Hello there,

 

I have a question to you: I've been trying to add to Gandalf two  the same abilities (more precisely: Shield Bubble) but:

1. One as autoability (code below), which should be not in Palantir 

   	Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleEnabler ;;,;;
   		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
   		TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ObjectLevel1 ;,; Upgrade_ObjectLevel3 ;Upgrade_GandalfWhite
   	End
   
   	;Behavior = AutoAbilityBehavior ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleAutoAbilityBehavior
   	;End
   	
   	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleStarter ;;,;;                  
   		SpecialPowerTemplate      = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
   		UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = No
   		StartsPaused          = No ;,; Yes
   		AttributeModifier    = GandalfShieldBubbleBonus
   		AttributeModifierAffectsSelf = Yes
   		SetModelCondition    = ModelConditionState:USER_3
   		SetModelConditionTime   = 20 ;5 ;,; 4 ;,; 2.5; in seconds
   		InitiateSound = GenericSpell ;,;
   	End
   	
   	Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleUpdate ;,;                    
           SpecialPowerTemplate      = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
       End

2. Second as click-button (code below), which is displayed in Palantir.

Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_NaryasBearerEnabler
		SpecialPowerTemplate 			= SpecialPowerNaryasBearer ;SpecialPowerShieldBubble
		TriggeredBy 					= Upgrade_NaryasBearer
	End

	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_NaryasBearerStarter					  
		SpecialPowerTemplate	  		= SpecialPowerNaryasBearer ;SpecialPowerShieldBubble
		StartsPaused		  			= Yes
		UpdateModuleStartsAttack  		= Yes
		AttributeModifier		  		= GandalfShieldBubbleBonus
		AttributeModifierAffectsSelf 	= Yes
		SetModelCondition		  		= ModelConditionState:USER_4
		SetModelConditionTime	  		= 10; in seconds
	End

	Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_NaryasBearerUpdate					  
		SpecialPowerTemplate	  		= SpecialPowerNaryasBearer ;SpecialPowerShieldBubble
		;UnpackTime			 			= 1	
		;PreparationTime		 			= 1
	End

As you can see I have changed names, but unfortunately it hasn't worked. Game treats it as one code and my Shield bubble in Palantir is an autoability.

 

Codes in SpecialPowers.ini look the same, I have just changed the name of it for second code to: SpecialPowerNaryasBearer EDIT: and commandbutton.ini I have also changed only name to: Command_NaryasBearer for second code (autoability = no).

 

My point is to get one autoability, which will be weaker and shorter, second one as click-button ability, which will be stronger, longer and have much higher cooldown time, I will also add some leadership bonuses to this ability, which will be passive.

 

Is there any way to split it and get two separate abilities or game will always treats it as one?

Specialpower.ini

SpecialPower SpecialPowerShieldBubble ;for autoability
  Enum              = SPECIAL_SHIELD_BUBBLE
  ReloadTime        = 60000 ;;,;; 30000
  InitiateSound     = GenericSpell ;,; 
End

SpecialPower SpecialPowerNaryasBearer ;for click-button ability
  Enum              = SPECIAL_SHIELD_BUBBLE
  ReloadTime        = 60000 ;;,;; 30000
  InitiateSound     = GenericSpell ;,; 
End

I haven't changed ReloadTime yet, because I am testing this if can make it works.

 

commandbutton.ini

CommandButton Command_ShieldBubble ;for autoability
  Command                    = SPECIAL_POWER 
  SpecialPower                = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
  TextLabel                    = CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbilityShieldBubble
  ButtonImage                = Gandolf_sphere
  ButtonBorderType            = ACTION 
  DescriptLabel                = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbilityShieldbubble
  InPalantir                = Yes
  AutoAbility                = Yes
End

CommandButton Command_NaryasBearer ;for click-button ability
	Command                    		= SPECIAL_POWER 
	SpecialPower                	= SpecialPowerNaryasBearer
	TextLabel                    	= CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbilityShieldBubble
	ButtonImage                		= Gandolf_sphere
	ButtonBorderType            	= ACTION 
	DescriptLabel                	= CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbilityShieldbubble
	InPalantir                		= Yes
	AutoAbility                		= No
End

Did you define "Upgrade_NaryasBearer" in upgrade.ini?
Did you add "Command_NaryasBearer" to gandalfcommandset in commandset.ini?

Hi King Arveleg,

Yes, I defined it:

 

Upgrade.ini

Upgrade Upgrade_NaryasBearer
	Type			= OBJECT
End

And I added it to experiencelevels.ini 

ExperienceLevel	GandalfLevel3
	TargetNames						=	GANDALF
	RequiredExperience				=	GANDALF_LVL3_EXP_NEEDED
	ExperienceAward					=	GANDALF_LVL3_EXP_AWARD 
	 AttributeModifiers				=	HeroLevelUpDamage2
	Rank							=	3
	Upgrades						= Upgrade_ObjectLevel3 Upgrade_NaryasBearer
	LevelUpFx						=	FX:GoodLevelUpFX
	SelectionDecal
		Texture						=	decal_hero_good
		Style						=	SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
		OpacityMin					=	50%
		OpacityMax					=	100%
		MinRadius					=	40
		MaxRadius					=	200	
		MaxSelectedUnits			=	40
	End	

commandset.ini

CommandSet GondorGandalfCommandSet
	1	= Command_NaryasBearer ;Command_ToggleStance
	2  	= Command_SpecialAbilityWizardBlast
	3  	= Command_GondorGandalfLightningSword
	4  	= Command_GandalfShadowfax
	5  	= Command_GondorGandalfIstariLight
	6  	= Command_SpecialAbilityWordOfPower
	7	= Command_ShieldBubble
	12 	= Command_CaptureBuilding
	13 	= Command_AttackMove
	14 	= Command_Stop
	16  = Command_SetStanceBattle
	17  = Command_SetStanceAggressive
	18  = Command_SetStanceHoldGround
End

I'm not absolutely sure, but try this:

CommandButton Command_ShieldBubble ;for autoability
Command = SPECIAL_POWER
SpecialPower = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbilityShieldBubble
ButtonImage = Gandolf_sphere
ButtonBorderType = ACTION
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbilityShieldbubble
InPalantir = No
AutoAbility = Yes
Radial = No
End

CommandButton Command_NaryasBearer ;for click-button ability
Command = SPECIAL_POWER
SpecialPower = SpecialPowerNaryasBearer
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbilityShieldBubble
ButtonImage = Gandolf_sphere
ButtonBorderType = ACTION
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbilityShieldbubble
InPalantir = Yes
AutoAbility = No
Radial = Yes
End

Unfortunately it didn't work, but something interesting happened.

xD I don't even know what to say It looks like some kind of button appeared on Gandalf

[JUS_SAURON]

Which one works ?

maybe try a different approach with  the one that does not work 

a different Enum may be a start ,

or trying to give Gandalf an ability similar to Aragorn blade master , but with no weapon change , only an attribute change , hooked up with a model addition for the bubble , for the manual click button one 

 

the button appeared on Gandalf , as the InRadial = yes , gives any object  the button on them , used for a structure
