Same, the witch king and his fell beast should be 2 seperate objects as far as i know (for some wierd reason they are un joined)
So the skeletons for each should be connected to there own skn... I think

Yes u forgot bout that...they need to be 2 different objects... Yes it is possible to make one and then the mounted in a child objects but they can't be in the same object

[NDC]

Yes, they do so! Everyone is connected to the appropriate skeleton.
And for some unknown reason this way of labeling the "MOUNTED" tag acts better. I think that it is due to probable impossibility of using two different labels in Locomotors (that would be so if Fell-Beasted form was labeled as "MOUNTED").

So, could someone tell me, please, how is it possible to make Witch-King animated and to turn Fell-Beast from some kind of "real estate" to flying object?

what do u mean by: "real estate"

[Gfire]

I think he means an object on the ground.

[modboy451]

I think he means an object on the ground.

ah.... you would probably have to change the locomoter and animations for on the ground also....or use the summoned dragons skl and animations...that would require modeling!

[NDC]

Thank you for your replies!
Hah, that was a joke - Flying Witch-King stays at the place like an object of real estate (like building and so on).
Nope, all Locomotors are setted correctly. Are there any other parameters that influence speed of moving (I mean, excepting Locomotors)?
I think, it would be rather good, if this coding experiment will finish successfully! It would be possible to introduce Nazguls able to mount and to dismount and there will be an alternative way of toggling between on-foot and flying forms, but I really need just a little help to deal with these coding issues.

Yeah perhaps IMMOBILE in the KindOf.

[NDC]

I looked through the code, but it seems that Witch-King is "MOBILE", because there is no IMMOBILE in KindOf parameter.

[modboy451]

I like your sig Gfire!

Another question I would like to ask is weither it is possible to set different height levels for on-foot and flying Witch-King forms or not? And if yes, what is the relevant approach to this issue?
Thanks in advance!

[NDC]

Allright, I found the reason why all animation of on-foot form of Witch-King disappeared - the solution was to put all MOUNTED animations (they describe movements for on-foot form) before the "flying" animations, and I have found rather easy solution for scale problem.
However, I still need some advice concerning the problem that flying Witch-King does not move at all.
I saw child objects for mounted formes of heroes is the creation of such objects a compulsory thing?
I really appreciate all your hints.
Thanks in advice!

One more thing I would like to ask: how is it possible to put some conditions in Behaviors like RespawnUpdate or GiantBirdAI?

[modboy451]

One more thing I would like to ask: how is it possible to put some conditions in Behaviors like RespawnUpdate or GiantBirdAI?

that is done with scripts.xml, lua and scriptevents in data1.big

[NDC]

Oh! Thank you, Modboy451! Could you give me some more information about that scripts and all the rest? Or is there any article to learn about this things?

[modboy451]

I THNIk it's done with those things...you have to give me more detail on what you mean...

Well, I need to apply some Behaviors of Witch-King to his flying form, and some - to the on-foot version: for example there are two different Behaviors for death animations, GiantBirdAI Behavior should be applied only to flying form and soon

i don't exactly know what you mean...are you saying refering to the dying animations when he dies he sets on fire after he gets hit with a fire attack that kills him???

[NDC]

Yes, that is exactly the thing I talked about!
Is it possible to use both types?

[modboy451]

by both types do you mean using it his normal dying animation and the animation for if he gets set on fire???

(sorry for asking questions, you only gave me vague details and im try to figure out EXACTLY what to look for so i can help you efficiently...)
can you explain EXACTLY what you are trying to do??
EX:
i want to him to be set on fire even if he is not killed by a fire arrow
OR
i WANT him to be set on fire when he is killed by a fire arrow??

( i noticed in BMFE 1 he doesn't have a fire animaiton)

and i do think if i remember what Lauri or somebody said that using BFME 2 models and animations in BFME1 so... if you want him to die with a animation like in bfme2 i will have to look into that for you
