I want to mod the Southern Hospitality so that its buildings are level 3 from the get-go. (The counter-balance is that it won't be able to accelerate build time at all.)
I can't figure out how to grab ahold of the building and set its level: everything else in this idea is nothing to implement. Preferrably, the building would be subject to the full construction time, and not the faster redeploy duration.
UPDATE: as soon as I post this, I see player_builtobject. Of course. That's one aspect down, but does anyone know how to affect the level value?
ANOTHER UPDATE: I've learned that setting the upgrade level of the entity directly is a bad idea, but
HL-SDK's Spawn Sentry on death mod has shown me how to access a bunch of sentry attributes! What I would like to do is have a building cycle through each level's animation, as though being redeployed, but at the speed of an initial putting up: is this possible, through entity attributes alone?
