[Shelob Riding Ringwraith]

Ok, so basically I've been experimenting with various behaviors and adding things to units that were once used for structures. Now I've discovered the perfect thing. I gave Frodo the spawnfighters module tag, and set it up so the whole fellowship spawns from Frodo, and they can't be controlled but roam close to him, attacking hordes of enemies just like in the movies. One could also set this up so that when Frodo dies, he drops the ring. Now I have not tested on whether you do gain control of all the heroes when frodo dies, but it worked when I did this with the witchking and his ringwraiths, so I don't see why it wouldn't with frodo. In any case, the heroes do level up when they kill enough, so the idea is to get them high leveled enough, let frodo die, and then have all your fellowship's powers right handy to you.

Here's the individual coded files. All one has to do is set it up to build FellowshipFrodo via the playertemplate, or whatnot.

sounds cool! maybe you should put this in the Download section on the 3rd Age site.

A new discovery?
Nope, not for me
I'll admit, I've never done this with the fellowship, but I have been using that behavior before
For the King's guards

were once used for structures

once? They use it still, don't they?

I do not know any way to get the fellowship to die if Frodo dies though, as they are just released from service..
This is seen in the creeps caves too When you destroy it, the creeps still live

edit: however, there might be a way... either in LUA, or perhaps summon something upon death (including the ring) that triggers some upgrade in the other heroes, making them die Or, just trigger a weapon upon death, but... if that was strong enough to kill the heroes, it's likely strong enough to kill any other nearby ally, if you use the ALLIES in the target thingy in the weapon

Have it do 2 Damage and a Damage Scalar 5000000% to those heroes then?

@Lauri

There´s a piece of code called something like "dieifmasterdies", it´s used for the slaved lorien archer ontop of the mallorn tree, if the tree dies, the archer dies too

[Lauri]

Probably just a BFME2 thing though Not sure, but most likely
I'm allowing that answer, seeing where this topic is

And yeah, the damage scalar could work I guess
sucks if you have an ally that uses Frodo, if his fellowship suddenly dies

Would be an interesting way to remake moria...
