They need this because they are just plain buildings that just sit there and look pretty. But buildings like the coil and sentry gun dont need it because they have a weapon to target for them or they have another funtion like the airport or depot. It had something to do with the AI.

Now I don't want it to do that, I want it to fire ONLY when a target is selected. Is this possible? And how?

(no matter how big the map is) and that a ROF of 9000 will wait 10 minutes (RA minutes ) wich is usefull for my 'superweapon' I also did the showtoall value, but I'm also looking for the timer. How can you show up a timer that indicates when the weapon fires. (Or a way to simulate this?) if it's possible with a weapon that's not a superweap.

ok put showtimer=yes in the structure's manual or the weapon's?? and I didn't get the other part.
Is it possible to make a structure that every so-many seconds creates like 5 engineers at any chosen location??
I like Tibed, RA2, Yuri's revenge and applepie!
