Island bunkers

Numetalfan

I wonder if it is possible to create a unit with the following requirements:

A) only available for Japan
can be "produced" only on islands
C) can be "produced" without a factory or similar production unit
D) is buyable from round 5 on. Round 1-4 has to blocked somehow (probably by a trigger function)

Any idea if this is possible.
If, please tell me the XOB coding.
Thx

bullet point B ) turned into an emoji.....

@numetalfan he musta bowled up lol

Yea it's possible. There's a bit that goes into it. You can look at "Atlantic Wall" here

global_40_expansion.xml

I think that does what you want.

I guess beelee gave you already a proper and satisfying answer, but I would recommend you to have a look into the "game properties" basically and because I'm right now working on something that has also to do with YOUR point "D":
NWO (New World Order) game.xml will show you easily how you can handle producing at different rounds - with triggers...

When will the community be able to have a look at your game - of course with these "island bunkers"?

<unit name="Atlantic_Wall"/>

b)
<productionRule name="buyAtlantic_Wall">
<cost resource="PUs" quantity="1"/>
<result resourceOrUnit="Atlantic_Wall" quantity="1"/>
</productionRule>

Anyone an idea what the message shuld tell me? Where I can find the problem.

also make sure you have these game properties activated
"More Constructions with Factory"
"More Constructions without Factory"
"Unlimited Constructions"

So the error looks like the "Shipyards" tech is the problem. If you have player specific units for individual players, you need to disable it. You can recreate a different "Shipyard" tech if you want to have it.

Check POS2

@beelee

all problems solved - indead, it was the tech

tested those bunkers, everything works now, very well
