Hi guys,

How do i add The storm ship suicide Whirlpool ability to Galadriel so she can perform it on land?

I want to make it into a spell (Just like her tornado spell)

Its do-able

Try Creating a OCL Specialpower behaviour like the tornado
Basically a duplicate with name changes
Now the OCL creates the Wirlpool object

NB : the Chill wind power of ROTWK is similiar to want you want
The FX and weapon is similir so try a bit of copy/pasting

Yep, I've done this multiple times for multiple different things... I used the chill wind with the whirlpool OCL and edited from there.

WOW thank guys it worked!

Just one thing though,the whirlpool acts like a tornado and sucks the enemies and throws them high up in the air. Is there a way to make it "suck in" the enemies and keep em in the center of the whirlpool instead of throwing them in the air?

[modboy451]

<_< Umm... I know there is, i just don't know exactly what it is... but did you use the properties of The "chill wind" or Tornado?

No i have BFME2, I copied pasted the Tornado spell and just added OCL of the Whirlpool. But i want my Whirlpool to suck in enemies and keep em in the center.

It involves the tornado weapon, you have to change the OCL to fire off a new EDITED weapon from the old one and edit the thing from there. If you post the Tornado weapon code and your Whirlpool OCL code i can point you in the right direction.

Ok here is the Whirlpool OCL

ObjectCreationList OCL_SpawnWhirlpool
CreateObject
ObjectNames = ElvenWhirlpool
Count = 1
Disposition = +RELATIVE_ANGLE -ON_GROUND_ALIGNED
PreserveLayer = No
FadeIn = Yes
FadeTime = 10000
End
End

and here is the tornado weapon

;-----------------------------------
Weapon TornadoWindWeapon
RadiusDamageAffects = ENEMIES NEUTRALS

DelayBetweenShots = 0 ; time between shots, msec
ClipSize = 0 ;4 ; how many shots in a Clip (0 == infinite)

//////////FireFX = FX_GimliLeap // CHANGE
DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = TORNADO_DAMAGE_INNER
Radius = 20.0
DelayTime = 0
DamageType = HERO
DamageFXType = TORNADO ;GIMLI_LEAP
DeathType = NORMAL
DamageScalar = 35% NONE +STRUCTURE
CylinderAOE = Yes
End
DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = TORNADO_DAMAGE_OUTER
Radius = 50.0
DelayTime = 0
DamageType = HERO
DamageFXType = TORNADO ;GIMLI_LEAP
DeathType = NORMAL
DamageScalar = 35% NONE +STRUCTURE
CylinderAOE = Yes
End

MetaImpactNugget ; A Nugget that throws things back with force
KillObjectFilter = INSTANT_DEATH_ON_METAIMPACT_OBJFILTER
ShockWaveAmount = TORNADO_METASHOCKWAVE_AMOUNT
ShockWaveRadius = TORNADO_METASHOCKWAVE_RADIUS
ShockWaveTaperOff = 1.0
ShockWaveZMult = 1.6
InvertShockWave = Yes // makes it "suck"

CyclonicFactor = 0.66
End

End

and this is the whirlpool weapon

;-----------------------------------
Weapon WhirlpoolWeapon
RadiusDamageAffects = ENEMIES NEUTRALS ALLIES
DelayBetweenShots = 0
ClipSize = INFINITE_CLIP_SIZE
;FireFX = FX_GoodShipWhirlpoolAttack ; fires multiple times

DamageNugget ; A basic Nugget that just does damage
Damage = GOOD_FIRE_SHIP_WHIRLPOOL_DAMAGE_AMOUNT_01
Radius = GOOD_FIRE_SHIP_WHIRLPOOL_DAMAGE_RADIUS_01
DelayTime = 300
DamageType = FORCE
DeathType = NORMAL
End
DamageNugget
Damage = GOOD_FIRE_SHIP_WHIRLPOOL_DAMAGE_AMOUNT_02
Radius = GOOD_FIRE_SHIP_WHIRLPOOL_DAMAGE_RADIUS_02
DelayTime = 300
DamageType = FORCE
DeathType = NORMAL
End

MetaImpactNugget ; A Nugget that sucks things in with force
ShockWaveAmount = 99.0
ShockWaveRadius = GOOD_FIRE_SHIP_WHIRLPOOL_RADIUS
ShockWaveTaperOff = 1.0
ShockWaveZMult = 0.0
InvertShockWave = Yes // makes it "suck"
CyclonicFactor = .66
End

End

But i think i am uaing the same weapon for Galadriel's Tornado, can i make a new weapon just for the whirlpool to suck in and keep enemies in the center of the pool? If so, please tell me how

Try this ..its the ChillWind weapon modboy451's mentioned

Now remember you want to copy/paste the ElvenWirlpool to give a new object ( GaladrielWirlpool ) with the
New Weapon .

[modboy451]

that's a good idea... i think i may have found it with just an edit from three lines.

This is it from the Tornado. they are from different parts of the MetaImpactNugget

ShockWaveTaperOff	= 1.0 
ShockWaveZMult	 = 0.0
CyclonicFactor	 = .66

its at the bottom of the

This is it from the chill wind...

ShockWaveTaperOff = 0.75
ShockWaveZMult    =  0.75            
CyclonicFactor    = 0.25

by the looks of it... just change those 3 lines and you should be good... if not... use the chill wind code JUS posted
