[landus]

Normal i dont realy need to edit cah yet i might do that after the mod is released

[Igneox]

what kind of powers are you talking about?summon powers?special attacks?leadership bonuses?any specifics?

[Dwar the wolf]

it doesn't matter cah power or heroes as long as you understand it

[landus]

i no and anyway i can just make 1 of cah or normal and then convert it there is a tutorial to convert either way

well all you need to give a hero power -most likely- experiencelevels.ini , commandset.ini and objectcreationlist.ini for

summoning powers .. anyway i'll explain how to give glorfindel a leadership power ..cause its the easiest but once you know

you can add any power , it has the same pattern .... ok first go to aragorn.ini then copy his leadership power ,then into

glorfindel.ini paste it above AISpecialPowers ..it should be like this

; --------- LEADERSHIP -----------------------------------------------------------------	Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership		StartsActive	= No ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on.		BonusName		= GenericHeroLeadership		TriggeredBy		= Upgrade_AragornLeadership		RefreshDelay	= 2000		Range			= 200		AntiCategory	= BUFF		ObjectFilter	= GENERIC_BUFF_RECIPIENT_OBJECT_FILTER	End			Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_TheodenLeadership		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership		TriggeredBy = Upgrade_AragornLeadership	End	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_TheodenLeadershipUpdate   		SpecialPowerTemplate      = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership		UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = No		StartsPaused = Yes	End		;///////////////////	; AISpecialPowers	;///////////////////

next open experiencelevels.ini and look for Glorfindel i will this power at lvl5 or in any lvl of your choose , just like this

ExperienceLevel	GlorfindelLevel5	TargetNames				=	ElvenGlorfindel	RequiredExperience		=	GLORFINDEL_LVL5_EXP_NEEDED	ExperienceAward			=	GLORFINDEL_LVL5_EXP_AWARD 		LevelUpFx				=	FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX	;LevelUpOCL				=	OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL	Rank					=	5	AttributeModifiers		=	HeroLevelUpDamage4	Upgrades				=	Upgrade_AragornLeadership	SelectionDecal		Texture				=	decal_hero_good		Style				=	SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL		OpacityMin			=	50%			OpacityMax			=	100%		MinRadius			=	40		MaxRadius			=	200		MaxSelectedUnits	=	40	End	End

all i add is the upgrade , next to commandset.ini add the power to glorfindel command like this

CommandSet ElvenGlorfindelCommandSet	1	= Command_ToggleStance 	2 	= Command_MountHorseGlorfindel	3 	= Command_SpecialAbilityGlorfindelBladeOfPurity	4 	= Command_AragornFakeLeadershipButton	5 	= Command_SpecialAbilityGlorfindelWindRider	6 	= Command_GlorfindelStarlight	12 	= Command_CaptureBuilding	13 	= Command_AttackMove	14 	= Command_StopEnd

done tip: the numbers in command from 2 to 6 only there is NO 7 so every hero only have 5 powers

i hope this make it clear.

best regards

like what

[Fingulfin]

You have to be specific, right now you are being so vague nobody can help you...

[Dwar the wolf]

so you want to create a new power , however you must stick to the powers that in the game .. like a leadership that gives a specific units a bonus speed and range or any buff or debuff etc..

look Landus if you want new powers just play with all the powers in game or at least to have a background then you can

create your own OK.
