Hi, today I have a big Spell problem. My Hero has this "Gloin-SLAM"-Ability. But I wanted to change it, it should attack everything, exclude Flying Units, but it should make more Damage on horsemen and Beasts. Also it should overturn Trolls and throw Horsemen through the Air like Word of Power.

My Problems now: I can´t attack Trolls with this Spell, or click on Trolls, after clicked the Button. And it makes no damage to everything. :( I hope you can help me.

[Tir i Helkaluin]

Perhaps there's a SpezcialObjectFilter defined in the referenced SpecialPower in SpecialPower.ini that restricts the target choice?

[TroDuS]

In BfMe2 it is able to hit Trolls with this Slam, but thx, I´ll look for the Filter in the gamedata.ini

#define GLOINSLAM_OBJECT_FILTER				ANY +HERO +INFANTRY +CAVALRY +STRUCTURE -TomBombadil -TomBombadil_Summoned -Drogoth -ElvenFortressEagle -AngmarWitchking_Mounted -BlackRiderMountedInterface -MorgomirFellBeast -KhamulFellBeast -MordorFellBeast -MordorFellBeastInterface -MordorWitchKingOnFellBeast -MordorBalrog

IN BfME 2 there isn´t any Filter :(


I deleted this Filter, but my Hero still isn´t able to attack Neutral Trolls with his Skill :(

[Tir i Helkaluin]

Of course you cant attack Neutral things, look at the RadiusDamageAffects field in the referenced weapon and you'll know why.

[TroDuS]

Do I have to write "NEUTRAL"? or +NEUTRAL?

YEAH, if I now delete the Filter in the specialpower:

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SpecialPower SpecialAbilityLindirAmior
	Enum					= SPECIAL_AT_VISIBLE_GROUNDED_OBJECT
	ReloadTime				= 60000
 ;ObjectFilter				 = GLOINSLAM_OBJECT_FILTER
End

he is able to attack Neutral Trolls, but it makes no damage :( WHY?

Edited by TroDuS, 06 May 2008 - 05:02 PM.

[Tir i Helkaluin]

To clear things up: the ObjectFilter in the SpecialPower determines the viable targets (regardless of whether the weapon really damages it), whilst the RadiusDamageAffects in the weapon as a whole and separate DamageScaler in DamageNuggets and SpecialObjectFilter in MetaImpactNuggets and AttributeModifieruggets determine who would be affected by the weapon.

So, by commenting-out the ObjectFilter, you can target the trolls. And by putting the RadiusDamageAffects be 'ENEMIES NEUTRALS', the weapon affects both enemy and neutral units.

[TroDuS]

but why it makes no damage?

[Tir i Helkaluin]

Perhaps because you're still referencing LindirAmior rather than BruchtalLindirAmior in the SpecialPowerModule?

[TroDuS]

No, this was an old mistake. I´m sorry, I made a mistake here in the forum, in my Ini it´s correct. There it has the right Name... :( It makes damage against Orcs... but not against the Neutral Troll :(
