With this new command, do I put it on top, or below of the Population cap command?

*Edit

Here is the bunch of coding I am using:

function OnInitID()
--Population cap override value
g_popCapOverRide = 500

for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
local player = World_GetPlayerAt(i)
Player_SetPopCapOverride(player, g_popCapOverRide)
end

Cmd_CriticalHit(World_GetPlayerAt(1), EG_AMV, CRIT.VEHICLE_ABANDON, 0)
end

Scar_AddInit(OnInit)

-- [[ Markers ]]

-- [[ Squad Groups ]]

-- [[ Entity Groups ]]
EG_AMV = EGroup_CreateIfNotFound("EG_AMV")

end

Thanks for the link to this updated tutorial.

I don't know if this thread is still alive. I have a similar question to Tyknapp and am using the same exact script format. How can I get artillery, pak43s, etc. to get abandoned? Where would I put the script? I have gotten individual scripts to work by themselves but when I combine them with popcap, resource rate, etc. the artillery can't get picked up by the guys. Sometimes game crashes. It's frustrating.

Thanks very much and your threads have helped me with my world building SO much!

These tutorials have saved me from alot of headache, thanks for that!

However, I'm still unable to understand the scripting of the .scar's at all.

I'm trying to use "howitzer_105mm_le_fh18_mp" on my current map project and I want it to be a purely visual addition to the map.
Infantry gets the mousecursor to capture the gun, but they aren't able to and I want to get rid of the cursor.
I've been trying my luck with creating an entity with all the howitzers in it and the "Entity_SetRecrewable" line set to false, but the timeflow just freezes as soon as the map loads ingame.

Should I use "EGroup_SetRecrewable" instead or am I just doing everything horribly wrong?

I really could use more tutoring with the scripting

Yes, you should use functions starting with EGroup_ for egroups.

I'm also curious about abandoned AT guns and Artillery.

- Is it even possible?
- Where did you find the abandon vehicle critical? A data search in all coh2 scar files doesn't give me any results.

I'm pretty sure you can find out by just trying! I'm not entirely sure if it works with team weapons.

Units are still non-capcuratible (non captured) a can't used this abadon units ( for example artilery)

I quickly checked my CheatCommands Mod II code and it would seem that I never implemented abandoning entities. Unfortunately I can't be more of help right now.

Hey guys, this tutorial doesn't work, tanks are still uncapturable. I created an entity group containing 4 tigers, 2 avres, and 2 crocs, and set it up exactly as shown, saving the scar file after saving the map, then exporting. When tested, the tanks weren't capturable.

The other tutorial on this site doesn't work either...

I seem to have the same issue, I did exactly the steps in the tutorial and still vehicles are not capturable (I made only one for test). Is there essential information missing or does the tutorial need some updating?

Nvm, I got it to work, instead of creating a new scar file I pasted the code from the tutorial in the yourmapname_ID.scar file just after EG_entitygroupname = EGroup_CreateIfNotFound("EG_entitygroupname")

so, mine looks like this

function OnInitID()

-- [[ Markers ]]

-- [[ Squad Groups ]]

-- [[ Entity Groups ]]
EG_KV2 = EGroup_CreateIfNotFound("EG_KV2")

function OnInit()
Cmd_CriticalHit(World_GetPlayerAt(1), EG_KV2, CRIT.VEHICLE_ABANDON, 0)

end

Scar_AddInit(OnInit)

end

This was not mentioned in the tutorial.

Question, I want to add a few artillery pieces and I'm struggling a bit. I'm following the instructions but want to ask for clarity. Step 2. Can I save the Entity Group under whatever name I wish? Or does it have to match what's in the eg item tree exactly? Example, I initially named my Entity Group "Arty" and changed the code to "Arty" also. Fail, now I'm thinking I should save my Entity Group as howitzer_105mm_le_fh18 and then add the same to the code you provided? Also, in the map location, will the save reflect as a scar and a text document? Sorry, this is a lot.
