I really didn't want to let out any of our secret plans for the mod 'Modern warfare" but because i can't figure out this problem, il have to release details, so it can be fixed. So anyway heres the plan... We were gonna have items like hellfire missiles and tow missiles as items in our game that units can pick up, and use, a bit like a third attack. Anyway, for this to work right we needed to make it so that only certain units can pick up certain items. Like a normal soldier couldn't walk around with a hellfire, and somehow launch it at someone now could he? We also want to make the melee maps without triggers, like how melee maps should be. So anyway, i used my amazing slk editing skills, and stuffed around for ages, and figured out that if i change the field for Inventory hero....can pickup items...to itemlist instead of boolean, then instead of only saying yes or no to which items can be picked up, i will provide a list of items it can pickup. Anyway, i tried the new stuff, and when i was using it...it wouldn't let me pick up any items..even the ones listed in the itemlist field. So anyway i pondered about it for a while, and then thought..maybe it has something to do with either blizzard.j or common.j, so i looked thru them, and changed some stuff, but realised it wasn't what i wanted. So what i want is for items to be only able to be picked up/used by certain units. So ......does anyone know how i can fix this, because this will add another great element to Modern Warfare. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Even if i have to do something completely different, i will do it. But plz do not say...oh just use triggers, because that is not an option. Thnx a lot for reading. |
