Correctly Working Naval Yards

From ModEnc

It can be done but it is fairly complicated and can only be done by these following ways:

  • It can work if captured.
  • It can work if deployed from a building.


When you play with GDI and you capture a Nod war factory you have access to build Nod vehicles. However the Nod vehicles will only come out of the Nod warfactory and not the GDI war factory not even if you set it to primary. Also if you set your captured Nod war factory to primary and build a GDI unit it will come the GDI warfactory.

Basically if the war factories owner is GDI it can only build units that are owned by GDI and the same for applies to Nod. If there was a 3rd war factory and its owner was say Neutral and you captured it,the Neutral war factory would only be able to build any units owned by Neutral,so if you set your GDI war factory to primary and built a Neutral unit it would only come out of the Neutral war factory. That means if Neutral could build only boats,then if you captured a Neutral warfactory you would get access to their boats and they would not be able to come out of your GDI or Nod war factory but the Neutral one instead.That means you would not have to switch between primary between warfactories.

But that only works if you capture a building which was originally owned by someone else. But you can build these types of war factory/naval yards. Basically make a mobile naval yard with at least this. 

[MOBILEYARD] 
Owner=GDI/Nod ----depends on who you want to be. 
DeploysInto=MOBILEYARDD

Then you would have to make a new house that you cant play as.Call this new house naval.Now give naval some different types of boat units. Then you need to make the mobile naval yard in its deployed mode.Which MUST be like this. 

[MOBILEYARDD] 
Owner=naval ---------------THIS IS REQUIRED 
WaterBound=yes ------so it can only be deployed on water. (This is only needed for a naval
yard) 
UnDeploysInto=NAVALYARD

When your GDI mobile naval yard deploys it will switch its house to naval but you will still have control over it and also be able to build any units that the naval house can build.They will also only come out of the deployed naval yard as it is naval's war factory and cannot build GDI or Nod units but only naval and GDI/Nod war factories can't build any units owned by naval.

It is also possible to make a 2nd unplayable house. Call this house "test". Make the following unit. 

[MOBILETEST] 
Owner=GDI/Nod ----depends on who you want to be. 
DeploysInto=MOBILETESTD

Then make the following building as a warfactory 

[MOBILETESTD] 
Owner=test--------------THIS IS REQUIRED 
UnDeploysInto=MOBILETEST

Now for test give them some of their own units all must have the owner test and test only,the same applies for naval. You will be able to build their units out of that specific war factory only regardless of primary settings.

This could also be used well in missions or for things like a dog kennel.

Thanks to: TSHyper for testing this and Big Jah for reveiwing the logic. Have fun!

Addition to the Above

1) The way described above does not only work for capturables and deployables! And you can also create Kennels and other specialized production facilities this way. If your building has, say: 

[KENN]
...
Owner=Nod,Dog_side
Factory=InfantryType

and your Dog has: 

[DOG]
Owner=Dog_side
...

Nod will be able to build the Kennel, but Dogs can only be trained in the Kennel, and will exit the Kennel when having completed training, rather than the Hand of Nod.

(Dog_side should be non-multiplayer. That is no must, but will have strange side effects, unless you make it a fullout playable side).

The same works for Naval Yards, Artillery Yards, or seperate Airfields and Helipads for Helicopters and Bombers/Fighters, seperate Naval Yards and Sub Pens for Ships and Subs, etc.

2) This works in RA2 as well! The game will not accept additional playable houses, as we all know, but it does accept dummy houses to allow a system as above.
