You have to copy the Balrog code from neautralunits and make a new file for it. Then, change the object's name. Next, change this code...

#include "..\includes\StandardUnitEvaEvents.inc"

to this...

#include "..\..\..\includes\StandardUnitEvaEvents.inc"

and delete this

Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_LifetimeUpdate
		MinLifetime		= BALROG_LIFETIME
		MaxLifetime		= BALROG_LIFETIME
		DeathType		= FADED
	End

Add a buildcost and time under ENGINIEERING PARAMETERS. Last, of course, add your new balrog to the team in playertemplate.ini. That's about it.

[witchking]

ahh so the objeect name of my new balrog would be mordor balrog so i put that?

thanks

[witchking]

lol one problem i tryed it and the balrog is not there in the mordor fort theres no button!

[witchking]

oh i know what the problem is but i need help when you create the new file for the balrog what do you name it?
data/ini/units/Mordor/Balrog?

[Eldarion25]

It doesn't matter about the path, as long as you know where to find it and it's in Evilfaction ini's. At the top of your Balrog code, where it used to say MordorBalrog, you need to change it to WhateverBalrog, like WildBalrog, or AngmarBalrog, just not MordorBalrog, because that's the name of the original. Do that IN your Balrog code and then put the new one in your playertemplate.

ok i'll do that and i'll post here if there are any errors

ok now there was no errors
but now 8i try to buy him and he is not on the fort itheres no button
image to buy him!

[Eldarion25]

Did you give him the buildcost and buildtime? Also, did you forget to add him to your faction's buildable heroes in playertemplate.ini? That might be it.

[witchking]

yes i gave him a buld time and buld cost
and i have put him on the playertemplate.ini
with the template i erased the mouth of saroun and in that spot i put
the balrog
( for player template and the file that i named the balrog i named him agmarbalrog)

[Eldarion25]

1. Make sure they are spelled the same.
2. Edit the commandset of the Mordor Fortress and add an extra hero recruit slot.
3. Why'd you kill MOS ???

[witchking]

don't worry i'l ladd him again but how do you add the balrog to the fort command set?

[Eldarion25]

Edit the Mordor Fortress commandset and just add an extra hero slot, not the Balrog itself.

[witchking]

yeah i am have a hard time with that when i add it i only see hero revives not recrites

[Eldarion25]

They do the same thing

[witchking]

thay do?
yippe! thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

dangit now theres only two nazgul the witchking and the mouth of saroun

dangit the balrog is still not there

[Eldarion25]

Just delete the new Balrog and redo it, then. I had to do that once. You must have messed up some random code. That's all I've got left. Mine worked fine, but it was for Goblins instead. If you lost some normal heroes on the buildable hero list, get rid of the extra build. If it comes to this, I'll copy my Balrog hero code, but you'll have to add some things to lotr.str.

You have to make a commandbutton for the Balrog in the Mordor Fortress, and there you go. You just forgot to make a command button for it.
