I have 3 questions on the Buildings on bfme 2:

- How can I add the old level up (experience) system along with the new one

- How can I add multiple archers in a keep or fortress ( get more than 1 arrow to fire from a building)

- And is there any tutorial on how to edit building animations / make new ones ( i don't understand how it is done )

Thanks in Advance

1.

Behavior = ProductionUpdate ModuleTag_06
        GiveNoXP        = Yes    
  End

Change that to No

2. You mean fire more at the same time, or just from different directions? For different directions, you'll need to add new bones to the building for it to fire from. For more at the same time, I think you'll need to make a new weapon for it.

3. Nope, no tutorials. But a quick run;
- Make sure the 0 frame and the last frame is how the building is when it's complete.
- In frame 1, move all parts below the surface (remember to activate animations, so you acctually have the building move)
- Then you can change the individual parts to end at different times. Ie, copy\move the last frame from a house to frame 50, and then the roof to frame 70, and extra things to fram 90 (if you have 100 frames max).
- Then make sure all things are checked as both Export Transform (bone) and Export Geometry in the W3D Tools.
- Export it as Hierachial Animated Model, from frame 1 to 100 (or wherever it ends).

Thanks for the help and advice
And for question 2.) like in the men's fortress it has four towers but only one shoots at a time how can i make all four shoot at a time instead of just one ?

[Lauri]

The tower that is closest to the enemy will shoot. That's how it is.

Ok well can i get like three different arrows to come from one then ?

[Lauri]

Yes, but you'll need to make a new weapon for it.
