Hi Craig,
I appreciate that about the inheritance stuff and I am looking forward to your
new map pack!
Honestly, I wouldn’t have asked if it didn’t work. Ironically,
Another fellow on the list actually got the old one working, causeing units to
transform automatically back after the duration ended. Oddly enough, because
he got it working I am now in this dilemma, lol.
Originally I had these units being forced to change thru a negative backlash if
the player did not change back. I guess in the end maybe I should reconsider
going back to something like that in order to get the new script flags into the
map pack, because I very much prefer those, in addition if I understand them
right, I will now be able to implement a unit team toggle which is so much
eaiser then the way I got it. In addition I want to implement the new stuff
into my older map packs etc.
So if it isn’t feasible, then so be it. I just appreciate the work you put
into them!

Hi al,
The inheritance stuff isn't documented, you're right. I got it from one of the
update notices emails. In it I think Ian said he hadn't got around to
documenting this stuff yet. I think it was dev 28 or somewhere around that
mark. Sorry, I dunno if that's accurate. I'm writing this on my phone, so I
won't attempt to give my own version of documentation here, but I can try and
do it later. And it might not be in my command and conquer maps, since I can't
get it going for structures and they're the most obvious candidates for
inheritance. I'm starting on a new, not so serious map pack and I've used it
there. I'm not very far with it yet, but hopefully to get the first map fully
done it won't take me too long.
As for the scripts situation, if you mean the game crashing when certain units
transform, I don't think it worked in the old version either, since I remember
the weer warrior in particular wouldn't work and that was definitely using the
old version of my scripts. I'm not sure downgrading would solve this. I'm not
sure how well the old and new scripts would play together. I'm not sure whether
to put the time in to make a working old version if it won't actually resolve
your problem though.
I hope this makes sense.
Craig
