Command & Conquer Generals - Promotion Points Modding Overview

As requested.

Brief overview of how Promotion Points link through the files including button functionality and units. It's impossible to make a video on how to make a new power/rank unless I know what the end goal is. There are so many links and variations the video would be a complete mess. This should be enough for you to track down existing powers to copy from. There's also the comments section.

There are 3 diagrams for quick reference if you don't want to watch the video:
- 18:06 (unlock - power, spy drone)
-- 18:12 (trigger)
- 21:17 (unlock - unit)

Timestamps:
00:00 - 07:16
-- General info

07:16 - 21:20
-- Fundamentals
-- This section unlocks the spy drone, which applies to every power which spawns ab object or effect

18:19 - 21:20
-- Unlocking units like the Paladin tank, so they can only be built when this power is unlocked

21:20 - 25:15
-- Tiered promotion points (1, 2, 3) like paradrop or emergency repair

25:15 - End
-- Unlocking powers by default for a given general
