Building Resources

[DarkNation]

Hey there, I'm making a little first time test-mod called Lead War. I'd just like to know if it'd be possible for a building to hold it's own resources, instead of being stored in the team's resources.

Say I wanted to create a Supply Depot or something, and nearby workers would store it in that building, and it would not be transfered into the team's resources, but the buildings, and you could 'summon' buildings granted that that particular building had enough resources.

I'd just like to know if it is possible without too much reworking of the code. Anything else would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ohh..... tricky one. This would definatly require a lot of triggering. Have to go off and think about it.

Also, how can I change the starting building (Town Hall) to a custom building?

By removing the "create starting units" action,
and adding a couple "unit - create" actions.

How would I go about doing this?

 

[w/e]

go to the trigger editor
go to melee initialization
delete the line create starting units for all players.

or maybe you can just edit the town hall building to make it look different like change the model file in it and give it some new abilities.

alright, i did that, but when I play test it, it says "You will be revealed to your enemies unless you build a Town Hall."

 

[AceHart]

> "You will be revealed ... "

That's the action "Enforce victory / defeat ...". Just remove it.

Thank you

Now for another question. How do I go about restricting certain units from building some things? I have a 'General' to send out an order for it (places the building with no one working on it), and I only want one type of unit to actually build it.
