Switchable Units

[Ralle]

I made AA switchable to Art for support fire, after Ai air is gone.
I also made a mountaineer switchable to Art for support for my normal mountaineers.
If I now make a mountaineer AA...so switch between Inf and AA...can I make that switch to Art, too?
So a threeway unit?

Yes one can make a trimode unit.
You have to give one mode the trait 'primary', this is necessary!

The other two should have 'nopurchase' trait, this is optional, keeps your purchase screen cleaner.
Although not having it gives more upgrade paths.

Alright. As mountain AA there shouldn`t be too much Upgrades... A n 88 makes no sense in that case. Thanks.

Dalfrede is correct about the primary trait. However, if you give "nopurchase" to both the 2nd and 3rd switches, the game will crash. I recommend giving the second unit "nopurchase" and then changing the availability date to one day only for the 3rd unit, e.g. 01.01.1950-01.01.1950. This would keep your purchase screen cleaner as Dalfrede has suggested.

There is a discussion from Phcas' mod about this exact problem; about halfway down the page.

Thanks. I already had Problems and didn`t really know why. Now it works.

[Ralle]

Well. I thought it works but somehow not.
Could someone enlighten me please?
These are the three lines:

I just can`t see it...though it must something simple.

Hello Ralle:

It looks like you put incorrect values for the "switch" column in the first two entries:
- In the line number 1743, you should write 1744 in the switch column.
- In the line number 1744, you should write 1745 in the switch column.

Besides, I think it should be correct to put the same prestige cost value for the three variants of the same unit.

This should do the trick. Greetings.

[Ralle]

Well yes...but Unit stat will be made when the unit itself is working...

[Ralle]

Stupid me...now it`s running fine.

Thanks dude

[guille1434]

No problem... Happy you could squash the bug and glad to help!

[Ralle]

And the problem in here...probabaly more or less the same...

[cw58]

First unit needs a "primary" trait, second unit needs "nopurchase".

And I'm not sure why you have a 2nd "Para" in each line.

[Ralle]

Like that?

Second Para is just the series names...

[cw58]

Yes, the "primary" and "nopurchase" are correct. Now I understand about the 2nd "Para" but the series names should be before the switch numbers (1746,1747), not after. See example below. Are you using notepad to edit your file or a spreadsheet program?
