Hey guys! I followed this topic - http://forums.revora...-bubble-shield/
and was able to add the Bubble to Gandalf. Everything works perfectly now. But there's one major problem. This whole thing has absolutely no effect, whatsoever... I mean I can see the bubble around him but he STILL gets damage from everything, including arrows and catapults. Am I missing something?

If you would post the source code i can help. You probably arent activating the attribute modifier or armorset upgrade. Whatever one youre using

Ok, I'll post the things I did. But before that, I wanna ask. If I'm not wrong that Bubble is supposed to make Gandalf invulnerable for a period of time right? So it should work for every type of damage. Am I right?

[zezkersar]

Well tha depends. The guy that posted hoe to do it made it more complicated than it needed to be. If you just put all the code you have in a text document and uploaf it, ill have a look for you.

As he was saying there are a few ways you can do this. 1. Once gandalfs health is so low, the shield activates and he bevomes invulnerable from damage(which types are up to you), or you can set it as an ability that you activate like the other spells gandalf has.

Which one are you trying to do?

Alright, thanks a lot! I'll post the things now!
Ok, so I'm a bit skilled in coding, so I was able to dismiss some things in that article.


1. I went to gandalf.ini and found this code there:
 

;Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_ShieldBubble
;		DefaultModelConditionState
;			Model = None
;		End
;		
;		ModelConditionState = USER_3 ; HERO -- not using HERO anymore since HERO is used for Gandalf White
;			Model = GUGANDALFCRSTL
;
;			ParticleSysBone     = ROOTTRANSFORM GandalfCrystalSphere FollowBone:Yes
;			ParticleSysBone     = ROOTTRANSFORM GandalfBeamGlow2 FollowBone:Yes
;		End
;	End

 

As you see it's all commented. I removed all the ; -s.

2. Also in gandalf.ini I pasted this code in the part, where his special powers are:

 

;------- ShieldBubble --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleEnabler
		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
		TriggeredBy = Upgrade_ShieldBubble
	End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleStarter					  
	SpecialPowerTemplate	  = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
	StartsPaused		  = Yes
	UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = Yes
	AttributeModifier		  = GandalfShieldBubbleBonus
	AttributeModifierAffectsSelf = Yes
	SetModelCondition		  = ModelConditionState:USER_3
	SetModelConditionTime	  = 2.5; in seconds
End

Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_ShieldBubbleUpdate					  
	SpecialPowerTemplate	  = SpecialPowerShieldBubble
	UnpackTime			 = 1	
	PreparationTime		 = 1
End

 

 

Mind, that I changed SetModelConditionTime to 30 seconds.
 

3. Next, I went to the commandset.ini, found Gandalf's and replaced the ToggleStance with Command_ShieldBubble.

4. Ok, after that I went to experiencelevels.ini and found "Gandalflevel1" block and added Upgrade_ShieldBubble to the "Upgrades" line.

 

5. I went to upgrades.ini and added the following line at the bottom of the file. 
 

Upgrade Upgrade_ShieldBubble
    Type = OBJECT
End 

6. And the last thing. I went to commandbutton.ini and added this code at the bottom.
 

CommandButton Command_ShieldBubble
  Command				 = SPECIAL_POWER 
  SpecialPower			= SpecialPowerShieldBubble
  TextLabel			   = CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbility_ShieldBubble
  ButtonImage			 = Gandolf_sphere
  ButtonBorderType		= ACTION 
  DescriptLabel		   = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbility_Shieldbubble
  InPalantir			  = Yes
  AutoAbility				= Yes
End
