How to Add More than 6 selectable Units to a Map (FAQ)

[phazon_elite]

It's actually easier than you might think:

In the SetupTeams, you'll want to add this under the SetHeroClass:

Example:

Code: Select all

    AddUnitClass(REP, "roc_inf_arnhem_rifleman",1, 4)

That's from my Mount Corona LUA.

So just replace that REP with your side name; and replace the roc_inf_arnhem_rifleman with your unit's name.

Hope that helped, although I wrote it in an odd way that confuses me slightly...

yea this is what my odf looks like for my rep side for my upcoming kashyyyk :

The green bold text is what you need to add with your approiate side and appropiate name but you can only have 7 different types of troops per team

[phazon_elite]

Actually, the text can be placed here:

SetupTeams{
rep = {
team = REP,
units = 128,
reinforcements = 680,
soldier = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",10, 10},
assault = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",25, 25},
engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper_felucia",10, 10},
sniper = { "rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 1},
officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_marine",25, 25},
special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",10, 10},

},
cis = {
team = CIS,
units = 128,
reinforcements = 650,
soldier = { "cis_inf_rifleman",10,10 },
assault = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",15, 15},
engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",15, 15},
sniper = { "cis_inf_sniper",15, 15},
officer = {"cis_inf_officer",9, 9},
special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},
}
}

SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_grievous")
SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_yoda")

AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_marine",60,60)
AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",48,48)

I think it's easier to do that, but that's my opinion.

[samoosh1]

Thanks! :!: :!:

[MandeRek]

Please don´t kill me for bumping this, but i want to add a note. I´ve got an addunit class, which was an hero, and the normal sethero class. I munged it being it like phazon_elite wrote, but the added class had hero properties, while the hero had unit properties but a hero bar, which wasn't working. To get this fixed, put the add unit lines BEFORE the sethero lines, like this:

Code: Select all

special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},
}
}

AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_marine",60,60)
AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",48,48)

SetHeroClass(CIS, "cis_hero_grievous")
SetHeroClass(REP, "rep_hero_yoda")

Again sorry for the bump, but i thought this would come handy

[Teancum]

Huh. Nice find. - sometimes programs are picky like that I guess.

[[RDH]Zerted]

You can also change the table in setup_teams.lua to add more units the normal way:

-- list of types
local typeList = { "soldier", "pilot", "assault", "sniper", "marine", "engineer", "officer", "special", "extra1", "extra2", "extra3" }

SetupTeams{
rep = {
team = REP,
units = 128,
reinforcements = 680,
soldier = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",10, 10},
assault = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",25, 25},
engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper_felucia",10, 10},
sniper = { "rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 1},
officer = { "rep_inf_ep3_marine",25, 25},
special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",10, 10},
extra1 = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",48,48},
},

Edit: oops, didn't notice this was a year old
Edit 2: I've added everything in red. They don't have to be named extra1, extra2, etc.... Name them whatever you want. There is a max limit. I don't remember what it is, but the game crashes when you go over it.

[The_Emperor]

How many different units can you get in one team by doing that?

[MandeRek]

The first quote.. I dunno if HE added that or if it's the max, but with that in (welk geval dan ook) 3, and with AddUnitClass i think as much as you want... Nobody tried 20 you know We don't know the exact number i guess...

[NullCommando]

You MUST have a limit of units on the spawn screen or the other units may go off screen. I believe max is 10 or 9 if you have a hero.

[woner11]

I Usually max out the number and that number is 9 not including a hero. If you do any more, for me at least the game crashes.

[commanderalan]

i have 10 units and 1 hero

Li

[Tourny]

The max number of units you can have on a team is 10, because any more don't fit on the screen. But in Mos Eisly assault, they somehow fit 12 units on the heroes team.

[SkinnyODST]

NONE of what you guys are saying works for me. I`ve tried all the different methods of adding a unit and none of them do anything

[AQT]

You most likely made a mistake somewhere. In order to help you find the mistake, for each of the different methods you used, please separately post the contents of your Lua file to demonstrate how you implemented the method.

[SkinnyODST]

ALRIGHT. Heres what I did:

All I`m trying to do now is add the rep marine and pilot into the map...for now.

Everything for the rep marine and pilot is already in the side folder so I don`t need to copy and paste anything do I?

So, I`m doing the first and most "easy" method - Adding the code under "SetHeroClass"

I then munge common and have even tried munging EVERYTHING after deleting the world from my addon folder. Nothing works, the units still just don`t show up.

[thelegend]

I think the reason why none of your added units are in-game is because the game doesn't even know how to load them.

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dC:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep3_engineer",
"rep_inf_ep3_sniper",
"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",
"rep_hover_fightertank",
"rep_hero_anakin",
"rep_hover_barcspeeder")

Where is the pilot and the marine? You need to add them manually inside ReadDataFile. Then it should work unless you didn't include them inside your own side...what you probably already did.

That actually worked! The pilot was there and...Anakin Skywalker for some reason instead of the marine. But now, how would I add a unit from this - viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24475
Into the game? They only come with msh and tga files. I replaced the pilot`s msh with one of them but it didn`t have all the pieces. I put ".msh" after it and the game crashes.

This is the code:
