I've just sent my computer for servicing. Hopefully i can get it back within 3 days and continue modding since i've only 2 weeks left before going to my new school.

Anyway, i have two question which i intend to ask first.

1. i was intending to make Aragorn toggling between bow and arrow(a lot of them have been working on that but i wish to try it out myself as a practise for modelling). i was thinking that he will automatically toggle to bow, in sword mode, when the enemies is within a certain range and fire arrow. When the enemy is close enough he will toggle back to sword automatically again and attack using sword. he can still uses the bow instead of sword if the player chooses to. Is there a code to do that? if there isn't maybe we can use a timer so that he will toggle back to sword after a few seconds.

2.Second question. Is it possible to be able to use one ability twice? Either uses it twice before it reload or two buttons for the same ability.

That's all for the time being. i still have plenty of question but will wait till i'm really stuck when working o them before posting here. thanks

I don't think 1 is possible since he will try to use his bow all the time. It might be possible if you give his bow a minimum range but he might just try and move so that an enemy is within range rather than switch to his sword.
2 should be possible since in Generals you could have several spy abilities from the Radar Van stack up and use several in one go before it started to reload. I'm not sure if this ability has been carried forward to BFME and i'm not entirely sure how it's done. If I get some time i'll look into it.

*Edit* I can't seem to find any reason why it stacks other than each van produces it's own superweapon so i'm not entirely sure if it can be worked in BFME.

1. Look at the code for rangers. They do that.
2. I don't know how, but you probably can.
