Hey, so has someone actually successfully killed a locomotor upgrade properly to reactivate it later? I know there this in the Tower Guard's code:
I don't know if this is supposed to work, but it doesn't work properly for me. The triggering upgrades however (assigned through LUA), do work. They successfully trigger commandset upgrades back and forth. Just the locomotor won't change correctly - it just upgrades or removes the locomotor completely in reverse to my intention. I found out that the first time the locomotor is supposed to be upgraded, it doesn't upgrade. After that, it upgrades every time. Therefore the conditions are switched and it looks silly because it then uses the correct locomotors in the wrong Model Condition States.
My locomotors:
LocomotorSet Locomotor = NormalMeleeUnitLocomotor Condition = SET_NORMAL Speed = LOT3A_NORMAL_GOOD_INFANTRY_UNIT_SPEED End LocomotorSet Locomotor = NormalUpgradedUnitLocomotor Condition = SET_NORMAL_UPGRADED Speed = LOT3A_NORMAL_UPGRADED_UNIT_SPEED End
My locomotor enabling:
; Start NOT upgraded - not sure if needed but EA has it too. Doesn't make any difference for me though. Result is the same
Behavior = GrantUpgradeCreate ModuleTag_09
UpgradeToGrant = Upgrade_RevertUpgrade
End
; Remove Upgrade locomotor
Behavior = LocomotorSetUpgrade ModuleTag_KillUpgradedLocomotor
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_RevertUpgrade
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_DoUpgrade
KillLocomotorUpgrade = Yes ;Removes the PlantShield locomotor. ; But at the wrong time ffs <_<
End
; This works just fine. All the time and at the correct time
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ToggleRegularCommandSet
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_RevertUpgrade
CommandSet = RohanWarriorCommandSet
End
; On Upgraded Locomotor
Behavior = LocomotorSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ActivateUpgradedLocomotor
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_DoUpgrade
RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_RevertUpgrade
End
; This works just fine as well.
Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_ToggleUpgradedCommandSet
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_DoUpgrade
CommandSet = RohanWarriorUpgradedCommandSet
End
Everything works just fine, only the locomotor behavior (turn rate, slow down rate) does not blend in because the first time the ability is clicked, it won't upgrade correctly, therefore dooming the entire locomotor switch.
Just in case, this is the LUA, but it should be straightforward:
function OnActivateUpgradeState(self) ObjectGrantUpgrade( self, "Upgrade_DoUpgrade" ) end function OnRevertUpgradeState(self) ObjectGrantUpgrade( self, "Upgrade_RevertUpgrade" ) end
^ Please note that "ObjectRemoveUpgrade" is not a valid LUA call in BFME 1.
If anyone has any helpful tips/hints, I would appreciate it. I've been trying for quite some time now. I will update once I find a solution. It might be something just as simple as having them in wrong order. At least changing the order changes the locomotor behavior. As I said, all works as intended, all upgrades. But the Locomotor fails to upgrade the first time it is triggered.
