Is this possible to do for a MOD?

Postby rxnnxs » 08 May 2013, 00:02

Hi and hello to all of you!

I have an idea in my mind, not letting me go..
I am not sure if this is possible, maybe some modders can answer me this very quickly!

I would love to make a MOD, where a unit is able to be built upon. Or maybe there is also a MOD that tried this possibility or has it already?

Lets say there are units that have a platform at the top. On this, you can build an given amount of buildings.
its limited by space.
maybe this way a tech4 up to tech 6 can be built this way.
Tech4 would have the chassis of the T1 units but always with one or two places for Tech 1 Platforms (radar, Point Defense and so on).
The Tier 2 units would have the same place but up to T2 installations.
Then it would for instance look like this as attached at the bottom.
I am sure you get what i mean.

Is it possible in any way?

Thanks for any help and ideas in this!!

It's not possible to have units being built and that move, but it is definitely possible to have units get upgrades, or even units attached to them. Try making a unit that upgrades.

Thank you for this interesting response.
I was hoping that there is a way. But can you definitely say there is no no way?

It would be so awesome to let anybody decide what they build on it. Everything would be possible, from an T3 AA fortress up to and TML mover or an PD1 shooter. It could even be fittet out with a Radar or a support unit - for jamming, for build support, a mobile shield and so on and on!
Darn, if that all has to get an upgrade for every possible unit and for every possible place on the unit, it would be big.
but not impossible.

but if it is so, do i have to model each unit for every place?
Hmm... maybe it shall be designe in a way that you can not even see what they are built for.
there are just loopholes and there fits in all of what can be upgraded to. and then for every place there is a slot to build a special.
that way it could also drive around as a blender, having nothing of protection installed.. and someone could build potemkin villages.

haha, what a fun!
i should start now, hehe :-) oh wait, i have to change son's diapers!
