Object RohanPeasant

	SelectPortrait	= UPRohan_Peasant

	Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01  
		DefaultModelConditionState
		;Give it a model so it'll show up in WB
			Model			   = RUPsnt_1_SKN
			Skeleton			= RUPsnt_1_SKL
		End
	End

	Side = Rohan
	EditorSorting = UNIT
	[b]BuildVariations = RohanPeasant1 RohanPeasant3 RohanPeasant4[/b]
	KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS INFANTRY PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCORE THROWN_OBJECT SWARM_DOZER GRAB_AND_DROP DOZER 

End

And the RohanPeasant1 is an object... RohanPeasant3 is also one, and RohanPeasant4 is one...
Still, this can be used for hordes as well RohanPeasantHorde, RohanArcherHorde ect...
Still, you should put the in the buildcost and buildtime here though, if not you don't know what your paying
yes, this is from BFME1, but should work

new informations . thanx Lauri

[TroDuS]

thx tooo Do this work with heroes, either?

[Sûlherokhh]

I never tried. Would be fun if it worked. But somehow i think the REVIVE mechanics will screw it or will get screwed by it.

[Lauri]

I would belive it works, depending on what you really want that is...

You put the MaxStimulationOfType (or whatever it is) to 1 in the Main one, and keep different revies in the real heroes...
I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be as nice when your acctually reviving them though... suddenly your reviving Aragorn instead of the dead boromir

Object RohanPeasant

	EditorSorting = UNIT
	MaxStimulationOfType = 1
	[b]BuildVariations = RohanPeasant1 RohanPeasant3 RohanPeasant4[/b]
	KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS INFANTRY PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCORE THROWN_OBJECT SWARM_DOZER GRAB_AND_DROP DOZER 

End

Haven't tested it, but it could work... I think..

edit: Might have to put the revive stuff into the main one too...
As I don't know if the hero will change his pictures...

This sounds interesting. How could I change the probability of a certain unit coming out if I used this code though? Like if I want more RohanPeasant1's to come out than RohanPeasant2's.
