Re: Faction problem

Hmm,way it looks i belive it has something to do how reinforcement point icon changes while empire is near it,not sure tho.

Re: Faction problem

hmm ok but is anything wrong with my reinforcement point?

and i've seen that every faction has a code for it's own reinforcement point so i made one for my faction too, but it's still not working

Re: Faction problem

i belive code is rigth,dont know why it isnt working.

Re: Faction problem

I also don't know any other possible reason for that:(

Re: Faction problem

I hate to hijack your thread but I wanted to ask a question related to factions... Where do Icons go? Like to the art folder or do i have to edit the MTD and what size should they be?

This tutorial explains most of the faction code and an example icon is included
Empire at War Zone | Tutorial » Adding a New Faction

I think you have to put the icon in the textures folder

Re: Faction problem

If I remember correctly (my faction has had this stuff working for quite a while now, so it's been a while since I've worked on factions), there are 2 or 3 different reinforcement points that need to be edited, but I was able to attack planets before I had them working, I just couldn't land additional units.

I don't think there's a problem with your reinforcement points, all the coding for them is so you can capture them and land more units. The unit that you actually drag and drop onto the planet should spawn regardless of reinforcement points, which leads me to believe there's a problem with your unit coding.

you're right. I copied the stormtrooper code and it works. I'll see what's wrong with my other unit
