Three-Way Units.

[Shoughie]

Hey I was wondering the proper way to create a unit that can switch into three separate units like its cycling through the three. How is this done properly?

It is not that hard.
You just have to direct the unit number in your last "switch option" back to the first one of your cycle.

100 Unit 1 101
101 Unit 2 102
102 Unit 3 100

Something like that.
Regards.

Thanks, I had the same idea myself. This is what I tried, but every time I try it it causes the game to crash.

I think I have the solution for your crashes... because it happened to me too
The trick is that the "primary" unit from the cycle HAS to be purchasable, otherwise the game crash. The rest of the units can be "nopurchasable".

Hope it helps.
Regards.

As far as I remember I had the same problem as Shoughie.
After I deleted one of the "nopurchase", I got no crash any more, but the unit shows up twice in the buying screen.

It seems two "nopurchase" types linked with a switch causes a crash.

Thanks everybody, I got it to work
