Hey community,

I know that one can block or lock the production of certain units via SCAR in a custom map's _ID.scar file or in a game-mode script.

Now my question is: Is it possible to allow/enable the construction of certain units this way, too? For example adding a Tiger to the WH T4 building - via game-mode script?

As alternative, in case combined with a tuning pack, would it be possible to add a certain upgrade to all players+AI (that is an requirement for the production of the unit) on beginning of the round via SCAR?

It is not possible to add units to a building via SCAR, but you can add upgrades using the Player_CompleteUpgrade function.

Thanks a lot, man. As pointed out, the upgrade option should do the trick as well. However, one more question: How can I reference a custom upgrade from a tuning pack in the function. I have no problems getting a vanilla upgrade running like this, but once I type in the name of my upgrade (lets call it "my_upgrade"), I get a fatal.

So this is the code I added to the OnInit() of the .scar of a custom wincondition:

Code

for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount()
do
local player = World_GetPlayerAt(i)
Player_CompleteUpgrade(player, BP_GetUpgradeBlueprint("my_upgrade"))
end


I guess I have to insert the ModID along with the upgrade name. I'm not exactly sure how though.

All custom blueprints use the format "ModId:BlueprintName". For example:

Code

Player_CompleteUpgrade(player, BP_GetUpgradeBlueprint("2e942f74cb054cf398885a590ab1af7e:my_upgrade"))
