Assigning icons to a family research item

[Homer Jr.]

How do you assign an icon to a research item that affects an entire class? Take the vaygr armor/speed upgrades, for example. I can't find how to assign these icons anywhere.

I know this has been asked before, but I didn't ever see the solution presented. If I'm wrong, forgive my ignorance and show me the light!

It is the target line of the research that defines the icon displayed.

Vagyr armour/propulsive research is aimed at the shipyard, etc.

Ignorance, is, I assure you, not considered within the realms of asking for help, for knowledge after should not be withheld from those who know not of yet our talents...

Yes I can speak like that. LOL.

I think you should become a poet with such elegent words, Tel. Or at least a politician. :D

Here is one of my research items that doesn't have an icon:

{
Name = "CorvetteTech",
RequiredResearch = "",
RequiredSubSystems = "Research",
Cost = 500,
Time = 40,
DisplayedName = "$7176",
DisplayPriority = 20,
Description = "$7177",
TargetType = Family,
TargetName = "Corvette",
Icon = Icon_Tech,
ShortDisplayedName = "$7180",
},

None of my research items that affect families have icons, and I still can't figure out how it works when the target is a family.

You should copy/paste a working Relic file - I am sure there is somewhere to specify what icon is used for the "corvette family".

Right now you can try using ship as a target, say, hgn_assaultcorvette. It should work.

Flattery... already am those, although in self-appointed versions of those postings :)
