How to add units?

[Zzzzz...]

How can I add air units via save game?

Thanks in advance.

You mean how to get, for example, an interceptor division?

I'm guessing that you could do it via event, it should be easier than modding the save game.

Yes. Adding divisions. INTs and TACs to be specific. What's the code for that to put into an event?

I found an event in the files which create air units.

event = {
id = 655003
random = no
country = FIN

name = "The Finnish airforce grows!"
desc = "Our friends in Berlin have agreed to our proposal, and transfered our new interceptors to Helsinki! While costly, our airforce has gained tremendous strength!"
style = 0
picture = "itaplanes"

action_a = {
name = "Long live Finland, proud and strong!"
command = { type = relation which = FIN value = 20 }
command = { type = add_division which = "Lentorykmentti 2" value = interceptor when = 2 }
command = { type = add_division which = "Lentorykmentti 3" value = interceptor when = 2 }
command = { type = metalpool value = -1000 }
command = { type = energypool value = -800 }
command = { type = supplies value = -800 }
command = { type = money value = -120 }
command = { type = rarematerialspool value = -200 }
}

Just change the tag, names, id, and remove some commands. You now have an event giving you aircraft.

Thanks! What about TACs? Is it like this?

command = { type = add_division which = "Lentorykmentti 2" value = tactical when = 2 }

There's a folder with a bunch of txt files that list models. Use the name for the text files. Mountain had a really weird one.

 

[unmerged(174159)]

event = {
	id = 999999
	country = XXX
	style = 0
	picture = air_reinforcements
	random = no

	name = "Airforce"
	desc = "Frikkin Planes, out tha sky!"

	action_a = {
		name = "How excellent!"
		command = { type = add_corps which = "Nyeeeeoooowwww"value = air where = -1 }
		command = { type = add_division which = "Pow Pow"value = interceptor when = 1 }
		command = { type = add_division which = "Dakka Dakka"value = interceptor when = 1 }
		command = { type = add_division which = "Bang Bang"value = tactical when = 1 }
		command = { type = add_division which = "Boom Boom"value = tactical when = 1 }
	}

Replace XXX with your country tag, and add to the end of any existing event file. Fire manually using f12 then 'event 999999'
