(FA) Transport/Factory/Carrier question

Ello again. I am trying to make a Experimental Transport, which can build small aircraft as its AA Defense. However, I cant seem to make the factory part of the unit tell the difference between the Ground unit attach points (AttachPoint01~19) and the Air Unit Attach points (AirAttach01~03)
Any idea how to make the unit only set built/Docked Air units to the AirAttach points and not touch the regular attachpoints?|||Well nothing else already in the game does this so your going to have to create a work around to trick the engine into allowing it to happen.
Resin|||Some units have drones, like the UEF ACU's shoulder build-drones, could you maybe look into that?|||Sam37|||You never stop to think there might be a connection? After all the ACU drones are technically aircraft.
Just because its not exactly what you need doesn't mean there aren't connections or clues to be had.
Mike|||Hi,
OrangeKnight|||I'm not sure what your goals are. Do you want the aircraft to be 'linked' to the unit, and have a limit on how many each one can construct and manage? In other words, drones.
Or do you want them to be normal aircraft? In which case, they can't use attach points for any purpose other than refueling (and you probably won't be able to control which attachpoints they use for refueling).|||I was hoping for it to be like the Czar, only with Ground transportation capabilities. But since there is no way to designate Factory functions to certain attachpoints, I think I might go with Drones...|||Yeah, I don't think you can assign specific attachpoints for air units / air storage. You may run into the same problem with drones, though - drones will use any available attachpoint, rather than just the one they were created at. I'm not sure if you can specifically designate an attachpoint as unusable to transported units, either, so units may get attached to the drone attachpoints.
There are reasons that there weren't any combined units like this in FA...|||ok then, Thanks for all the help everyone... Ill have to redesign the unit to use AA Turrets instead XD|||brandon007|||OrangeKnight
