View source for Implementing a Mechanic

__NOTOC__

This adds a mechanic-like unit, similar to the Mechanic concept in Red Alert and Engineer+IFV in Red Alert 2.

=The Unit=

The code here is simple. Copying-and-pasting then modifying is good if you want a quick job, or you can easily create a new unit. Make sure it has a weapon you can edit as well.

=The Weapon=

Simply change the [[Damage]] to a negative number. Play with the actual value and [[ROF]] a little, since most values on standard weapons are pretty powerful for the task at hand.

=The Warhead=

Here, make sure only vehicle and/or special_1 verses are usable. The immunity logic helps a bit here, as certain things with said armors should not need repairing.

=Finishing Up=
After this, add the unit and warhead to your list and you're done!

=Notes=

*Using a Terror Drone is a good idea, but its [[LimboLaunch]] setup will have to be changed (unless you want it to, say, "merge" with the target and be lost in a one-time use). The attack will look like it is "scratching" (or "fixing") the unit if the [[LimboLaunch]] logic is removed. Add a good warhead animation and sound, if you wish, for a nice overall effect.

*[[InfantryTypes]] cannot be used to achieve this effect. The [[Hardcoded]] page, feature 6, explains why.
