CnC Generals: How to create a working train on worldbuilder

[LSSTyranus]

theres a world builder? didnt know till now.

[ebboy04]

great tut, but i have a question.... i wanna make a car cross a bridge but when it tries to cross it falls right through it as soon as it get on the bridge, anyway to fix this? thanks

[Stinkie11]

@ebboy04 Well the trainbridge is non-solid, so the only way that you could get a car to cross a bridge is to use roadbridges. I could be wrong though but I don't know how to keep cars at the same height when following a waypointpath.

[ebboy04]

@Stinkie11 i figured it out, u needa name the car something, then put a waypoint at the beginning of bridge and name it ...Tunnel (just becuz Tunnel will make the car stay same height as waypoint) and make another waypoint at the very end of the bridge and name it ....tunnel (the .... means u can name it whatever u want but u gotta put Tunnel after it and not spaced) and then just finish up laying the waypoint and then script it (IF TRUE, UNIT, MOVE, FOLLOW EXACT WAYPOINT) just took train

[ebboy04]

layout and used same concept for car but thanks for responding

[Thesuperhunter99]

don't you have to make a script first?

[Stinkie11]

@Thesuperhunter99 No.

[Stinkie11]

@madmajicmonkey I'm not the troubelshooting guy, but worldbuilder is located in the folder where generals is installed.

[MilenaWinstar]

you now alot of command and qonquer i have made a map but the enemies are not attacking... can you help me??:) (i now i cant speak englisch)

[Stinkie11]

@MilenaWinstar I have another video on that /watch?v=elcWJO66Jm4&feature=r­elated

Good luck :)

[yovillehacker2010]

Thx

[malaysian369]

do u know how to make like 'Missing:asjkgsilgkgak'???

[Stinkie11]

@malaysian369 I have a tutorial about that, just search my channel

[malaysian369]

How u record the video??camtasia recorder?

[Stinkie11]

@malaysian369 The worldbuilder part was recorded with ypercam, it sucks but works. (I also have camtasia now and I edit all of my new videos with vegas pro 9, but this one is relatively old)

[malaysian369]

Hi!i had made it and its work but can we use it for war??? Will Al will follow the railpath too??

[Stinkie11]

@malaysian369 Only trains will follow the path.

[Sirmatt70]

@TheOddbro If it's a Skirmish map you're making, save the map as a user map. Then run the game. go to Skirmish and choose the map for the battlefield. On top should say official maps and unofficial maps. click unofficial maps and your map should be in there. If not, u didn't save it as a user map. I don't know 'bout single play maps though xD

[TheOddbro]

@Sirmatt70 I did a quick test Sirmatt70 and......it worked! Thank you, very big help.

[Sirmatt70]

@TheOddbro your welcome

[leandrowanke1]

trainengine? What is that? the only thing to do is move not a soldier or anything else, so not as I do, I do not understand is the weipons tools and the other is not the name but good, try many things and nothing happens, tell me as well as put music in the world builder, understands nothing

[leandrowanke1]

I do not understand anything, not moving a soldier or anything not understand man I use the tools but nothing happens tell me how do I move a small tank or soldier is the only thing I need to know

[Stinkie11]

@leandrowanke1 Name a unit, go to Scripts/new script/action/unit move unit to location and select your named unit.

[CoDman211]

when i make my maps i play on them and it only shows a small square of the map or the spawns of the teams are off the map PLEASE HELP!!

[GT1amuse22k]

How can you make a train carry a nuclear bomb behind it? Like the first mission in Zero hour. :)

[Stinkie11]

@GT1amuse22k You can't do that with worldbuilder I'm afraid.. You'll have to edit the unit files. (.ini)

I don't know how to do that, you should google it.

[freedom244100]

@Stinkie11 how do you make the train stop at the station

[Stinkie11]

@freedom244100 The waypoint where you want your train to start braking should be called railroad1station (or railroad2station etc.)

[freedom244100]

@GT1amuse22k it is actually the rocket for biakoneer (dunno how to spell it) it should be in civillian then vehicles then around T (for train O.o ) it should say "TrainTransportWithRocket" or something like that

hoped it helped

[Stinkie11]

@freedom244100 Yes, but it won't explode like a nuke.

[Cepaka1]

can you make tutorial for soldiers who follow car or guard?

[Stinkie11]

@Cepaka1 Maybe, but Im not playing generals anymore.

[SnemeisProductions]

@Cepaka1 I can if you want

[MICROKNIGHT3000]

wtF?!worldbuilder in window7?

Didnt work for me :(

[Stinkie11]

@MICROKNIGHT3000 Dunno, I dont use w7 myself so dunno srry.

[Facebook3682]

@MICROKNIGHT3000 It works for me.

[SpeedyAvatar]

how do u put the map as playable in the game?

[Stinkie11]

@SpeedyAvatar Save your map, set up a skirmish and when looking for your map pick unofficial maps, It should be there.

[rustyoneone]

stinkie!!! HELP!

Is there any way to put down a patriot missile that a team can capture at will?

i'd like to build a map that has a base perimeter guarded by patriot missiles that have to be captured, but no matter what i try the soldiers refuse to capture the structure.

[Stinkie11]

@rustyoneone It's impossible to capture defensive buildings; However you can make them unmanned wich means you'll have to order an infantry unit to garrison it and it will be yours.

[rustyoneone]

@Stinkie11

cool, i'll try that, i'm new to this so incase i can't find it, would you mind telling me how to set it as unmanned?

[Stinkie11]

@rustyoneone Ok, spawn the Patriot and name it whatever you like, Go to edit/scripts and create a new script wich has triggervaleu treu and action= Unit/status/make unmanned.

[rustyoneone]

@Stinkie11 thank you very much stinkie

[T51powerarmor]

Nice thanks for the tutorial

[subscriber44]

Question: What is the script for showing the whole map without the fog of war? =)

[LoboalphaMASTER]

@subscriber44 go to ""Map / Shroud or Reveal / Reveal the entire map permanently for a player""

That is the script to reveal the entire map. Now can you help me, do you know how do i program the AI to atack an specific area, i tried. But it never work as i want, they don't do anything.

[Stinkie11]

@LoboalphaMASTER Have you tried team/attack/attack a specific area? I never tried it so sorry if it doesn't work, if it does work pls tell me ;)

[subscriber44]

@LoboalphaMASTER Hmmm, I think, follow waypoint patch, and then attack or something :O but i think stinkie11 knows better.

[Stinkie11]

@subscriber44 That would be hard work, because you would have to make more waypointpaths than just one, because if you only have 1, your missions would be awfully easy knowing where the enemy will attack.

[subscriber44]

Amazing tutorial, thx alot. =)

[DOBBYMASTERD]

Nice Dude!

[kingvideo1o1]

Uh you do know that the train also needs scripts he only showed you how to setup the waypoints and marks where the train stops and go and where it stays the same hieght in the tunnel >.>

[Stinkie11]

@kingvideo1o1 Lol try before talking... You don't need scripts.. That's why this is so easy.

[Stinkie11]

@PAGITEMO Hejsil and paintcan made basic tutorials for worldbuilder you should look at their vids.

[daparkster101]

thats so cool

[Cepaka1]

can you make for car?i try like this with car but it not work

[Stinkie11]

@Cepaka1 Late response but watch my new video, it is a video response I think.

[BrickishStudios]

This is the coolest GLA Song could i have a link?

[Stinkie11]

@BrickishStudios You have the game right you can do it yourself watch my other video.

[paperfreak2]

does this work for vehicles to?

[Stinkie11]

@paperfreak2 Watch my other tut it is in recommended.

[charter1423th]

i forgot one more question

can you time how long they stop?

[Stinkie11]

@charter1423th again ini modding... and im not very good at that...

[charter1423th]

just a few questions-

1. What if you have more than one stationn,tunnel, bridge?

2. can you load your troops on the train?

3. what if you want the train to go underground and come up again-ex under a road

4.when it hits your troops will it destroy them?

5. can you make the train stop manual? -ex to make it look like your capturing it

6. How can you make swiches?

7. how can you make more than 1 train on the same track?

8. How can you make train connect to other trains?

[Stinkie11]

@charter1423th yay crappy youtube character limit :S

6.hard to explain, for example a 8 track making it go around the first time in a 0 shape and then making the waypath go around the same 0 again but when youre at a switch switch to the other 0 part and repeat. crappy explaination sorry...

7. just place another train on the same road, but make sure they dont collide at stations and that they have the smae speed.

8. if you mean a costumized train with for example a rocket on it you have to mod..

[Stinkie11]

@Stinkie11 the ini files... btw thumpbs up if you hate youtube for shitlayout and char limits :P

[zenja123]

@Stinkie11 i made a railway like you showed, and it worked :D

now the problem, when i comes out of tunnel it *drops* the train and when it gos in to the tunnel it goes up the hill and starts from beginning, now, how to fix these problems ?

[Stinkie11]

@zenja123 The tunnels are a big problem 4 everyone it seems (I had your problem myself) but what is the name of the first tunnelwaypoint exactly Check for spaces between railroad1tunnel and make sure that the end of the tunnel is not called railroadXXtunnel. try that if it doesnt work feel free 2 ask ;)

[zenja123]

@Stinkie11 ok, thnx :D i fixed and now it moves smoothly from tunnel to tunnel :D

are you good whit AI in generals ? i may have a few questions about that

[Stinkie11]

@zenja123 Great, Ask everything you want :P

[zenja123]

@Stinkie11 ok :D well, first, is there any way to make AI capture (for example Oilderrick) inside the INNERperimeter, besides the CombatZone?

[Stinkie11]

@zenja123 AI should capture it himself IF it is medium or hard army but you can name unit if it is a singleplayermission and give them the script use commandbuttonability on an object (Object is oilderrick, Commandbutton is capture)

[zenja123]

@Stinkie11 thnx :D i heard from my friend that it is possible to make even planes move just like that rain, is this true ? if so i would like to know how to do it :D

[Stinkie11]

@zenja123 Yes hes right but they wont follow the traintrack cuz they cant turn that quick but you have to name the plane and give them the command in scripts: EXACTLY follow waypointpath.

[Stinkie11]

@charter1423th maybe double post sorry 1. railroad1station (first one) railroad2station (second one) etc...

2. with good scripting or inimoddingyes, normal trains i dont hink its possible.

3. same as the tunnels, start the tunnel if the tracks are on the hight of the tunnel.

4. yes they go kaboom :P

5. hard scripting ini modding, yes but its VERY hard.

[neilatrocketmail]

I cant use the tunnels

[tekssbb]

Very nice vid!!

but i dont fully understand how to make the train stop in the station?

can you (or someone!) explain plz?

[Stinkie11]

Just call the waypoint where you want your train to start braking railroad1station for first station, for the second railroad2station etc. I'm sorry that I forgot to record the part in my vid.

[toxin1873]

my world builder wont open :( if you can help please do! but nice tutorial

[Stinkie11]

What kind of error do you have? And is Generals working properly or do you have errors with that as well?

[toxin1873]

oh doesent matter but it was somthing to do with run time libary but i sorted it

[Stinkie11]
