adding landing pad lights on a skirmish map

[NoQ]

In the last file uploaded, the PIE still has test.png in it, instead of the texture name.

ive fixed that now but it is still crashing the game :/

[NoQ]

structure.cpp:2047 mentioned in the dump refers to the rearm pad's rearm function that should mentioned structurefunctions.txt and is controlling rearm speed. Try adding the function reference there or using another structure type.

i tried another structure type and it works i know have two questions 1. ho can i animate a texture on it and 2, is there a way of having a script for the structure

[NoQ]

2. what sort of script are you looking for? if you want to put just it on a map, then just merge your mod into FlaME objectdata and compile the map (you'd still need to merge the mod into the map manually as well). If you want it to appear and disappear during the game, adjust rules.js with addStructure/removeStructure calls.

well i have a couple of ideas just for me to mess around with is there a way of using a script to call a function when a unit touches a specific structure (i.e when it touches my new structure)?

[NoQ]

when a unit touches a specific structure

There's no such event (and i'm not sure the very notion of touching is well-defined in the code), so probably you just need to repeatedly check whether a unit is around

i see thanks alt i shall riffle threw the API to see what i can do im guessing anything i want to add to the game that needs scripting i ill have to add it to rules.js?

In fact, if you want to make a single-player challenge map, you can also add things to a script with arbitrary name and mention it in the challenge .ini file. Unless you actually want to change game rules.

[carbon dude oxide]

is there a way of making a new structure type with its own functions?

[NoQ]

Not with scripts, only as mentioned above.
Check out these links, they are a 100% complete description of the whole js engine we have (also this one, for sure).

P.S. i was seriously surprised to find out that putting model textures into vidmem*.wrf is actually unnecessary nice, this means i can increase compatibility of some of my mods by removing these files.

[carbon dude oxide]

following up on all of this is there a way of moving a unit from x,y to another x,y coordanate?

Very Interesting can have feed back if it works please?
