How do u add tanks in ACASv3

[Cybortron]

hello everytime i want to add a tank into TT/game/server/Admin Script/codes/New Codes.cs it wont change my tank into a Cruiser when i type /admc this is what i added:

$ACAS::CodesFolder::Function[0] = "Change tank";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Shortcut[0] = "/admc";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Description[0] = "Change Player into Cruiser";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::GuiArgs[0] = "SelectedPlayer";

datablock TankData(CruiserTank : MediumTank)
{
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/newshapes/CruiserBlack.dts";
brainShapeFile = "~/data/shapes/tanks/bot01.dts";
fx = "BabyBossFX";
maxSpeed = 25.0; // meters per second (in forward direction)
accelRate = 25.0; // increase velocity this many meters per second
deccelRate = 50.0; // when breaking, decrease velocity
turnRate = 61.0; // degrees per second
antiSlideRate = 50.2;
turretHorRange = 33.5; // range in +/- degrees of turret horizontally
turretAutoLevel = 0.92;
damageAmount = 40.0; // total amount of damage tank can withstand
suspensionRange = 0.8; // proportion of wheel size for wheel to move up/down
damageScale = 5.0; // multiply damage we do to others by this amount
armorScale = 0.1; // multiply damage we take by this amount (note: smaller better)
defaultProjectile = "LightProjectile";
ai = GoldLightAI;
};
Someone tell me how to add a code

same problem here -.-

Did you enable the code from the ACAS in game menu.

Start Thinktanks, go to Options, then ACAS, go to server, and check the code that you made. So that you can use it

[TMG Leader]

your missing some things and the function name isnt right so look at this

$ACAS::CodesFolder::Function[0] = "tankchanger";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Shortcut[0] = "/light";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::ExtraArg[0] = "LightTank";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Description[0] = "Change to LightTank";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::GuiArgs[0] = "SelectedPlayer";

so
Function[0]="tankchanger";
thats the function for all tank changing codes

Shortcut[0] = "/light";
this is the code that you can change to any thing you want with a "/"before it

Description[0] = "Change to LightTank";
this is the description that'll show up in the GUI

$ACAS::CodesFolder::GuiArgs[0] = "SelectedPlayer";
for a tank changing code I don't think this is necessary but put it anyway since I don't know if it will work without it

Okay now for the tank itself
so heres is your tank

datablock TankData(CruiserTank : MediumTank)
{
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/newshapes/CruiserBlack.dts";
brainShapeFile = "~/data/shapes/tanks/bot01.dts";
fx = "BabyBossFX";
maxSpeed = 25.0; // meters per second (in forward direction)
accelRate = 25.0; // increase velocity this many meters per second
deccelRate = 50.0; // when breaking, decrease velocity
turnRate = 61.0; // degrees per second
antiSlideRate = 50.2;
turretHorRange = 33.5; // range in +/- degrees of turret horizontally
turretAutoLevel = 0.92;
damageAmount = 40.0; // total amount of damage tank can withstand
suspensionRange = 0.8; // proportion of wheel size for wheel to move up/down
damageScale = 5.0; // multiply damage we do to others by this amount
armorScale = 0.1; // multiply damage we take by this amount (note: smaller better)
defaultProjectile = "LightProjectile";
ai = GoldLightAI;
};

open this file in game/server/scripts/tankDB.cs
if you don't have it click the link to download it
http://supra.planetthinktanks2.com/arch ... tankDb.zip
put it in game/server/scripts
then open the file
as you can see this is the last tank in the file

datablock TankData(BabyBoss : MediumTank)
{
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/tanks/tank05.dts";
brainShapeFile = "~/data/shapes/tanks/brainjar04.dts";
fx = "BabyBossFX";

maxSpeed = 16.0; // meters per second (in forward direction)
accelRate = 15.0; // increase velocity this many meters per second
deccelRate = 16.0; // when breaking, decrease velocity
turnRate = 61.0; // degrees per second
antiSlideRate = 10.2;

turretHorRange = 33.5; // range in +/- degrees of turret horizontally
turretAutoLevel = 0.92;

damageAmount = 10.0; // total amount of damage tank can withstand
suspensionRange = 0.8; // proportion of wheel size for wheel to move up/down

damageScale = 1.0; // multiply damage we do to others by this amount
armorScale = 1.8; // multiply damage we take by this amount (note: smaller better)

defaultProjectile = "LightProjectile";
ai = GoldLightAI;

};

PASTE YOUR TANK DIRECTLY UNDER IT AND SAVE THE CHANGES
then open think tanks and do what Music said to do, save your preferences, and restart the game and test the code

help! do i need to make a new .cs file? my TeamsTanksProjectiles.cs looks like this:

is there anything wrong??

I wouldn't put it in that file. Yes make a new .cs and name it whatever you want and place it in game/server/Admin Script/Codes
then put all the codes you want there and the admin script will automatically execute it for ya. If you already have a file like this then just add the codes you want there. Just the codes though not this

function admtankchanger(%sender,%msg,%type)
{
%match = matchClientName(%msg);
%client = firstword(%match);
%status_message = restwords(%match);
if(%client == -1)
{
bottomprint(%sender,%status_message,4,4);
return;
}

%client.startingtankdb = %type;
%client.player.setDatablock(%type);
%client.player.setProjectile(%type.defaultProjectile);
bottomprint(%client,"Your tank has been changed to" SPC %type,4,4);
bottomprint(%sender,%client.namebase@"'s tank has been changed to" SPC %type,4,4);
}

the admin script should know the function admtankchanger since it's already in a file.
EXAMPLE:

$ACAS::CodesFolder::Function[12] = "admtankchanger";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Shortcut[12] = "/admmy";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::ExtraArg[12] = "MyNewTank";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Description[12] = "Change Player to MyNewTank;
$ACAS::CodesFolder::GuiArgs[12] = "SelectedPlayer";

and paste this at the bottom IF THE CODE DOES NOT WORK AS IT IS SHOWN ABOVE.
function admtankchanger(%sender,%msg,%type)
{
%match = matchClientName(%msg);
%client = firstword(%match);
%status_message = restwords(%match);
if(%client == -1)
{
bottomprint(%sender,%status_message,4,4);
return;
}

%client.startingtankdb = %type;
%client.player.setDatablock(%type);
%client.player.setProjectile(%type.defaultProjectile);
bottomprint(%client,"Your tank has been changed to" SPC %type,4,4);
bottomprint(%sender,%client.namebase@"'s tank has been changed to" SPC %type,4,4);
}

hope this helps if not, I'll continue to help u.
