Hello! I wanted to add the "Thorn of Vengeance" ability of Thranduil to Haldir to make him stronger. I went to commandset.ini, found the commandset of Haldir and added it there under the 5th number. But it doesn't work at all. I click on it and the star-like cursor doesn't appear so I can't use it. Can somebody help me with it? Have I done something wrong? I can see the ability in the Palantir but I can't use it. And also I am worried about the movement of Haldir. I mean, I want him to take an arrow and fire it like Thranduil, not just stand foolishly while the arrow flies automatically. And also I'd like to add "Rain of Arrows" power of Legolas to him. Can anyone help me with all this stuff, please??? Thanks!

Did you copy the special ability power modules from Thranduil to Haldir?
Rain of Arrows is a CAH Power (right?), look on the3rdage.net for a tutorial on changing a CAH power to a normal hero power.

Rain of arrows is CAH yes... But Legolas also has his own version (but it is the same thing also.) but yes, there are tutorials on T3A about adding one hero power to another.

Couldn't find what I was looking for...

Thorn of vengeance... you need to copy this code to Haldir's ini...

If haldir (i have no clue) does not have an animation for grabbing an arrow then you will need to find one or make one...

I've done it. I can see the icon of the power in the Palantir but I can't use it now. It's locked. It says that it can be used at level 10. But even if I reach that level, it's still locked... :(

k, u need to change the experiencelevel.ini so that haldir gets:
Upgrade_ThranduilThornofVengeance
as an upgrade at level 10, or whatever level you want him to get it.
