In my Weathertop map, I have a damaged Gondor Wall that I want to stay damaged, but it keeps autorepairing itself which is annoying. I've looked in its code and all I can find relating to repairing is its commandset, which I've tried changing and creating a new one without any luck. Also tried changing something in gamedata but that froze the game.

Another thing in Weathertop is that I have made some fog using a cloudy river, however when units pass through they make splash sounds. I found all the relevant sound bits, but putting them in map.ini causes game crashes, even if it just contains the volume bit.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Open the wall.ini and change the repair time(then theirs editing the other stuff so it doesn't crash), remove or change.

About the fog I did it with the river tool 1 ft. higher than the map and doesn't make any splash sound...
And without map.ini...

Believe it or not, I have tried you know How about pointing out exactly where this repair time bit is

@Nolis - thanks, I'll try that out.

I think it's in the wall armor.ini (i think).

So where exactly is this repair bit? Anyone actually got some useful advice?

This should say it all:

Behavior = GettingBuiltBehavior ModuleTag_GettingBuilt
  SelfBuildingLoop = BuildingConstructionLoop; Only played if we DON'T spawn a worker
  SelfRepairFromDamageLoop  = NoSound		; This doesn't cause an animation, so don't bother playing a sound
  SelfRepairFromRubbleLoop  = BuildingConstructionLoop
  SpawnTimer = -1.0; Negative means no 'autoheal'
End

As you can read, the spawn timer must be negative, or it autoheals. This is taken straight from the Object 'RohanCastleBend', which obviously doesn't autoheal.

[m@tt]

already seen that in the gondor wall code:

	Behavior = GettingBuiltBehavior ModuleTag_GettingBuilt
		SelfBuildingLoop = BuildingConstructionLoop; Only played if we DON'T spawn a worker
		SelfRepairFromDamageLoop  = NoSound	; This doesn't cause an animation, so don't bother playing a sound
		SelfRepairFromRubbleLoop  = BuildingConstructionLoop
		SpawnTimer = -1.0; Negative means no 'autoheal'
		RebuildTimeSeconds = CASTLE_WALL_REBUILD_TIME
	End

I've tried editing that rebuild time too but the game froze. Would it anything to do with what team I place it on?

SelfRepairFromDamageLoop

What if you delete this?

Bump. Can't get the damn wall to stop rebuilding... any suggestions at all?

What's the name of the object? I'll look into the ini of it once I know the object name.

[m@tt]

GondorCastleWall

[Rob38]

Hmmm... maybe you can make the damaged model be the default model for the object. Than you just make the health be an ImmortalBody Module like the hordes have. That should give you what you want I think

Not on a BFME 1 map where castles are the starting base types If the player was Gondor then they'd always start out with damaged castles. Is there no way to just remove the autorepair thing?

Can't you just take some object that isn't used on the map and give it all the properties of the gondor wall? Than you just place that object in WB and it will show up as a damaged gondor wall in-game. I've done this several times with a map.ini file.
