it is posiible to make one ore more units dock at the same building, this means you can have two harvesters docking at the same time (as well as weeders) and have more units repiar at the same time at the service depot, and more aircraft docking at the same helipad. IT IS POSSIBLE!
It all involves upgrades, you make a buidling (eg, helipad) and make it an upgrade, where units can dock at it. upgrade the helipad 4 times, and you can have 4 docking pads! Instead of having to by those upgrades, make them automaitically build on deploying the building. You can do the same with refineries (dont know how you would make the SHP).
Good luck, and i hope this aids you in your modding!

hmmm this would only seem useful IMO if say the aircraft could dock at different spots on the building and you use the power plant idea for a helipad/aircraft center like RA2 has. However, i dont think TS supports that logic of different docking spots. Though iv never tried so im not really sure. But if TS did support that then you would think that you could just make a building that had say 4 dock spots on it so you wouldnt have to upgrade it anyways tongue.gif

SFIFF made a list of all the upgrade tags you can use... but this list doesn't exactly include tags from other units (like dock= tag)

I'll have to look into this later - if it works, we might be able to do some interesting things

I'm wondering, for something such as the repair depot, can you get more animations to play as more units dock with it?

And this is pretty cool, I like the helipad thing. If make the helipad a whole structure without the bib it could be that the aircraft are going underground to dock.

hmm... i cant really understand your post but... Upgrades become animations on placement, and making different units dock the same building is possible, just not at the same time.

Okay, to clear Tartan Bunny, up, I think he means you can use the same type of unit to dock at the same time. as in both or more of them at the same time...

Anyway, have you actually proven it? I'll try anyway on the weekend.

Really, Tartan? Because I tried giving an upgrade to the GDI Helipad and only one aircraft ever landed there after I upgraded it.

I t doesn't suprise me realy, TS & RA2 run off of the same game engine so all it is realy is just scripting.

But RA2 came after TS. It would've gotten changed a bit. And previous TS they did not have buildings with multiple docks.

how many upgrades did you give it?
i tried it with the power plant, and the unit docked at the turbine, just as i set it to do, and i managed to get two docked, one at each upgraded turbine...
confused.gif this is strange...
how did you make it dock?

Copy the exact same properties from the Turbine upgrade and made them go into the Helipad without the graphics.
Gave the Turbine upgrades properties that allow aircraft to dock and reload with it too.

Post up your code, I'll merge it into mine. see if that fixes my problem.
