This is something a bit beyond my scope of understanding but I'm looking to see if there's a way to add this on to the map.yaml, or if it's too complex a hack:

I'd love to test this feature after the next release to see if there's any balance implications with it. If not it could serve as a nice polish for the paratroopers.

Inherit a clone of E1, set RenderSprites to E1, override ProducibleWithLevel->Prerequsites to 0 on it and set paradrop to send the clone in, should do.

Works, thanks. I still need to define the rank number for the cloned unit but can't find the trait.

Code: Select all

Rules&#58;

	E1R1
		Inherits&#58; E1
		RenderSprites&#58;
			Image&#58; E1
		ProducibleWithLevel&#58;
			Prerequisites&#58; 0
	
	E3R1
		Inherits&#58; E3
		RenderSprites&#58;
			Image&#58; E3
		ProducibleWithLevel&#58;
			Prerequisites&#58; 0
		
	AFLD&#58;
		ParatroopersPower@paratroopers&#58;
			DropItems&#58; E1R1,E1R1,E1R1,E3R1,E3R1

Was tired, dammit, when I wrote that. 0 should have been null aka empty. >_> but it needs to be defined since the fallback would've been inherited and thereby would be barracks.infiltrated IIRC (Maybe it'd be more proper if it would require the appropriate techlevel prereq).

It also have an InitialLevels property where you can specify the basic ranks.

Code: Select all

		ProducibleWithLevel&#58; 
			Prerequisites&#58; techlevel.infonly

would work fine yeah (although it's a bit hacky).

Anyway, you probably also want to make those extra actors unbuildable:

Code: Select all

		Buildable&#58;
			Prerequisites&#58; ~disabled

InitialLevels defaults to "1". So we shouldn't need to explicitly define it.
