I was trying to make a custom unit...

[Ondrejoda]

I was trying to make a custom unit, but i just found a problem. I am trying to find a way how to detect stored energy or AC, but I dont know the command. Could someone help me?

[Builder17]

Self CONST_AMMO GetUnitAttribute This gets current ammo of CRPLCORE script is in

Self CONST_AMMOAC GetUnitAttribute This gets current AC of CRPLCORE script is in

If you want get some other unit ammo/AC change Self to UID of unit

Also it would be nice to see that script you are making, just curious

[Ondrejoda]

Thank you, but then how do i reduce the stored ammount of AC/ammo?
Code:
Self CONST_AMMOAC GetUnitAttribute
if
   CurrentCoords -10 AddCreeper
   Delay 15
endif

To modify attributes, all you need to do is getunitattribute to setunitattribute and put a value in.
Here are some examples...

Self CONST_AMMO 10 SetUnitAttribute

Self CONST_AMMOAC 5 SetUnitAttribute

The 10 and 5 are where you place your value to change the attribute. This link may be helpful to you... http://knucklecracker.com/wiki/doku.php?id=crpl:crplreference
It shows every command you can use in CRPL and tells you how to use it too!

What should this custom unit do?
Knowing it could help us

There should be comparator before if

Self CONST_AMMOAC GetUnitAttribute 10 gte
if

I was thinking about a unit, that you put in AC, and it makes AC around, just for a test.

[Ondrejoda]

And acually, can i make a unit, that will work like a Energy to AC Converter, or a different type of a reactor?

[Nicant]

Yes, that's possible!

[Ondrejoda]

And how can I make that unit?

[Nicant]

Heres the code for that unit! It will take in ammo and produce AC! I had nothing to do so i made it for you! You can even use this for your other units as a template

Thank you all for the code, it is all working as it should.

[Ondrejoda]

But wait, can i make a different type of a reactor?

[GoodMorning]

Producing energy is difficult. Spawning standard Reactors or running the power through Siphons is the only really workable means, and both have inherent flaws.

[Ondrejoda]

Welll, could you check out the other topic for the chimera cannons?

[Ondrejoda]

Well, can i make a custom "AC Bertha", that the AC Bertha will have Auto Target for creeper, and when the AC bullet lands,it will make AC arround it.
Is it possible?
