Unit Hook

[thjkhdf12]

I tried to add convert warhead, but I don't know how to create hooks of UnitClass and InfantryClass , I want to add a function to apply convert warhead.

Is this what are you after? #369

Thanks. I also found it's risky, I modified C++ code and tried to get safe convert warhead but always cause fatal error or keep original locomotor like your convert warhead. Libra can't change locomotor to teleporter or G.I. convert to Chrono Legionnaire will cause fatal error while attacking. So I tried to recreate unit on same location. But it seems useless because exist function AnimationCreateUnit, covert should keep some information (like related trigger).

changing FootClass locomotor require step and right procedure , also not all locomotor is swappable afaik , been experimenting on these for a while now , if you want to know how to sawap locomotor , here is ares code for reference :
https://github.com/Ares-Developers/Ares/blob/f642263ec12dd393bdc02ba122e63d87cd09faaa/src/Ext/Techno/Body.cpp#L524

This one significantly old code , but can be adapted like droppod above :

Hope these data can help you !

I used function ChangeLocomotorTo() but useless, maybe some bugs in my code... I'll check it out.
