engineer repairs vehicles - is it possible?

Eqx · Soldier **Joined**: 04 Jul 2003 **Location**: Hyperspace

Is it possible to make an infantry that can repair vehicles? I tried to add the repairbolt as a primary weapon, and I got an engineer that heals infantry with the mobil repair vehicle effect. It would look nice if we had Terminators and not infantry. Is it possible to make it repair vehicles?

Call me idiot if you want, but I don't know what you mean. You say I should change these values in the repairbolt weapon or what?

Look at the weapon you use to Engineer repair vehicles. In this weapon, you change the Damage= to 50. Then, in this weapon, look at the Warhead used by it. Now, find the code of it in your rules.ini. One of the lines is Verses= with five values separated by commas. Change the third one and the fourth one to -50%. Now it will repair your vehicles Wink

The NOD Mobil Repair Vehicle CAN repair any vehicle. I gave the MRV's weapon to the engineer and it only healed infantry. Should I make a new weapon with these parameters?

Sorry to burst your buble but infantry can only heal infantry and vehicles can only heal vehicles unless you use a work around to make the game think that your unit is a vehicle buy setting the infantry as a FreeUnit= for something. That I have seen.

yes, the MRV's weapon has a negative damage value and a positive verses value, the workaround is to swap it around so as Banshee says you put the line

Damage=50

into the weapon's section and a line like

Verses=0%,0%,-100%,-100%,0%

into the warhead section and the Engineer's weapon should now work correctly

You can also do this to get vehicles to heal infantry (I had to figure this out recently)

Cool, i didn't know this.. now i can give a repair weapon to the CTECH unit orso..

yeah, I had to use this workaround to get the RedGen Ambulance to work, makes you wonder why negative verses values will work when negative damage values won't..

I'm sure its possible!

Look at Red Alert: Aftermath it has a mechanic and well Ts still has many RA codes in it. Now that I know about this, this will most likely become my next project. This will be interesting, I just hope you guys don't finish it before I finish my voxel, or Map, or SHP.

so, Good Luck and Have a good day

PEACE

hmm... That would take a great deal of work to do for it to work.

Good luck
