Medic

[Kyle]

Would it be possible to make a medic unit for emperor(sorta like the one in starcraft: brood war)...that would be able to heal injured infantry?...I just think that would be really cool.  8) Now i don't know too much about modding, but i suppose you could mod the atr repair vehicle into an infantry unit that could repair infantry... ???

give it negative damage, and attack your own infantry with it.

Yes but then it will repair your enemy's men as well.

It would be possible in some ways:

1) Make a "Repair Vehicle" and disable the option for every non-infantry unit that it can be repaired. However, this makes that you can't use a real repair vehicle anymore

2) Make a unit which does negative damage to other units, thus healing them, and make them do only "damage" against infantry-armor. The disadvantage of this is that you can't let the medic automatically do its job, but you need to force every repair with ctrl + LMB. And you must remove the default guard mode the medic is in, or it will heal enemy units... You can do this by giving this medic stealth.

ok like i said...i'm not too educated when it comes to modding...so how could i actually change the attack value to make it negative and make the unit stealthed...how would i go about creating this medic unit?

Give it friendlydamage = -100, that way it will hurt enemies and heal friendly units.

[Kyle]

you must understand...i know nothing when it comes to modding...lol...how do i give it friendlydamage -100 ?  ???

[Inoculator9]

It's a weapons damage value that you'd add to a weapon entry in the Rules file.

[Kyle]

thank you guys for all your help...but i'm still confused...where would the rules file be...i didn't see it in the emperor folder at all... ???
