Troop Crawler
 

For Vanilla Generals (not Zero Hour), I'm attempting to get the Troop Crawler to work in a similar fashion to the Humvee, i.e. passengers will open fire on targets who come close, or, on targets you tell them to target. I want to avoid those assholes jumping out the machine where they get gunned down.

I've added the PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes tag to the relevant place in the code and they do fire, just not at what I tell them to fire at.

I'm sure I'm missing something, so any help would be appreciated.

bah, the fuckers are getting out the Crawler when i click attack. this is what i DON'T want them to do!!

Re: Troop Crawler
 

KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_ATTACK CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS TRANSPORT VEHICLE SCORE


, try to remove the CAN_ATTACK so the troop crawler itself does not attack...:)

Re: Troop Crawler
 

i'll try that, however i'm sure the Humvee has a similar entry, no?

Re: Troop Crawler
 

yes but the humvee attack weapon is different, cause it can shoot, and the troop crawler only let the units exit, and if that not work ( removing CAN_ATTACK ) try to delete his weapon ;) should work too
