Is it possible to make a Teleport, or something like that, in TS?
I had an idea like this:

You make a teleport structure, load an unit in it, and it appears in the 2nd teleport structure.
You're limited to 2 teleport structures.

Like the gla tunnel network.
I think it isn't possible.
You could try chrono tech.
But i dont no how to do it.

Nope, that isn't possible. The only possible way of teleporting in TS is by giving a unit a invalid locomotor, which'll make the unit appear instantly wherever you tell it to go.

No, I mean: WHAT DOES IT DO?
I see it much in rules.ini, but there are always much numbers.
Locomotor = CLSID of the object handling movement for this object (def=statue)
Locomotor={4A582742-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}

Oh, y.. ye... yea..... riiighhht. SO?

Just use the locomotor of another unit that moves the way you want your unit to move wink.gif

Are there also unused locomotors, or can you create one?
(WITHOUT HEX EDITOR PLZ)

Aside from the invalid ones (which 'll cause the unit to teleport), no.
Oddly you can't even find any locomotors in the game.exe file with a hex editor.

Well, the locomotor code actually looks like a HEX code, so maybe the game reads it directly from the rules.ini file and not via the game.exe file (like it does with most other codes).
This could mean you might be able to create your own, but none has ever done (or probably even tried) it and you also don't know enough to be able to.

You do...
But HEX code is in groups of 2, this is... in more then 2

EDIT
I translated 4A582742-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1 : JX'˜9Ñ·
Ok, if you understand this....

The hex code is only written like that in the hex editor because that "group" of to numbers represents 1 byte and can be transferred to one ASCII character.

I was wrong anyway; the game doesn't read the locomotor directly from the rules.ini file. If it did, Locomotor=statue either shouldn't exist in RA2 (which it does) or it should also work also work in TS (which it doesn't).

It's of course also possible that Locomotor=statue is an exception roll.gif

hmm...you do learn something new every day, I didn't know the actual purpose the locomotor serves, I thought it was somekind of parameter of the unit :confused:

Quoted from Command and Conquer Afterglow. That site has a lot of handy things there. The bit you are interested in to make things teleport is "the K trick". I think just any screwed up locomotor will work though.

QUOTE
Locomotor is the CLSID (whatever the heck that is) of the object handling movement for this object. The default is "statue". This appears to control specific movement deatails. Just copy, don't mess with this! The following table was compiled by Alkaline (alkaline@cnc2.com). (New For FireStorm!) We've added all of the new locomotor codes from that expansion pack.

The "K" Trick: It has been discovered that by adding "K" to the end if nearly any locomotor you will create a Chrono Tank like effect. We have yet to discover a way to make the unit charge up like Red Alert's Chrono Tank did, but this could be fun to play with. Odds are that this simply corrupts the locomotor and bypasses the normal operation.

"You could try chrono tech. But i dont no how to do it." Isn't exactly helping anyone, is it? There's no such thing as chrono tech in TS and a unit with a invalid locomotor isn't chrono tech either.

And Creagor, that's what I said; give the unit a invalid locomotor and it'll teleport. Adding a K to the end of the locomotor makes the locomotor invalid, so it's exactly the same wink1.gif
I wonder how the drop pod locomotor works actually, seeming it isn't actually used (well, the drop pod unit hasn't, but for as far as I know it's code isn't used and neither is the unit istself; the drop pod we're most familiar with is just an animation and not the actual unit). I tried giving it to the Orca, but that just crashes the game as soon as I build it.

Edit: I just tried building a orca bomber first so the helipad was occupied and then built an orca fighter (which with the drop pod locomotor), knowing it'd have to come flying in now and 'd possibly not crash the game now.
When I build the Orca Fight, the Orca Fighter came down next to my helipad just like a drop pod does and crashed the game the instance it landed.

If you don't have a TLB editor, ModEnc lists all the Locomotors on the Locomotor page:
Link

Edit: It doesn't mention the Drop Pod loco, but it does give the rest of TS and RA2's. The Hover vehicles one is the same as the MLRSs. The Jumpjet loco won't work on VehicleTypes in TS, and of course the Ships and Spawned Missiles locos aren't in TS. I'm just wondering if RA2 has a similar file to LOCOS.TLB and what would happen if you stuck it in TS.

TLB files only tell the game how to find something or how something works, the dont use them since the first ever patch. i think PD told me that the loco's are in the exe, but each letter / set (before the "-") does something to a code... so a certain combinations activate the movment control. so i dont think new ones can be added without hacking...

Well then I wonder what would happen if TS's LOCOS.TLB were to be put in place of the RA2 equivalent, would it reference any old locomotors still stored in the EXE? Like the Drop Pod loco? Then again, I'm now thinking to my self, if it could have been done, it would have been done by now.

Edit: Though if it could be done it would mess up all of the new RA2 locos (altered jumpjet, ships, chrono etc.)

actually hyper is one tlb that is definetly used used if 5 lines of code are commented back in. AI.tlb . All the infoirmation about and the charecteristics of the AI generals is contained in that file.
