transport ally units

Postby monty » 20 Nov 2011, 23:35

i want the ability to transport an ally units to be implemented in this game. just imagine this scenario: what if one of your transport unit happens to be near an allied's ACU, and his ACU is in danger of assasination attempt, you can then evacuate his ACU to safety. sounds nice right? so, is there any kind of mod or scripts out there that will allow me to transport one of my allied units?

Two points: First, if you are in that scenario,you can give you ally a transport. Second, transport stuff is handled in the engine and cannot be modded.

In this circumstance, play with cheats enabled. Press Alt + F2 and double-click your ally to gain control of his base and units. You can manually order him into a transport and fly to safety this way :P

from what i see, alt+ F2 dont seems to do that. instead, it opens up a 'window' that lets you choose which unit to create

there seems to be problem. i cannot take control of allied units from saved games. neither does the command 'setArmyFocus' works. could be a bug?

Cheating must be enabled, so if it wasn't the case when you have saved the game, it's normal.
