmod2', 50,} -- Pointdefense from Logan UEF = {'uebmod1', 50}, -- Pointdefense from Logan },

I never tried this myself so can't tell you for sure how to make it work but few things I know:

There's syntax error on this line

Code:: UEF = {'uebmod2', 50,} -- Pointdefense from Logan

the comma needs to be after the } bracket

Another thing is that lua tables are array of key = value,
which means that you have a key UEF and value {'uebmod2', 50}
but the next line overwrites it since you're defining key UEF again
so only this line

Code:: UEF = {'uebmod1', 50},

Will end up in the final table.
