producable resources and more ...

[titi]

Hi, I added 3 new optional switches to unit.xml ( its in svn now ):

"count-unit-death-in-stats"
"count-unit-production-in-stats"
"count-unit-kill-in-stats"
update:
"count-kill-for-unit-upgrade"

This is meant for units which are for example just projectiles ( fo attack spawned units ) or to finally make resource production work.

How to do resource production now:
In general its done with an unvisibal unit, but this units is instantly killed after it is born ...

1. define a resource like this:

Code: [Select]

<resource>
<image path="images/housing.bmp"/>
<type value="static">
<recoup_cost value="false"/>
</type>
</resource>
( "recoup_cost value="false"" will keep the resource if the unit dies. )

2. build an "unvisible" unit with an empty model.
In this unit set:
- set a cellmap "0"
- set <max-hp value="10" regeneration="-10"/>  ( by this the unit instantly dies after its produced, and you hear its death sound ... )
- set <count-unit-death-in-stats value="false"/>
- set <count-unit-production-in-stats value="false"/>

What is their parent tag in the unit XML? <parameters>?

I added a new switch "count-kill-for-unit-upgrade"
If a unit has set this switch to false , killing it does not count up the number of kills of the attacking unit.

@Omega: yes its in Parameters
