I'm trying to add Gandalfs lightning sword to the CAH powers

i have edited the following files:

Commandset.ini
Commandbutton.ini
CAH special powers and upgrades
but i'm stuck as what to put in the CAHgamedata file

thanx for the help

[Ridder Geel]

...You should not have to put anything in the cah gamedata file... Unless i misunderstood what file you meant

[Hocaska]

so what is this about

Token 'SPECIAL_GONDOR_GANDALF_LIGHTNING_SWORD' is not a
valid member of the index list

Errorparsing field 'Enum' in block 'SpecialPower' in file
'Data\INI\CreateAHeroSpecialPowers.ini', line 70.


Error parsing INI block ' Enum' in file
'Data\INI\ SpecialPowers.ini'.

[Ridder Geel]

...How is that possible... Does Gandalf's special power thing use that ENUM?
The enum should be...
SPECIAL_ARROW_STORM
Or something like that...

[Hocaska]

its not crashing anymore thats sorted but the text is wrong and the you can click it before you hit the right lvl but nothing happens not radius or anything

[Ridder Geel]

What does the commandbutton look like?

[Hocaska]

exactly like gandalfs lightning sword

[Ridder Geel]

Then how the heck did you try to make the CAH purchase the power??

[Hocaska]

This is all the work ive done.

CAH gamedata
#define CREATE_A_HERO_LIGHTNING_SWORD_RANGE 750
#define CREATE_A_HERO_LIGHTNING_SWORD_START_RANGE 190

CAH special powers
SpecialPower SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroLightningSword
Enum = SPECIAL_ARROW_STORM
ReloadTime = 240000 ; in milliseconds
RadiusCursorRadius = 120.0
ViewObjectDuration = 5000
ViewObjectRange = 120
End

CAH upgrades
Upgrade Upgrade_CreateAHeroLightningSword
Type = OBJECT
End

Commandbutton.ini
CommandButton Command_CreateAHero_SpecialAbilityLightningSword
Command = SPECIAL_POWER
SpecialPower = SpecialAbilityLightningSword
Options = NEED_TARGET_POS CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:CAH_LightningSword
ButtonImage = HSGandalfLightningSword
RadiusCursorType = LightningSwordRadiusCursor
ButtonBorderType = ACTION
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipLightningSword
AutoAbility = No
InPalantir = Yes
CreateAHeroUIAllowableUpgrades = Upgrade_CreateAHero_ClassHeroOfTheWest
CreateAHeroUIMinimumLevel = 2
CreateAHeroUICostIfSelected = CAH_LIGHTNINGSWORD_COST
End

gamedata.ini (CAH ability cost)
#define CAH_LIGHTNINGSWORD_COST 250

and i just realised i might have to add bits in the data\ini\object\CAH\.... files depending on the relevent ones. (bumma)

[Ridder Geel]

You do know that you cant define stuff in the gamedata.ini?
Unless u made a gamedata.ini in the object folder...

[Hocaska]

Ridder been a long time since i have been here just got back into LOTR and have come across this i remember everthing i was trying to do but i can't fix this problem :
