Hi I am tring to give Gandalf a Sheild Bubble That act as a separate object/Unit
Not just as FX around him .
It is summoned to the battefield
It must be able to be entered i.e path through the FX not like a Garrison
It must be able to repel ALL ENEMY Projectiles ---This is what stumps me .
If i set it as unit I can achieve all this except the projectile
I think if i give it the correct KIND_OF and GEMETRY it will work as planned
If i set it as a STRUCTURE i cant path through it as a structure wont allow it
(or can it )

Sofar it is bassically complete except i want all Projectiles EG ROCKS
to be stopped by its GEOMETRY but still allow a person to enter/Path Through

Please Check Coding to see if it is possible (I tried everything)

not to sure why i cant edit above so

THIS is the KIND_OF 's I tried (ALL AT ONCE)

KindOf = IMMOBILE PRELOAD WALL_HUB MUMAKIL_BUFF_NUGGET BIG_MONSTER
ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT CAN_ATTACK DEPLOYED_MINE MADE_OF_STONE
HEAVY_MELEE_HITTER PRELOAD SELECTABLE INFANTRY PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCORE
NOTIFY_OF_PREATTACK ARMY_SUMMARY SCARY GANDALF
INFANTRY SCORE MINE IGNORE_FOR_VICTORY ;
NO_COLLIDE UNATTACKABLE NOT_AUTOACQUIRABLE SELECTABLE STRUCTURE


I'm trying anything to get it to stop Projectiles AND be able to walk into by Allies

I was thinking along the lines of how a MAMUKIL blocks Catapults-Rocks if you
Stand next to it or how my Fellbeasts always get hit by my own Fortress
Catapult-Rock when Flying low on the battlefield

================================================
OR Give it a BUFF Module that will allow All Allies to get 1000000% ARMOUR
so they cant take damage .
If using Buff method How to modify one ...



Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership
StartsActive = Yes ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on.
BonusName = GenericBuff_BUBBLE
RefreshDelay = 2000
Range = 200
AntiCategory = BUFF
ObjectFilter = GENERIC_BUFF_RECIPIENT_OBJECT_FILTER
End



//These are the games standard buffs (including persistent variations)

Modifier = RESIST_KNOCKBACK 100%

End

something's wrong as Heroes Still take damage when near / in shield

[JUS_SAURON]

I added it to the experience level files and got the
FX attributed to it to work but the units still take damage
it is still a bit buggy but I saw a rockcatapult do not damage
to an intilier ranger horde so there is HOPE ...
ANY SUGGESTIONS ....

You are forgetting that Att. Mods are Special Powers.

Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership
StartsActive = Yes ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on.
BonusName = GenericBuff_BUBBLE
RefreshDelay = 2000
Range = 200
AntiCategory = BUFF
ObjectFilter = GENERIC_BUFF_RECIPIENT_OBJECT_FILTER
End

Every 2000 MS the Att. Mod is RECREATED with its full lifespan. If you look at most leaderships, they probably have a duration of 2500-3000 MS. Why so short? Because every 2 seconds, the modifier is reapplied! Also note that after a hero dies, his leadership mod stays on the units for half a second to a second... Its because the modifier has stopped being re-applied, however the original duration of the last applied mod still has to run down.

Sorry to bump an old topic but I was searching for something related to gandalf bubble and was intrigued by this. Did you ever achieve this as a power JUS? If so I would love to know how or get a copy of your files (totally for personal use never intended to release any modding I do). I'd love to add this ability to Saruman

Thanks I will take a look. I figured that Saruman would have similar abilities to Gandalf so to make the Isengard heroes a little more balanced with Gondor's I will try and make Saruman a bit stronger
