Hello all, knightsatwar here needing help
To add realism to BFME 1; I have been attempting to add a death weapon to units picked up and dropped by fell beasts/ eagles. Basically, I added a modified ent fall death weapon and added a death weapon behavior to all units when they die via splatting. However, the death weapon does not seem to work.
When playing the game, I have noticed that the "passenger" unit that is carried in the fell beast/eagle claws has less abilities or a different portrait then the normal variation of the unit. This leads me to believe that a sub/child object is created and killed from the flying unit's grab attack which is why my code does not work. Also the coding of the grab attack shows that the unit is instantly killed when the attack connects. The problem is, I have not found the location of these child/sub object units nor have I figured out how to spawn a proper unit to make the code work.
So I was wondering if anyone knows where these child/sub objects are located, or know how to code it so the units dropped are the normal variation.
Or.... instead, is there a way to make it so the dropped unit becomes a projectile with similar behavior as a siege weapon projectile, or the "troll throwing a goblin" weapon?
Thank you, knightsatwar
