Placing Stratigic targets&Airfeilds
« on: May 22, 2002, 12:52:02 PM »
I'm making a Europe Map (England&France) and I want to put more than just airfeilds to bomb/destroy.  How do I put Trains on tracks and make them run back&forth, and is there anything I should know about adding Citys, or other things like Barns and what they do etc.?

I also found that players can man dead AA guns for some reason in some of my maps...

[Edit] Also I cant seem to be able to add feild guns (the 20mm 30mm and 37mm I cant get to work) I assigne them to a feild and set their "class" as Ground Gun.

This is copied from the AcesHighTerrainEditor Help file ( Ahtehelp )

The Object Data value is the road or track that the convoy or train is attached to.  The drop-down next to the Object Data box in the object properties will have a list of all tracks, roads, and rivers that have already been added to the terrain.  Simply select the correct entry from this list and the Object Data value will be set.

How do I put Trains on tracks and make them run back&forth
They don't really run back and forth, they just travel until they reach the end of the track and then respawn to the begining of the track.  So if your train was to run on track 0 then make sure all the Object Data values of the trains are set to 0

If the Source is a Depot, the train, convoy, or barge must be owned by that Depot number.  If the Source is a Station, the train, convoy, or barge must be owned by the country that owns the Station.

If your "CAN COLLIDE" box is NOT checked then these guns won't fire.

Check out the Strategic system for some understanding.

I would guess that any items that are placed and set as VOID or BOMBABLE don't have any effect on the Strat System.

These will effect strat

City is in the StCty-S group
HQ is in the StHdq-S group
Fact AAA is in the FtAck-S group
Fact Ammo is in the FtAmo-S group
Fact Barr is in the FtBar-S group
Fact Fuel is in the FtOil-S group
Fact Radar is in the FtRdr-S group
