MattAttack Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Figured I'd share a couple things I've gleaned from working on my campaign regarding this topic. First of all, I've been experimenting with the "carry over money" function and trying to utilize it in new and exciting ways and discovered that harvested tiberium IS NOT carried over whatsoever, but "credits" (money from crates, cancelling construction, selling units/structures) are. Kind of a bummer because I was trying to create a bonus mission where you must harvest a shitload of Tib in a limited amount of time to carry over but it just won't work that way. Second in regards to the "credits" trigger; it works in a very similar manner. Tiberium harvested amounts to nothing towards a trigger activated by "credits" but money crates and the like will. Just in case anybody gives a shit... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wait, you mean that if I harvest and regrow the whole map five times over, but I just build more silos instead of using the build-cancel trick to clean out my silos, I wouldn't get any money from that in the next mission? :O Did you try the other one, CarryOverCap? I don't think anyone ever tested what it did, but it sure seems to imply that could be "capacity", aka, stored tiberium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try the other one, CarryOverCap? I don't think anyone ever tested what it did, but it sure seems to imply that could be "capacity", aka, stored tiberium. Yeah I think I read a post, probably by you, theorizing about that. Tried it and it did nothing. But now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I had player silos in the next mission waiting to be "carried over" into... maybe I'll test that later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 O GOD NO!!! I wasted so much time! This is why all the random logic testing Matt does is great. Some of the stuff hes discovered recently has been really interesting (like how BadGuy cannot build Medium Tanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 But now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I had player silos in the next mission waiting to be "carried over" into... That would kind of defeat the point of the test, yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AchromicWhite Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Wait, so we're thinking that; if you have the silos ready to go at the start of the next mission it'll carry over then? Sounds interesting. Maybe we could make a mission where there is, more or less, a timer before the end of the mission, but you also have to (or can) collect crates around the map, to help you out. The issue I always had with the extra money thing, is that I'd just restart missions frequently. Even just scouting at the start of a mission to see what it's all about, and then restart strait away. Obviously this would wreck the 'extra money' thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I believe you keep extra money if you actually lose the mission and restart it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
