How do you make a Hijacker? - Guest - 13.07.2006
At first I tried just adding "VehicleThief" to an infantry unit. Then I tried just moving the code for the M. Hijacker from TS, as I did with the jumpjet (and change the image, naturally). The MHijacker still didn't work, so I moved the MHijacker's image over to the conquer.mix within ra2.mix. My hijacker doesn't work.
Is there good code for a hijacker out there?
Also, while I'm here, would it work to combine most, not all, the TS and RA2 files together and essentially have TS/RA2 under one user interface? I know you can't combine some of the code (such as that which controls RA2) but maybe the AI coding, unit coding, and such stuff as that?
RE: How do you make a Hijacker? - Renegade - 14.07.2006
Simply visiting the usual suspects would help
And it really is that simple, I did it before.
And for the second question: You basically have it right there. You can use a lot of stuff from TS, including most units and the AI, but you cannot have a joint TS/RA2 - at least not fully functional.
btw, there are already one or two mods doing that.

Or to put it simply, just add VehicleThief=yes and Thief=yes to any infantry that is not an engineer, spy or uses C4.
RE: How do you make a Hijacker? - Kilkakon - 16.07.2006
Applying C4 to a vehicle thief actually works though.

actually, its better if they are an engineer or spy, because the theif logic tries to enter buildings aswell, but does nothing if you actually enter it. making the hijacker combined with an engineer or spy makes it actually do something when you enter the building. R:ROTC has 2 hijackers, 1 is an engineer, the other is a spy.

Well actually what bobing is talking about relates to thief logic and refineries i.e. do nothing
The is actually a work around for this but not many people know about it seems
Infiltrate=no on the building will stop thief=yes from entering
This tag does not overide c4=yes or agent=yes and u still can spy, c4 refineries basically.
