Forums - Sp Icons in OOBS

This is for all out resident WinSPMBT experts. You know who you are. ;)

I am wanting to make a special unit for a scenario I am doing.

The information in the unit is irrelevant, I want the icon to be a aircraft icon and that icon to sit stationary on an airfield.

So a stationary unit, ammo dump or whatever but with a aircraft icon.

Every time I try it, and save the scenario its fine. But on starting up the scenario to play test it the ammo dumps/Trucks etc with the aircraft icon blows up straight away. :angry:

Can it be done ?

I have the CD version and am using the mobhack editor but am having a few issues and am wondering if I am missing a step.

Easy way buy one from United Nations or pretty sure red & green have them listed under the misc tab.
To build your own is easy to if use the game editor not OOB editor.
Select the plane you want press the D key & change speed to zero.
If you want can remove weapons.
What I think you are doing is reducing the crew to zero you cant it will blow up at game start.

If you want to get more complex need to use OOB editor & change the icon & unit info on say an ammo container or hovercraft.
This could give you a plane that can taxi but not fly if thats what you need but it wont be targeted by AAA weapons.

Ah Imp my friend, you are the man !!

It was the crew I was missing. Added some crew and they work like I want.

Cheers Buddy.

Wigam glad to be of service heck your the one that does all the hard work building scenerios & to that I say top man.
If the idea is planes are parked up so no crew so long as you used a plane class unit to start with the crew never survive in SP just remove the weapons or there ammo to stop firing if they can.
