It looks like ExtractBuildMeshBlueprint is applying BuildSpecular for when a unit is being constructed at a factory. This could indicate a way to create your own custom blueprints during the game load-up. Then later be able to reference them and call them up as needed.
Further up Blueprint.lua check out the following function:
function ExtractAllMeshBlueprints()
for id,bp in original_blueprints.Unit do
ExtractMeshBlueprint(bp)
ExtractWreckageBlueprint(bp)
ExtractBuildMeshBlueprint(bp)
end
for id,bp in original_blueprints.Prop do
ExtractMeshBlueprint(bp)
ExtractWreckageBlueprint(bp)
end
for id,bp in original_blueprints.Projectile do
ExtractMeshBlueprint(bp)
end
end
This appears to kick off each of the Mesh build-ups in sequence. Could simply create your own function via /hook then reference it here towards the end of the file. Far as I can tell, doing so wouldn't change the game or how it behaves as your just adding in your own Mesh variants that are being saved as a global.
Please note: I pulled the above snippets from vanilla FA as not all files are always represented in the FAF Client. In this case, I've confirmed that FAF client does not have a Blueprint.lua as it's using the original vanilla version.
