Hi
I tried to change the crate actions in misc.yaml
GiveUnitCrateAction:
Units: harv
SelectionShares: 8
Whatever unit I choose, it is not given to the player who found the crate, it is just a white unit that does not belong to anyone.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure but maybe you need to add:
ValidFactions: allies, england, france, germany, soviet, russia, ukraine

Hm, really weird. I just added
Code: Select all
GiveUnitCrateAction@harv:
SelectionShares: 699
Units: harv
and it worked on my end.

:-(
Whenever I did it all the units I find are "white" and are enemies.
Do I have to add the @harv ?
ValidFractions did not help or change anything (I tried GDI,NOD as it is cnc)
I tested it in "skirmish" mode on my local PC (not online)
Did anyone try that in Tiberian Dawn, or only Red Alert? (I play Tiberian Dawn)

More confusion
This WORKS
GiveMcvCrateAction:
SelectionShares: 100
Units: stnk
(gives me a stealth tank)
This does NOT work:
GiveUnitCrateAction:
Units: stnk
SelectionShares: 80
(stealth tank appears, belongs to nobody)
mod is cnc

There is a Visceroid crate in TD mod, which has `Owner: Creeps`. `@Harv` should indeed solve your issue, as it would make it create a new instance of trait, rather than overriding Visceroid crate.

Now I understood what to do...
