Title: Changing Specific Unit Specs?
Post by: 4th Dimension on 16 Dec 2004, 19:08:56

I need a way to change unit specs easily for a mission I am making that basicly involves your civilian chopper going down in the middle of a jungle and being hunted by a superhuman. It is heavily inspired by Operation Firelord and the flim Predator. I need to make the superhuman a lot stronger than your average soldier and to have a weapon that fires faster and more accurately. I also wish him to be able to sprint for a long time. I have looked through all the scripts in the Editors Depot but cannot find any.

I want to change specif unit specs. Most units will have maximum skill level, otherwise the superhuman wil take them down to easily. I would also like to make the death of the superhuman scripted, and to hide and only kill when units get to close. I am new to scripting, so I could use some help.

There are some enhanced AI scripts in the Ed Depot that might help.

Here is a section from the config.cpp of a terminator addon; shows how to create a super-strong soldier. Full credit to the author.

   class T800 : SoldierWB{
      armor=60;
      armorStructural=17.500000;
      armorHead=14.700000;
      armorBody=14.800000;
      armorHands=18.500000;
      armorLegs=18.500000;

      cost=1600000;

      scope=2;

      minGunElev=-300;

                                irscanner=1;
      irScanRange = 5000;
      irScanGround = 1;
      laserScanner=1;

      midspeed=180
      maxspeed=180

      unitInfoType="UNITINFOAIRPLANE";
      displayName="T-800 (M27)";
                model="\T800\T800";
      weapons[]={StrokeGun,Throw,Put,M27Plasma,NVGoggles,};
      magazines[]={StrokeGun,M27Grenade,M27Grenade,M27Grenade,M27,M27,M27,M27};
   };
};
The relevant bits pertainingt to strength are:

      armor=60;
      armorStructural=17.500000;
      armorHead=14.700000;
      armorBody=14.800000;
      armorHands=18.500000;
      armorLegs=18.500000;

I'm not too sure what 'cost' and one or two other things mean, but there are some tutes in the addons depot that will explain all this.
