Different Init Vecs?

[Sirbomber]

Did I ask this already? Well, if I did, sorry. Anyways...
How would I make OP2 give people different vecs/etc based on whether they're Eden/Plym? I've tried, but met with... non-exceptional results...



As you can see, everyone gets Laser Lynx. Except for that one time that it was half Microwave half laser.

Any suggestions on how I could make this more functional?

I have to work at this every time I try, but I do have some code with a correct setup you can look at if you want?

When creating the units, you have to select the weapon type based on their colony type. You need to check Player.IsEden(), then when units are being created make sure it can change the weapon type based on this.

How exactly are you creating the units? It might seem a little clunky to do this.

The units are in basedata and set to have microwaves. I tell it to create the units and change the mics to lasers if they're eden.

Code: [Select]

	for (i = 0; i < baseInfo.numVehicle; i++)
	{
  VehicleInfoE &curItem = baseInfo.vehicleInfo[i];
  curX = x + curItem.x;
  curY = y + curItem.y;
  TethysGame::CreateUnit(unit, curItem.type, LOCATION(curX, curY), 
      player, curItem.weaponCargo, curItem.dir);
  unit.DoSetLights(1);
  if (unit.GetType() == mapCargoTruck)
  	unit.SetTruckCargo( curItem.ctcargo, curItem.cnum);

for (int i = 0; i < TethysGame::NoPlayers(); i++)
{
        if (Player[i].IsEden() && unit.GetType() == mapLynx)
        unit.SetWeapon( mapLaser);
}

	}

Hmm, well what would happen here is the unit would always be a laser (if ANY of the players were Eden), because it loops thru all players.

A better way of doing it might be like this:

Code: [Select]

for (i = 0; i < baseInfo.numVehicle; i++)
{
 VehicleInfoE &curItem = baseInfo.vehicleInfo[i];
 curX = x + curItem.x;
 curY = y + curItem.y;
 if (Player[player].IsEden() && curItem.type == mapLynx)
    curItem.weaponCargo = mapLaser;
 TethysGame::CreateUnit(unit, curItem.type, LOCATION(curX, curY),
     player, curItem.weaponCargo, curItem.dir);
// ... and so on ...
}

Ohhh, I see. Thanks hacker, it's working fine now.
