Alright figured out the weapons issue, happened from me changing "Air" to required which I thought would make the weapon capable of firing on air units....if anyone can chime in on how to make the weapon fire while moving and on air targets that would be great, did realize it might not be firing while moving because of the turret settings, going to check that and try again...
Alright, So I redid it, based the unit on command center, then duplicated the actors for PF, and set the models to CC, everything worked great, I have a flying PF now, even have the rockets, but the weapon isn't working and I can't figure out why, its not firing, or showing up:
on a side note I just realized I probably have to give it the attack ability, will try that.
Added attack ability and changed the AI to PF, still can't seem to attack, even though the weapon shows up now....
SWEET, its working, have it flying around, and it can still attack after its moved, was also able to use the acceleration I wanted, just need to sort out the actors then I'll have the first step done, going to have to figure out how to attach the battcruisers to it next.
Really not sure what the deal is with not being able to set PF actor models to PF, but if I use a CC as the basis everything should still work out, more in a minute.
Why not try just taking the normal PF, removing the footprints if necessary, setting it's height, and then change it's plane to Air or whatever it's called. It won't have the flames, but you can justify that the BC's are carrying it. You would also need to change the collision and maybe a couple other things.
Build times are in the Train ability's info+ field.
Cargo is in the unit itself. Would be a field called cargo size iirc.
Building more than one is done in a field called Queue Count in the Queue ability.
Not sure about drop pods, should be a tut about it on the site somewhere.
I did more or less try that, I set it at a height and gave it move speed, but I think I need to change more than just that, and am not sure what else would have to be changed, I'll try removing the footprint and changing plane and collision to air, though I don't think the last two are needed for flight from their description...
Also forgot to mention that when I try to dupe the PF actors, and then go to change the 4 models to PF there is no PF in the list, just PF death, attack and crap like that...
I would also like to know if there is a way to increase load capacity past 8......and I want it to build marines which I have figured out, but I would like to speed up the build time, and build more than 1 at once, as well as have them arrive by drop pod if possible....
I have been trying for a couple of hours now to make a flying planetary fotress, that can still lift off, and fly around like a normal CC, I have even tried making a CC and putting an ibiks cannon on it, and I am at wits end.....and while I would prefer it be able to land, I would be content with just a fraking cc that flies around and blows stuff up with its ibiks cannon, and I am actually planning to turn it into a terran mothership of sorts by attaching four battcruisers, one at each leg....but atm I can't even get it to fly.....
No matter what I did, it never worked right, I managed to get the PF to lift off, but when it did, it changed into a normal cc and lost its weapon, and when i made a cc with an ibiks cannon, even when i based it on a flying cc(ie. default state is flying) it had the graphic for the pf turret, but no actual weapon or attack...Need some help here.....
