A childobject is an extra object to that unit. It takes all the code from the original but if you add stuff to it, then it adds that code instead of the other code. Have a look at Aragorn's ini. He has a child object at the bottom of his ini
You will have to add a slave object to the unit. If you have a look at the mordor goblins ini, then you should see it at the the botttom as a child object. Copy and paste that code to your unit's ini and rename the name and whatever needs renaming. I can do it for you once you finish working the objects ini
Ok, here is what the slave module is for the unit. I have taken a barrowwight_slaved from bfme2:
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; For the neutral barrow wight lairs.
ChildObject BarrowWight_Slaved BarrowWight
KindOf = PRELOAD SCORE CAN_ATTACK ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT SELECTABLE PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCARY MONSTER CREEP
Body = ActiveBody ModuleTag_Body
MaxHealth = 250
MaxHealthDamaged = 250
End
Behavior = SlavedUpdate ModuleTag_Slave
GuardMaxRange = 250.0
GuardWanderRange = 75.0
UseSlaverAsControlForEvaObjectSightedEvents = Yes ; It's a creep
End
EvaEnemyObjectSightedEvent = BarrowWightsSighted ; Special event for goblins showing up. Helps distinguish the real enemies from random creeps
EvaEnemyObjectSightedAfterRespawnEvent = BarrowWightsSighted ; Event to run after the Goblin Lair is respawned. WARNING: This INI field only works for "SlavedUpdate.UseSlaverAsControlForEvaObjectSightedEvents = Yes" units
End
And here is the object it's tied to (slaved to):
Behavior = SpawnBehavior ModuleTag_Spawn
SpawnNumber = 1
InitialBurst = 1
SpawnTemplateName = BarrowWight_Slaved
SpawnReplaceDelay = 300000 ; ;45000
CanReclaimOrphans = Yes
End
This is what tells the unit/building what is slaved to it.
So if you wanted the unit to not respawn when it dies, then you either change:
SpawnReplaceDelay = 300000 ; ;45000
into something like 30000000000000. Or you could change:
InitialBurst = 1
the 1 into a 0.
So here is what you must add to your units behaviour section of the ini:
Behavior = SpawnBehavior ModuleTag_Spawn
SpawnNumber = 1
InitialBurst = 1 ;0
SpawnTemplateName = CompanionWarg_Slaved
SpawnReplaceDelay = 30000 ;3000000000 ; ;45000
CanReclaimOrphans = Yes
End
Change the 1/300000 to what you want
And if you want, you can make it say:
SpawnNumber = 2 ;3 ;4 ;5
Which will make him have 2 companions
When I use the semi-colons it means that is quoted out so the game won't read that
I put it there to give an example.
So that's what goes into the unit who you want the companion to have.
Now let's say your slaved unit is called "companion warg"
Add this code to the bottom of his ini:
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------
; For the neutral barrow wight lairs.
ChildObject CompanionWarg_Slaved IsengardWargPack
KindOf = PRELOAD SCORE CAN_ATTACK ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT SELECTABLE PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCARY MONSTER CREEP
Body = ActiveBody ModuleTag_Body
MaxHealth = ;change to what you want
MaxHealthDamaged = ;change to what you want
End
Behavior = SlavedUpdate ModuleTag_Slave
GuardMaxRange = 250.0
GuardWanderRange = 75.0
UseSlaverAsControlForEvaObjectSightedEvents = No ; It's a creep
End
End
