Decapping Forward HQ?

The forward HQ ability that one of the soviet commanders has, targets a neutral building and converts it to a player-owned building that can't be garrisoned by the enemy.

My question is: how would i go about making that forward hq able to be decapped, reverting it back to being a neutral building that can once again be garrisoned by anyone...like you could in coh1?

Obviously a good idea, never understood why it doesnt work that way

it was in original game, wondered why the hell they didn't implement it to this game.

In the Field Support extension on the building, you can set the occupied revert time. By default its -1, which disables it. Anything above 0 enables reverting the building.

If you want to enable this for every building, you would have to modify each attrib entry.

Nice, it works. Problem is, there is no progress bar or indicator when decapping a forward HQ. There is a capping cursor when hovering over it with a squad, you can click it and it will decap after the specified duration, but there is no visual indicator that the squad is in the process of doing that.

How do i fix that?

The technology just isn't there yet, just like re-bindable keys.

Well, not quite. You could use a kicker action, a delay action, or possibly even a effect to communicate how much time is left till' decap.

i can't believe you take my strongest point of criticism since 2k13 and use it yourself you damn copycat criticcheater.

Me: I am scared, that i will need to shake ma head the same as when i read ur posts, so i rather not

Katitof: Its not even close to me even at my worst in the past, imagine ullu, incendiary, aaa, vetlolcake and disto merge into one mega axis zord with forcefield protecting it from accepting any factual data. Add to that a victim card(his rumblings at my PM).

That's what i was thinking too. Question then is, how do i check for whether or not they are decapping a forward hq? There doesn't seem to be any actions that trigger in the field_support_ext.

With the kicker, i imagine displaying how many seconds are left, every couple of seconds...but is there really no way to do some kind of UI progress bar?

I really intersted in this feature. Maybe we could find a solution together.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
