and to make a child object recruitable, is it the normal thing? [playertemplates---->buildableheroesmp]

[ReallyFat]

this is what i did and it doesnt work

ChildObject GothmogBalrog
DisplayName      = OBJECT:GBalrog //found in Lotr.str

        WeaponSet
                Conditions = None
                Weapon = PRIMARY        SauronMace //Weapons found in weapon.ini
                Weapon = SECONDARY      MordorBalrogWhip
                Weapon = TERTIARY       MordorBalrogSwordChop
                
                AutoChooseSources = SECONDARY None
                OnlyAgainst = TERTIARY STRUCTURE BIG_MONSTER
        End

LocomotorSet
    Locomotor     = BalrogLocomotor
    Condition     = SET_NORMAL
    Speed         = 100
  End

  Scale = 2.0 //Normal size
        
  Body            = ActiveBody ModuleTag_02
    MaxHealth         = 100000           //macro's found in gamedata.ini
  End

Well then whats the error?
Oh and you need to change:

ChildObject GothmogBalrog

to

ChildObject GothmogBalrog MordorBalrog

And you seem to be missing an End at the end of the entire piece of code, unless you forgot to show it in your post

[ReallyFat]

thx thx works now. but hes level 0 for some reason

[Ridder Geel]

Add him to the same experiencelevel (inexperiencelevels.ini) as the balrog

[ReallyFat]

kk dude one other thing. i want faramir to be able to summon eagles, replacing the summon rngers his 4th power. how do i do that

[Ridder Geel]

find the ocl from his summon power in the objectcreationlist.ini (check in the power for the name) and then look at the "object" that the ocl creates, and change it to the name of the eagle unit. This is the simplest way of doing this, meaning that if for some reason another hero uses the same ocl it will also summon eagles
To prevent that from happening copy the original code from the ocl, rename it and change the object to the eagle. Let me know if you need to see some code for this... (I would however advise you attempt to do this by yourself first, you learn much more that way)

[ReallyFat]

i definitely need a code id did this

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------	
// Hero of the West Summon Allies Level 4
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------	
Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWSummonAllies_Level4
	SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWSummonAllies_Level4
	TriggeredBy			 = Upgrade_CreateAHeroHotWSummonAllies_Level4
End

Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_OCLEagles
	SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWSummonAllies_Level4
	OCL						= OCL_Eagles
	TriggerFX				= FX_DunedainSummon
	CreateLocation			= CREATE_AT_LOCATION
	StartsPaused			= Yes
	SetModelCondition		= ModelConditionState:USER_1
	SetModelConditionTime	= 8.1
End

[Ridder Geel]

What does the OCL look like?

[ReallyFat]

and does anyone know how to lower eagles fellbeasts drogoth cetra? to make them closer to the ground

[Elric]

it has something to do with there geometry i believe in there respective inis

[ReallyFat]

dont worry ridder the only problem now is lowering objects

[ReallyFat]

i have even MORE issues
im making ancalagon the black but now when i start the game then it says 'unknown block 'weaponset' in drogoth .ini i tried adding an extra end but it just screwed things up more cause then it said unknown block 'end'

ChildObject Ancalagon Drogoth

Scale = 4.0

LocomotorSet
		Locomotor = FellBeastLocomotor
		Condition = SET_NORMAL 
		Speed     = 475  ;88
	End
	LocomotorSet
		Locomotor = FellBeastLocomotor
		Condition = SET_SUPERSONIC 
		Speed     = 750 ;114
	End
	LocomotorSet
		Locomotor = FellBeastLocomotor
		Condition = SET_WANDER 
		Speed     = 390
	End
	LocomotorSet
		Locomotor = FellBeastSwoopLocomotor
		Condition = SET_PANIC
		Speed     = 800
	End

DisplayName			= OBJECT:Ancalagon
	RecruitText			= CONTROLBAR:AncalagonRecruit
	ReviveText			= CONTROLBAR:AncalagonRevive
	Hotkey				= CONTROLBAR:AncalagonHotkey

End


WeaponSet
	
		; Primary is for special powers.
	
		Weapon				= SECONDARY		AncalagonFlame
		PreferredAgainst	= SECONDARY		STRUCTURE MACHINE HORDE INFANTRY CAVALRY

		Weapon				= TERTIARY		NazgulClawAttack
		OnlyAgainst			= TERTIARY		MONSTER

		ReadyStatusSharedWithinSet = Yes
	End
END

Geometry			= CYLINDER
	GeometryMinorRadius = 39.0
	GeometryMajorRadius = 39.0
	GeometryHeight		= 40.0
	GeometryOffset		= X:0 Y:0 Z:-20
	GeometryIsSmall		= No
	Shadow				= SHADOW_VOLUME_NON_SELF_3; volumetric shadow that doesn't cast onto all objects using SHADOW_VOLUME_NON_SELF_3
	ShadowSunAngle		= 89; clamp the angle so shadow casts straight down.
End
END

dunno why it doesnt work

[Elric]

take out the ENDs then it should work.

[Ganon]

To be more precise, remove the "End"s immediately before, and immediately after the weaponset tidbit in the above code.

DisplayName			= OBJECT:Ancalagon
	RecruitText			= CONTROLBAR:AncalagonRecruit
	ReviveText			= CONTROLBAR:AncalagonRevive
	Hotkey				= CONTROLBAR:AncalagonHotkey

End    ;----- THIS ONE RIGHT HERE


        WeaponSet
		; Primary is for special powers.
		Weapon = SECONDARY AncalagonFlame
		PreferredAgainst = SECONDARY STRUCTURE MACHINE HORDE INFANTRY CAVALRY
		Weapon = TERTIARY NazgulClawAttack
		OnlyAgainst = TERTIARY MONSTER
		ReadyStatusSharedWithinSet = Yes
	End
END    ;----- AND THIS ONE RIGHT HERE

Geometry			= CYLINDER

[ReallyFat]

and guys please look at my post on the rquest for modellers

[Elric]

The last post was pointless.

And Bender missed an End:

ChildObject Ancalagon Drogoth

Scale = 4.0

                Locomotor = FellBeastLocomotor
