Hi,

At the moment I have a balrog with 10 level and he starts of with level 1, but he gains all of his skills right away.

I told the experiencelevels.ini that the balrog gains a new skill, after he gains a certain level, however the skills are already enabled right from level 1.

So in short, i want the Balrog to earn his specials powers (skill) as he level up.

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,
Nahlea

You have to make upgrades in the upgrade.ini for his powers(skills).

I have made the upgrade, but the result is the same, which means all the powers of the balrog are avaible from the start.

Then add it to the Experience Levels.

Then add it to the Experience Levels.

Did that as well and still no good result :(
I might be doing something wrong (without a doubt:P)

Let me show you what i got so far:

That your problem you have to add that to the powers behaviors. Sorry that i didn't mention that i thought you would have done that already.

You shouldn't be sorry for things you didn't knew

I am glad you tried to help me, which is a sign of character, so thanks anyway.

[Spartan184]

Your Welcomed.

CODE

Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_b1
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityBalrogBreath
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_MouthOfSauronDissent
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_b2
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityBalrogBreath
StartsPaused = Yes
UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes
InitiateSound = BalrogSpecialPowerRoar
