Hey guys,

 

I have been trying to add a summon to a hero and all has been going well except for a couple of things. 
The summon consists of 2 types of units: ElvenGreyHavensSpearmen and NoldorWarriors. The first type of unit works the way it is supposed to, but Noldor Warrior does not. Noldor Warriors take up command points when they are spawned and most importantly they are not going away after their time is up. Can someone please tell me how I can make this right?

        ObjectNames = ElvenGreyHavensSpearmenHorde_Summoned
        Count = 3
        FadeIn = Yes
        FadeTime = 8000
        IgnoreCommandPointLimit = Yes
        Disposition = SPAWN_AROUND
        DispositionAngle = 60    ;SpawnAround uses this as the arc between guys
        DispositionIntensity = 450 ; and this for distance from center
    End
        CreateObject
        ObjectNames = NoldorWarriorHorde_Summoned
        Count = 3
        FadeIn = Yes
        FadeTime = 7000

        Disposition = SPAWN_AROUND
        DispositionAngle = 60    ;SpawnAround uses this as the arc between guys
        DispositionIntensity = 275 ; and this for distance from center
    End
End

I am not very familiar with RotWK so I don't know these units, but it looks like you just forgot or missed to add the properties to the actual horde member object.

 

When you set CommandPoints = 0 on a Horde it just means the horde will cost 0 commandpoints to recruit. You need to set the number of CP each member of the horde takes up. For example if your horde has 10 members and you want the CP number to be 30 you set the CP of its members to 3. As for the units not disappearing it's most likely cause the member objects don't have the LifetimeUpdate module. As the commented part will tell you if you read them:

"// This one displays the timer, but the one in the unit does the work"

 

Just make a child object like so:

ChildObject NoldorWarrior_Summoned NoldorWarrior
    CommandPoints = 0

    Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_LifetimeUpdate
        MinLifetime        = DUNEDAIN_ALLIES_LIFETIME
        MaxLifetime        = DUNEDAIN_ALLIES_LIFETIME
        DeathType        = FADED
    End  
END

(note, I don't know if "NoldonWarrior" is the exact name for the member object, it is just an assumption)

 

Then you will have to replace the member object used in ChildObject NoldorWarriorHorde_Summoned (which right now probably is just the normal NoldorWarrior object) with this new ChildObject NoldorWarrior_Summoned

Jokuc, that's great! I was totally missing the word "Horde" in the unit's .ini file no matter how hard I was looking for my error. It solved both of the issues. Lesson learned! Thank you so much!
