I have this Idea of how to make oil derricks that function like those in RA2. This might be useful for those working on the RA1 mod.
The key to this is making it a vehicle and not a structure. Then you can use the credit trickle script. However, If my theory is correct, when a player enters a vehicle it becomes a vehicle on their side. This means that if someone is in the oil derrick that players team gets money. This would also balance things out since if you want money, it would take one player out of the fight.

I got idea, how about no.
Leave the Red Alert 2 things for Red Alert 2, and the Red Alert 1 things for Red Alert 1.

Is this what your trying to say: to have the oil derricks playable so to capture it would mean to be stuck in it for the whole game (unless destroyed) for extra credits

Why must you ask the most obvious questions and sound like such a retard in the process?

I don't know if you could get in and out of it as freely as you wush, but I do believe you could get in and out of it as freely as you wish.

Let me explain my idea in a way more of you can understand.
You need money, your refinery is destroyed. You don't have a very good weapon. So you go to the oil derrick. You get in the oil derrick. You wait. You get money while you wait. You get out of the oil derrick. You go back to base and buy something.
The whole point is a way of getting quick cash. To balance it, it makes you wait and not be able to do anything while getting the money.

looks like cyborg is going to beet ack pretty soon for most hated member of the community. I like the idea though it would be ideal if you could find some way to make it stay on one team with out someone being in it.

Simple we get dante to make a script that does it. i don't think anyone in this fourm could be "hated" unless its a flamer. i don't think everyone hates ACK or cyborg. they just "dislike" some people.

Would it be possible to place, say, a gun or missle turret onto the platform that you enter and control rather than "entering" a dead, useless oil plant?
That way you could have something to do and defend the money-machine from enemy attacks while still recieving money.
It could even be worth it if someone could do that
