Also, when I use an actor to activate the dummy factory control module, it spazes out. Is there a better way to activate it?
Also, randomly, when I have production on infinite and with 100k, production randomly stops. I have a sneaky suspicion that its because of the actor in the dummy factory control module spazzing out. For your first issue, if you read the main post you will find that you can set the dummies to a go-to point using the operator of the console. Dummies created will go to this point. A nice alternative is to place one end of a teleporter at the exit of the Conveyor and place the other end more near the battlefield. Regarding your second issue, the actor using the console becomes pinned in place. It was the only way I thought of at the time to keep the actor from moving all over the room and possibly outside it. Recently, however, I did get an idea to sprite a dummy or two sitting down at the terminal which would be a stationary actor spawned with the terminal that would allow you to select and operate it as if a mobile actor was there. We'll see. The final issue I suspect may be your scene reaching the MOID cap. Kyred cleverly wrote a little bit in the coding to automatically halt further Dummy production if you are close to the MOID cap, so avoid you producing a dummy and potentially auto-gibbing another of your units. Another possibility is you are leaving the console open and the actor you've got operating it is triggering the menu keys with the AI, possibly hitting the on/off switch. It should be noted that you do not need to keep the Terminal open and active to keep the Factory running on Loop setting. You can close the terminal at will and the factory will keep going until you either run out of funds, the MOID cap is close, or you shut it off yourself with a Remote or Terminal system.

Re: Gentlemen, The Dummy Factory.
Ok, so I activate the console by crouching...is there a way to unhinge the actor?

Because the Dummies don't need any help to be more powerful than the other factions.

Re: Gentlemen, The Dummy Factory.
I'd love to see some more frames put in to make the whole process smoother, and the little skip-age before the head is attached fixed.

Re: Gentlemen, The Dummy Factory.
Well, this should be vanilla with orders and all. This is how units are created [in cc] I'm guessing: Coalition: Cloning tubes. Dummy: Factory TradeStar: Mass production factory. WhiteBots: Factory Ronin: Outcasts that are trained Undead: Broken Cloning Tube

Re: Gentlemen, The Dummy Factory.
I'll probably not waste time re-smoothing it and just slowly chip away at working to combine all the animated parts into one large smooth animation. It's a -lot- of work, but the pay off is a completely smooth animation.

Re: Gentlemen, The Dummy Factory.
Maybe instead of having tons of animation sprites, you could have the individual pieces positioned according to the production phase with Lua? It would cut down on the amount of sprites, but there would be much more Lua.

Re: Gentlemen, The Dummy Factory.
I don't mind there being this many sprites. Honestly Kyred did quite enough Lua work here.
