Minas Tirith WIP preview

 

Note: I still need to make the mission harder, by adjusting the Orc ranks or adding more of them, I still think this preview gives a general idea of what I'm going for in Minas Tirith.

 

Side Note: The Witch King is supposed to swoop the Rohirrim, trying to figure out why he doesn't atm.

I still need to think about making it last longer, and of course give Aragorn the level 10 costume. I will maybe change the ending a bit.

this progress make me happy cant wait to try all this stuff 

maps look really harder and theses old cursors are really cool

[Maximan]

Hey guys, 

 

I just started working on the Aragorn blademaster ability again, which I'm done with, but I would like to hear you guys thought, on how it should work. Would you rather: Have Aragorn do a full frontal attack, where he kills every orc coming infront of him, with a chance that he just hits air, while getting attacked from the sides, or would you: Rather have Aragorn do a move identical to the Good Amon Hen Outro, where he kills every orc around him with ease, but there's a chance he will turn around to hit nothing.

 

I personally think the first option is great versus heroes, and the second one would work great for times where Aragorn is surrounded, and you need him to get out, or just destroy the uruks around him.

Hmm, second? Players will relate more to it?

[Maximan]

Yeah I'm also leaning more towards the second.

Aragorn Ability Test - Animation

 

Spoiler

 

Hey guys, 

 

I am currently working on adding this animation in-game in some way, currently considering if I want to make it revamp the Blademaster ability, or make it a whole new ability of it's own, just to clear the units around Aragorn. Let me know what you think.

Yo,

I freaking love that animation and I like how you introduced the sound from the BFME tutorial. I would suggest this animation should have a standalone ability (or the other way around), a one burst shot ability and not a timed one.

[Maximan]

Thanks man, I'm currently testing around with a one burst ability, I reckon it would fit it.

[Miraak5]

I dont know if u still want to include the fellbeast and eagle to crash on the battlefield but i have it fully working if u want it 

 

i have also found the anim the witch king have in one of the promo/trailer video

[Maximan]

I would love that man, I tried it once but it just kept acting weirdly the first time I added the old code back.

[NewErr]

That's weird, I so thought about that this morning, lol.

[Miraak5]

for fellbeast replace their anim block with this one: (dont worry swoop anim still work i only change dying anim and the moving anim for the "plane" promo/trailer style)

next u need to: 

remove the two slow death behaviour

the giant bird slow death behaviour with this

            BeginScript
                Prev = CurDrawablePrevAnimationState()
                if Prev == "Idle"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "Moving"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "Freefall"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "Climbing"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "Diving"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "backup"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "STUNNED"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
                if Prev == "Claw"    then CurDrawableSetTransitionAnimState("Trans_Dying") return end
            EndScript
    End

        AnimationState = DYING DEATH_2
            StateName = DYING
            Animation = DyingA
                AnimationName = GUGwaihir_HVRA
                AnimationMode = ONCE
                AnimationBlendTime = 9
            End
    End




    End

next u need to: 

remove the two slow death behaviour


and replace the giant bird slow death behaviour with this:


    Behavior = GiantBirdSlowDeathBehavior ModuleTag_GiantBirdSlowDeath
        DeathTypes = ALL 
        SinkDelay = 15000 
        SinkRate = 1.0     ; in Dist/Sec
        DestructionDelay = 20000        
        Sound    = INITIAL EagleVoiceDie            ;FellBeastDie
        Weapon    = HIT_GROUND GondorTrebuchetRockWarhead
        ; FX = INITIAL FX_FellBeastSpell
        FX = HIT_GROUND FX_TrebuchetImpactHit
        Sound    = HIT_GROUND FellBeastDieImpact
        CrashAvoidKindOfs = STRUCTURE
        CrashAvoidRadius  = 800
        CrashAvoidStrength = 0.2
        NeedToMaintainFlailingHeight = No
        ;EjectRiderIfApplicable = Yes //No
        ;RiderSubObjects = NAZGUL_SKN WITCHKING2
    DeathFlags = DEATH_1
    End 

u also need to add GIANT_BIRD to the kindof of the fellbeast and eagle 

and done

Uhm.. Mind if I use this also?

[Miraak5]

u can  but if it's for bfme2 u need to take these 3 anims from bfme1 (EA keep eagle anims in bfme2 W3D but not fellbeast one) 

cufellbst_diem, cufellbst_dien and cufellbst_dieo

Do you will add the orc pikeman ? I know they were pre e3 but their model are still ingame and work with uruk pikeman anims
The model might just need little rework

[Maximan]

Maybe, not sure yet, since I feel like Mordor might be too strong, with a large spam of orcs and some pikemen.

[Miraak5]

yeah maybe

if u add them they should not be free

 

 

 

PS: so did the code worked ? i hope so
