| |
| − | Squad=0,<none>,no ;Nothing happens{{fnl|2}}. In RA2 and YR, it instead functions as a second Money.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first parameter dictates the chance of getting this kind of crate. It does not mean %, it means 'param#1 shares out of all possible shares'.<br>
| |
| − | The second one says what [[animation]] to play.<br>
| |
| − | Third one says if this crate can be found on water.<br>
| |
| − | The fourth one varies by crate.<br>

| − | ==Problems==
| |
| − | Certain naval units contain [[CrateGoodie|CrateGoodie=yes]], or don't include the tag at all. The game does not differentiate between naval and ground vehicles, and a unit crate might give you a naval unit on a no-water map, resulting in an [[Internal Error]]. If the map does contain water, though, the naval unit will be spawned in the water without the error. So best to set [[CrateGoodie]] on all naval units to no (note, originally the Destroyer lacks this tag, so fix it too).
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{fn|1|If this is set to 'none', a random unit is picked randomly from an array of units with [[CrateGoodie]] set to yes.}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{fn|2|The animation is played anyway, and since you can attach a <tt>[[Damage]]</tt> to an [[animation]] as well as <tt>[[MakeInfantry]]</tt>, you can get all kinds of effects from that...}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{fn|3|Later Update: A poisonous green gas explosion deals param#4 of damage using the Gas warhead, ((The animations GasCloud1 and GasCloudD1 are broken by GEF, they must be fixed in order to work. also CLOUD1 and CLOUD1D have wrong pallete)}}
