I have almost made a map, but the triggers i use for the helis to come in dont work.
What do i do?

Posted by: jadems Sep 10 2008, 09:38 PM

You're joking right. It doesn't even contain locations. Take a screenshot of the page and MS paint the minimap, at least.

Posted by: deadthank Sep 11 2008, 08:27 PM

sorry, but i am new to this site and i used the xcc editor so there is no minimap, and i appriciate the help blushing.gif . how do you ms paint the thing anyways?  oilfeilds.zip ( 5.27K ) : 277

You forgott the .bin file.. roll.gif

and I think jadems meant that you should take a screenshot of the minimap; go to view then click on overview (in the XCC editor). Then press the Print Screen button on your keyboard go to paint and paste, now you will see that you have taken a screenshot of your entire screen. You will have to cut out the minimap (using one of the tools in Paint) and copy it in to another paint window, now save the image as a png (DO NOT SAVE IT AS A .BMP!) now you are ready to upload your image..

I hope that made sence...

the next time this is all you have to show

CODE
[TEAMTYPES]
ALLIES DEFENSE=MULTI5,1,0,0,1,0,7,20,0,0,2,FTNK:3,LTNK:3,1,DEFEND BASE:20,1,0
HELI=BADGUY,1,0,1,0,0,7,1,0,0,1,TRAN:2,1,MOVE:27,0,1
INFANTRY=BADGUY,0,0,0,0,0,7,20,0,0,3,E5:3,RMBO:1,E1:5,1,ATTACK BASE:20,1,0
MCV=GOODGUY,0,0,0,0,0,7,1,0,0,1,MCV:1,1,MOVE:17,0,0
TANKS=BADGUY,0,0,0,0,0,7,20,0,0,5,APC:1,E6:4,RMBO:1,STNK:2,BIKE:2,1,ATTACK BASE:22,1,0

[TRIGGERS]
COMMANDO DEATH=DESTROYED,LOSE,0,GOODGUY,NONE,1
FLARE LIT=TIME,DZ AT 'Z',1,GOODGUY,NONE,1
INFANTRY STRIKE=TIME,REINFORCE.,20,BADGUY,INFANTRY,2
REINF THE BASE!=TIME,PRODUCTION,5,MULTI5,ALLIES DEFENSE,2
TANK STRIKE=TIME,REINFORCE.,10,BADGUY,TANKS,2
TIME=TIME,REINFORCE.,1,MULTI6,HELI,1
WIN=ALL DESTR.,WIN,0,MULTI6,NONE,1

[WAYPOINTS]
0=3313
1=2307
2=369
17=3630
20=1462
22=1718
25=348
26=3781
27=2307

so please edit your first post and remove the useless long [INFANTRY] [STRUCTURES] [TERRAIN] and [OVERLAY] lists.

to your problem
1. afaik does the game reads only strings which are only 8 characters long and without space (at least i make sure they don't have them, so i can be sure the game really reads them; e.g. "REINF THE BASE!" should be changed to "baserein")
2. your HELI teamtype should look like this
heli=BadGuy,0,0,0,0,0,7,0,0,0,1,TRAN:2,1,MOVE:27,1,1
see scb12ea.ini chn2 that has this too
3. how should a badguy heli come, if you set the timer for Multi6? huh.gif
HELI=BADGUY,1,0,1,0,0,7,1,0,0,1,TRAN:2,1,MOVE:27,0,1
TIME=TIME,REINFORCE.,1,MULTI6,HELI,1
also change the 1 at the end to 0 or you have in 20 seconds the screen full of helis due to the set loop

the fixed entry
time=Time,Reinforce.,1,BadGuy,heli,0

4. unlock your capslock if you write names and use copies from original entries (TD could be case sensitive when reading "Reinforce.", but i'm not sure about this; though i always make sure this can't be a problem)

Umm Lin Kuei, time triggers aren't affected by the side you set. In fact, a trigger owner is the player that ACTIVATES it. It has NOTHING to do with who receives the trigger's effect.

The all caps is a problem in XCC Mixer. I don't have a clue why the heck it does that, but it's horribly irritating. I only use XCC for my map borders, and CCMap for all the rest.

my brother said that they were nukes upgraded with tiberium when i was young, (1998) so i ment this to be before the nod got their nukes. and also, my edited version of the map has an AI with you and nod keep attacking from the side, but read my post before this one and you will know why i have to do it from scratch again.

Yeah, the site went down.

Also, don't double post.
