[Lmagus]

Well... I tried searching how to add units to a building, I found something, but I don't know how to use the program very well...
So can you please tell me how to do it?

[Mogolov]

All your answers are already on this forum mate, i would point you in the direction but i feel that people lack any sense of methodical research these days.

[Lmagus]

Can't you show me the topic where it says how to do it?
I tried adding comman_unit_sp_mckay.rgd(or something like that) to the Spawn "folder" in the Barracks, didn't work...

[Josh_HLB]

Search the forum and experiment. Dont expect to get all the answers handed to you in simple steps....


I did not, (along with others) ask one question about modding. And yet i can do alot.

Since two of the top buttoms in the barracks inventory are already taken by Riflemen and Jeep, you have to alter the units ui_position. Open the comman_unit_sp_mckay.rgd and look at the ui_info, open it and go to ui_position and change it to 3 (now mckay will be next to the jeep).

Josh... I tried to do something and it didn't work, can't I ask for help?

ozka, thank you very much, it worked!

To add abilities to him I need to edit squad_ability_ext?

edit:
How can I copy stuff in the editor? I want to copy the ally_off_map_howitzer_shoot.rgd so I can delete the requirements...

[ozka]

Go to the folder of the .rgd and copy it, reload CoHModStudio so it will detect the new file. Easiest way, since you cant copy files inside the program.

For abilities, search the forum.
