updated silo "unit" <-- the idea was from hunter

[papajohns]

i saw hunter's silo unit idea and i just loved it..so i managed to whip out a simple and quick silo "unit" of my own...its based on those bunker silos you see in the movies... i didnt bother to do sound again....

files are here...

preview of the fidget animation

 

[papajohns]

oh..bear in mind...i did this so quickly and with no in game testing..so i have no clue as of how this will look in the game..

 

[unscratchedfoot]

How do we use it? As a trap hidden under grass? I'd like to have this during diplomacy for when the other leaders muel about my troops in their territory while parading their trash through mine.

this is the thread that i "borrowed" the idea

Could you make the default with the top open instead of closed since the fortify is of it closing.

 

[papajohns]

mm... i could..but i think default should be closed....i mean..who keeps a silo open all day anyways

you can always just use the fidget.flc for fortify as well.....that way itll go from closed to open and then close again..

thats what i get for not thinking through the animation sequences.......

 

[Hunter]

Well for anyone like myself who would like the default open here ya go.

i tested it in game and it says its missing a run.flc. im assuming we dont need a run for this unit. Or will we need one?

 

[papajohns]

wel...of course its missing run.flc..a silo can't run..

read the other silo thread..the idea was to paradrop it into place..and having movement of 0...thats it...it stays there...u simply load missiles into em..

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

ok then the ini needs to be edited so run isnt there, it caused my game to shut down when i tested it in debug mode

 

[papajohns]

mm...oh..run.flc was there? i thought i removed it...my bad then...

 

[Cspiffy148]

WAHAHAHA. Now I can have my Nuclear Arsenal poised on my enemies borders

What is the stats for this unit and how do u place ICBM's in to it or build them in to it......?
