Hey there.
I am trying to use helipad logic for a new map I am making. I attempted MDB scripts, assigning building type "Helipad" and setting production building to "helipad", but none of them are working. Anyone know how to use these in a MIX map in 4.0? I know I could do it back in 3.4.4, quite easily too.

We are working on ideas for how to make it possible to use the helipad logic on Renegade maps but we dont have any solution yet nor do we know when it will be possible.

Helipad logic, in 4.0 and 3.4 terms, Refers to allowing helicopters to be built seperately from the main vehicle buy screen. Newer versions also have them flying in from the side of the map, instead of just "appearing" out of thin air.

Well at this state it is not possible to let the engine logic do it for you. As jonwil stated he will be looking into this.
Hpwever you can make your own scripts that do as you said. To make it look like they are part of normal game logic. I might have time to write a descent version for you of you desire it.

If I remember right, my scripts(ExpVehFac) won't work on mix maps because they require some hud.ini settings to make the vehicle menu not grey out when a vehicle is building. However, I now know how to do that completely server-side, so that can be fixed. Is there another issue with mix maps that I'm forgetting about?

What he says 
And no I don't think you're forgetting something.

Yes, I can edit the script so that setting is no longer needed.
There's also another setting that prevents the menu from greying out when the vehicle factory is destroyed. Not sure offhand if that can be done server-side, but I'll look.

When using the ExpVehFac scripts the helipads and naval factories should be setup as generic buildings. The "Air Factory" and "Naval Factory" building types are for the logic added in 4.0 and shouldn't be mixed with these scripts.

Yes, I knew that. I didn't use them together.
Apparently, your documentation refers to a map with this setup. I tested it however, and it doesn't work. It crashes on load.
The map the documentation refers to is here:
http://black-cell.net/ExpVehFacExample.zip
And I also used the cin files found here:
http://black-cell.net/ExpVehFacCin.zip
FYI, here are the arguments the documentation says needs to be activated:
[General]
NewUnpurchaseableLogic=true
VehicleBuildingDisable=true

Both of those settings (NewUnpurchaseableLogic and VehicleBuildingDisable) are tt.ini keywords and will not work in a .mix map. (or even in a .pkg)

I just wanted to say that in the next big release of scripts (not sure of a release date so dont ask) there will now be per-map sidebar support so you can have a sidebar in your maps instead of the normal PT dialogs. And you get to use AirFactoryGameObj and NavalFactoryGameObj too if you want.
Works great too in my tests so far.
