What the heck does a Technology Center do?
Alright, so i get the just behind neutral buildings, like the bio lab, which lets you produce zombies and ants, as well as being capturable. But, I have no idea what a technology center does, and I cannot capture it. From what I understand, you can also get a hospital and a forward command center, what do those do? Sorry, I'm a noob. Thanks.
Which is a shame because the art for the buildings is quite nice in my opinion, and the Technology Center did have its own cameo if I remember correctly.-Jes- wrote: ↑It didn't exactly do much beyond that in the original games either.

Do you (or anyone else) have 'easy to copy' code for this?squirrel wrote: ↑Using notepad++ and modifying the yaml. file of your map (save as unpacked) you can set the Technology Center and the Forward Command to make it capturable with engineers or by only pushing your units nearby (King of the Hill maps), it´s used for modmaps or nice powerups for some maps.

You can make it capturable by adding:
The first is to make it capturable by engineers. The second one renders a bar when capturing is in proccess. See https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/T ... capturable .
(For TD you want just "Capturable:" without the "External" prefix and no "ExternalCapturableBar:" at all.)
If you want to make "power-ups" available to player who captured the building, just add a support power trait to MISS. For this you can just look at how the Airfield, Chronosphere, Iron Curtain and nuke silo do it.
Code: Select all
MISS:
ExternalCapturable:
ExternalCapturableBar:

Here's an example of the tech center use:
I used Tesla and nuke power as well as making it engi capturable
