Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
Perhaps you could have an abandon mechanic when the cockpit has been breached...

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
Pretty trivial thing, but the mech weapons are all named "Aegis *Weapon Name*" Its just that the mech names are all different and I thought they are all individual model names, so the guns that belong to them would also have those names. Then I managed to do something really wierd and I was playing an "imaginary fight" with Aegis VS. Geti zombies as guerilla fighters. I shot the cockpit cover off and killed the pilot normally. Then, suddenly the mech died in flames and started repeatedly spamming copies of its weapon until there was a huge pile of them. I bet its a bug, since there might be something funny with your weapon respawn code. When the mech dies normally by means of health reduction, it will repeateadly drop its weapons due to hardcode and this causes the code to flip the ♥♥♥♥ out. While its a bug, it made cool piles of destroyed missile launchers which pretty much looked nice as a monument that you destroyed the mech. EDIT: Make a boss style activities with the mechs. And also add the mechs to the MIX activities. A boss activity would look like this: Very slow rate of spawning, sligthly higher starting funds and only mechs. Code: //BOSS MODE ACTIVITIES
AddActivity = GABaseDefense PresetName = Skirmish Defense SceneName = Grasslands TeamCount = 2 PlayerCount = 1 TeamOfPlayer1 = 0 FundsOfTeam1 = 20000 FundsOfTeam2 = 20000 CPUTeam = 1 Difficulty = 3 SpawnIntervalEasiest = 150000 //2,5 minutes per spawn SpawnIntervalHardest = 60000 //1 minute per spawn
// BOSS MODE AddAttackerSpawn = AHuman CopyOf = UniTec Aegis AddAttackerSpawn = AHuman CopyOf = UniTec Nimbus AddAttackerSpawn = AHuman CopyOf = UniTec Cygnus //ADDITIONALLY SOME HEAVY SOLDIERS MAYBE?

Honestly though, it needs to be able to aim higher than it does currently.

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
This looks great! I love this mod because you make it SO easy to dual wield Nice job on the mechs as well. But I don't think they're supposed to be able to do this are they? Attachment:

EDIT: I also gotta say, the sheer amount of weapons in your mod is amazing, great work! EDIT2: I also had the gun-spawning problem as numgun, but it happened only with the Nimbus mech, and it happened whenever that mech died (not just by the pilot being killed). EDIT3: Nevermind, the gun-spawning thing happens whenever a mech isn't killed by an explosion directly below it.

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
Yeah, they can wield any weapon you add during purchase. To my knowledge there's not really a way to circumvent that. I don't understand those spawning weapons though. I haven't had the issue myself.

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
Just make the weapons gib explosively. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
It seems the infinite weapon thing doesn't only occur when the mech is destroyed.
I tried something on the Aegis, dunno if that's common to all mechs. If you drop your weapon, it'll gib, and you'll immediately get a new one, reloaded.

The Presets
Epic Mod Trouble is, I can't figure out how to use the presets. I made myself a Coalition Engineer, following the instructions, but apparently there's some glitch with line 356, which is GoldValue for the WEC Elite Stormtrooper's shotgun. Zero coding experience here. Game crashes whenever I load. Anybody know how to help?

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
Lines between /* and */ aren't counted, so I think it's "CopyOf = Soldier Light" that is giving you problems. This would make sense, since you can't make references to other .rte's (apart from base.rte). However, putting it down like this solves your problem: "CopyOf = Coalition.rte/Soldier Light"
@The Decaying Soldat: The attached lua files take care of that, so that the mechs don't run out of weapons if you accidentally drop them.

Re: UniTec (B23_1.2.2)
But that would make reloading unnecessary.

I haven't had the issue myself. Ask Darlos, he has a little flying drone thing that can't pickup any weapons or wield any one you add during purchase. Code: if not self:HasObject("Aegis Mortar") then AegisGun2 = CreateHDFirearm("Aegis Mortar") self:AddInventoryItem(AegisGun2) When the mech dies, it drops its weapon because it died. So the script repeatedly creates new weapons for the mech. But the mech can't pick them up because its dead. So they keep spawning until the script stops running. EDIT: The Decaying Soldat wrote: But that would make reloading unnecessary. Either way it doesn't save you much time because the mech has short reload times.
