Thats a replace module... It replaces the current unit by another unit

[damianbt88]

that is quite useful code and im glad i have it

can you help me with 1 more thing do you know how to unite-combine 2 different hordes into 1

for example WargPackHorde and WargRiderHorde

if they were constructed separately

ive tried to use Command_GuardUnit but again there is no behavior for it...

[Ridder Geel]

BFME 1 combo hordes...

Look at these codes to see how they work:

This should be all to make em merge...

(do take note that these are not the full hordes, I believe the code i posted depicts what is different in both of the hordes)

[damianbt88]

i will definitely try it

 

p.s

i have just installed my bfme 1. it seems to me that the game has some other interesting stuff

 

p. s

[joke]you are sick dude[/joke]

[Ridder Geel]

I'm sick? I know my picture is a skeleton... but really... that just means im dead

Yep BFME 1 has some things the BFME 2 does not have, but can still do

[damianbt88]

guys i need your help on convert special power SpecialAbilityConvertEnemy_L2(cah). i want to get smth like this

"10% chance to convert enemy when attacking mounted on fellbeast"

it can be done using docommandupgrade

but i need to tie those scripts "grantupgrade" or ObjectTestModelCondition and animations

Spoiler

AnimationState = ABOUT_TO_HIT ; clawing
StateName = Claw
Animation = Claw
AnimationName = CUFellBst_SKL.CUFellBst_ATKD
AnimationMode = LOOP
AnimationBlendTime = 10
End
BeginScript
ObjectDoSpecialPower(self, "SpecialAbilityScreech")
CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Begin_Attacking") return
EndScript
End

or

if ObjectTestModelCondition(self, "Claw") then
        ObjectDoSpecialPower(self, "SpecialAbilityScreech")
    end

tell me if any1 knows how to do that correctly

[Ridder Geel]

So... what exactly do you want, and what did you try? (It's not entirely clear to me, sorry)

[damianbt88]

i thought i can assign special powers to specific unit action or state (no button no player needed).
for example when 1 of my flying nazgul hit a target he also must cast a spell.
an interesting thing is that oncreated scriptevent+dospecialpower(self,"specialabilityscreech") works fine.
but try to change it on specialability "convertenemy" ((self,""convertenemy""), (self,""convertenemy"", other) and (self,""convertenemy"", 2-250000))...
and nothing happens. i tried to remove "need_target_pos" from commandbutton and specialpower INIs but that did not change enth
and i am almost sure that it cannot be done using this script (the code works not like monitorconditionstate):

if ObjectTestModelCondition(self, "Claw") then
ObjectDoSpecialPower(self, "SpecialAbilityScreech")
end

i added it directly to the animation code - no results.

AnimationState = ABOUT_TO_HIT ; clawing
StateName = Claw
Animation = Claw
AnimationName = CUFellBst_SKL.CUFellBst_ATKD
AnimationMode = LOOP
AnimationBlendTime = 10
End
BeginScript
ObjectDoSpecialPower(self, "SpecialAbilityScreech")
CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Begin_Attacking") return
EndScript
End
this is ; *** ART Parameters *** section so maybe the game understands only graphic commands.
ill try to use grantupgrade-removeupgrade script commands because special powers
like convert enemy (with cursor pos) can be triggered (automatically) with this code only
// When created, automatically switch to rock-throwing
Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade Module_DoCommandUpgrade
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_SwitchToRockThrowing
GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_ToggleMountainTrollRockThrow
End
but problem remains: specialpower must be triggered onattack
i saw many interesting things in the map scripts (like grantscience ) is there enth more usefull?
what maps you would recomend to me if im looking for scripts?

Edited by damianbt88, 31 March 2013 - 04:08 AM.

[Ridder Geel]

Well map scriptsare not really what you would want in this case.. But then again... I'm not sure what you want to do is possible like this...

[damianbt88]

that's ok. i just needed a confirmation from some1 with rank more than thousand posts to start doing smth else.
even if i don't use standard
hello
...
thank you
it doesn't mean I do not appreciate your help.

[Ridder Geel]

Hehe.. I try to help where i can

If you have any other ideas or things that are not working out, just ask and I'll see if i can think of a way to make it work
