Create new target types?

[+malibu43 142]

Hey all,

 

I know the target types listed for AirOffensive[001].Primary=, AirOffensive[001].Secondary=, etc... need to correspond to a target type called out in the _types.ini for a terrain, but I was wondering if it's possible to define new target types in the _types.ini or if these are coded into the game somewhere.

 

For example, if I added this to the _types.ini for a terrain:

 

[TargetType100]

Name=VC_Inf

FullName=VC Infantry

TargetType=TARGET_OF_OPPORTUNITY

ActiveYear=0

TargetValue=1

UseGroundObject=TRUE

GroundObjectType=VC_Squad

RepairRate=0.555

StartDetectChance=50

StartIdentifiedChance=10

IncreaseDetectChanceKey=10

MaxVisibleDist=4000.0

DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect

SecondaryChance=0

 

...then added VC_Inf in certain locations in the _targets.ini, and then in a campaign_data.ini added TARGET_OF_OPPORTUNITY to the targets for air offensives, would that work?

 

I know I could just add an existing target type for VC_Inf (WAREHOUSE, for example), but I'd like to try something different here, if possible.

 

Thanks!

I always classed the infantry units as "MISC", even though their data ini says "TANK"

 

It "Target_of_Opportunity" listed somewhere in a dll??? If not, it may crash.

Awesome. Targets_of_opportunity didn't work, but MISC did.

 

Thanks!
