[Ridder Geel]

It should be in there i suggest looking in the defaultmodelconditionstate or something like that

[Black Dragon]

Thanks I got it working although had problems putting the effect in the right part of the ini - Its now working fine. Although if anyone has tips for creativity purposes on making a troll look like its a ghost or any tips on changing the texture to something less troll like.

Basically I've decided to try and give each faction in RJ a unique ring hero, my brother suggested giving Angmar a great troll. So I figured I would try and add a troll that was large and would have a blue mist coming from it. Perhaps considering it either King of the Trolls or a troll spirit or something.

[Black Dragon]

Ignore my request above, I decided to add a standard snow troll with the blue mist about him as the Snow Troll King (creative I know ) however he is working fine except when he dies. His body lingers on the map and sometimes chases those that killed them as if he was alive. I've no idea why he is being difficult I was doing well up until I added the respawn values...but they are a copy of Rogash. This is his code

The troll hero has exp levels in exp.ini ?
He has the correct re-spawn module not Active body module ?
Not sure if the porcupine one should be there

Edited by JUS_SAURON, 28 September 2009 - 11:27 PM.

[Black Dragon]

Sorry I'd not know the difference between the latter. The troll works fine up until he dies then he runs about so yeah his experience levels are same as the Witch King. Its only when he dies he just runs on the spot.

I posted my code above I think I did everything right but obviously i've overlooked something

Ive not seen the porcupineformation on a HERO before , I'm searching BFME2 Files tho ...
That may be hampering the codes as it contains MaxHEATH =
Which may conflict with the other Respawn body codes

so comment ;;; the porcupine ones and Test

He works fine meaning he can level up and have an EXP RING GLOW thingy when selected ??

[Black Dragon]

The formation code was accidentally left in as I used snowtroll.ini as a template for this hero. I commented out as you advised and he dies normal now so thanks you yet again.

What do you mean by the EXP RING GLOW? I always test on low graphics so not sure if thats what I am missing. He does level up yes and gains his abilities accordingly.

You don't know the name of the nazguls that were once included in this game? They were a horde of about 6 nazgul that moved together with a black glow coming from them. If you know what I mean do you also know where I can find the ini that controls these units?

EDIT: I think I found what I was looking for "MordorBlackRiderHorde" including in the mordorhordes.ini - I tried adding these as a buildable hero the icon shows up in the fortress however when build nothing appears. Does anyone know how to add in these black riders as a hero unit?

When you select a unit or a horde , the circle Decal thing that is also selected
It looks red / Blue etc ....
I call it the Experience Ring Glow Thingy
as a unit gets it once it has exp codes

You are playing ROTWK right , A mod of this which has a Blackrider Horde ...
In bfme2 there were Blackrider heroes in Mordor
I suggest you play the unmodified game and see which ones you want
as you will have both BFME2 and ROTWK
Ive not seen a Blackrider Horde tho ..they were always single Heroes

[Black Dragon]

Yes he has that

-The Black Rider horde was added in Rise of the Witch King, the units would build and roam around as a group of 5-6 with black fog coming off them. It may have been a patch which added this feature but it was definitely added. I will look into this to restore these units (I have a cool idea for them)

-I have another question, could anyone tell me what these values do? I searched the forums but its so hard to find relevant information:

CrushableLevel = 2 ;What am I?: 0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = general vehicles
CrusherLevel = 2
CrushWeapon = RogashCrush

MinCrushVelocityPercent = 100% ; Has to be moving at at least % of full speed.
CrushDecelerationPercent = 100% ; Lose percent of max velocity when crushing.
;
CrushKnockback = 40;
CrushZFactor = 1.0;

I made a new troll hero and its crushing things too easily I would like to tone down the damage. Would the damage be controlled by RogashCrush in the weapon.ini?

[Black Dragon]

Figured out the crush

[Black Dragon]

I'm sorry I need some help again. I am trying to add a new ability to Treebeard so that he roars and units around him either STUN (like the Horn of Gondor) or flee (like the Nazgul Screech).

The command button/set are established the icon appears in-game and does activate with the sfx I want. At present (with the code I will post) its set as the Nazgul screech but with the FX of Boromir's horn. So to avoid confusion its screech with a different effect. The ability seems to activiate fine, everything from the sfx to the visual FX plays but there doesn't appear to be any effect for using this ability. Here are my codes:

UNIT.INI

; Fury ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_EntFuryUnpause
		SpecialPowerTemplate				= SpecialAbilityScreech;SpecialAbilityEntRoar;SpecialAbilityScreech
		TriggeredBy					= Upgrade_ObjectLevel10
		ObeyRechageOnTrigger				= Yes
	End
	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_EntFuryStart
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityScreech;SpecialAbilityEntRoar;SpecialAbilityScreech
		UpdateModuleStartsAttack	= Yes
		TriggerFX			= FX_BoromirHorn;FX_FearBlast
		StartsPaused			= No
	End

	Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_EntFuryUpdate  
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityScreech;SpecialAbilityEntRoar;SpecialAbilityScreech
		AwardXPForTriggering		= 0		
		TriggerSound				= SpellEntsSummonRoar
		EffectRange				= 200
		
		UnpackTime				= 1000
		PreparationTime				= 1
		PackTime				= 7000
	End

;Behavior = SquishCollide ModuleTag_Squish
;End

COMMANDBUTTON.INI

CommandButton Command_SpecialAbilityEntRoar;added by shawn
  Command				 = SPECIAL_POWER 
  SpecialPower			= SpecialAbilityScreech;SpecialAbilityEntRoar;SpecialAbilityScreech
  TextLabel			   = CONTROLBAR:Screech
  ButtonImage			 = HITreebeard;HSNazgulScreech
  ButtonBorderType		= ACTION 
  DescriptLabel		   = CONTROLBAR:TooltipScreechWitchKing
  InPalantir			  = Yes
  AutoAbility			  = Yes
  PresetRange			  = 150
End

Please can someone help me out here? I don't get what I've done wrong

[Ridder Geel]

StartsPaused			= No

should be...

StartsPaused			= Yes

I think

[Black Dragon]

I think those functions determine whether the ability is available at the start. However I tried changing that just and it doesn't seem to have had any effect. Also whats strange is that I gave Treebeard the same abilities as Sauron (Terrible Fury) with the correct button and coding inside the unit ini yet that still doesn't seem to work. The sfx/vfx again plays fine but the units themselves don't flee or freeze (depending on the variants I tried)

I'm confused

[Ridder Geel]

Maybe just recreate the ENTIRE POWER

[Black Dragon]

I pretty much did by giving him Saurons Terrible Fury I think It was like he was just given the same power as him. Would animations cause a power not to work perhaps? I am modding my RJ installation still so I am wondering if I require a specific anim? Although he does "bend down" when the ability plays (no doubt tied into his primary rock throw attack). Failing this I will try and add Aragorns Elendil ability instead

[Ridder Geel]

Usually the scare stuff are triggered via LUA's give your hero the same lua script (AIUpdate module or something like that) as Sauron or the other hero

[JUS_SAURON]

you will have to RE-do the Screech power i.e make your own ...

I have done this with a unit of mine before :

This is my patented Ring -Wraith Stare Weapon

It uses a weapon Template that is button activated
It then fires a weapon with a Terror /Fear module

CODE

;;; FIRE BALL SPECIAL POWER ;;;


Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_FireballStarter
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilitySarumanFireball_TOWER
UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes
StartsPaused = No
;InitiateSound = SauronVoiceMoveMS
End

Behavior = WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_FireballUpdate
SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilitySarumanFireball_TOWER
;WhichSpecialWeapon = 1
SkipContinue = Yes

UnpackTime = 800
PreparationTime = 1
PersistentPrepTime = 1000
PackTime = 100

AwardXPForTriggering = 0

StartAbilityRange = RING_WRAITH_DEATH_STARE_RANGE
MustFinishAbility = Yes
SpecialWeapon = RingWraith_Death_Stare
End

Behavior = AutoAbilityBehavior ModuleTag_FirBallAutoAbility
SpecialAbility = SpecialAbilitySarumanFireball_TOWER
MaxScanRange = #SUBTRACT( RING_WRAITH_DEATH_STARE_RANGE 25 )
Query = 1 ALL ENEMIES -STRUCTURE NOT_CREEP -NeutralGollum -NeutralGollum_RingHero -NeutralGollum_RingStealer
End

Thanks for the help, just to clarify your ability you posted JUS "fires" a weapon (a projectile) that causes the fear effect. Would this work if I just wanted to click a button that initiated the fear effect itself? So instead of firing a projectile upon clicking the button it would initiate? Or is your way of doing it a workaround?

Out of curiosity why must the screen ability be re-done? I did initially make my own screech that included:
1) Its own commandbutton.ini section
2) Power section within the unit.ini

Thanks again

No projectile here
Works EXACTLY like Nazguls Screech
You click the button and units run away ,the button is auto-active too
Why Sauron's Screen won't work - what Ridder Said plus this way is easier ( for me )


FYI : A Projectile Type weapon has Projectilewarhead etc in it ...not this one
