Tiberium Dawn Mod Options

[Gothic Gregg]

Mod.
OLD mod.
I had these ideas since about 2004.
So Im gunna start modding TD then move up thru all CnC games to TW.
So anyway, I havnt got a mod name, but It will be ready by 2007 Summer.

A few untis......

Humvee Avenger --- A humvee with rockets, every mod needs one

Hover Train --- It might be impossible, its been a while. It carrys several passengers and has 2 miniguns for Anti-Air and Anti-Infantry defence.

Black Hand --- Nod stealth infantry, armed with silenced sniper rifle.

It's impossible to make a unit actually hover in TD. You could of course make the SHP look like it hovers, but it'd still look odd, seeming it doesn't bob; it'd just hang still in the air, making it look very odd...
Another way would be by making it an infantry, but even though it should be able to have an animation which makes it look like it actually hovers, it'd still look odd because for one it'd have a very small selection box and 3 of these units 'd also be able to stand on 1 cell...

So my advice is (if you ever get to modding TD that is) to just put this unit out of your mind...

Is there no idle frames? Possibly just make it bob up and down in the idle frames because its not really noticeable that it bobs while it flies from place to place... of course, I have never edited the game before...

Vehicles don't have sequences like infantry have and I don't think units can be animated by other means than sequences in TD... Which is why I suggested making it an infantry, seeming it's the only possible way to get the animation right... However, when this is done it'll be like an infantry, meaning that 3 of these can stand on a single cell (which 'd look very odd) and also certain values aren't the same for vehicles and infantry; an infantry with Speed=8 is faster than a vehicle with Speed=8 for instance.

The fact that 3 of these units would be able to stand on a single cell 'd be enough reason for me to just put it out of my head however...

In Dawn though isn't it 5 infantry on one cell?
