Ok I got the shield FX to spawn but it's not protecting anything and set it just like it said so I went ahead and tried the other one the.

1. Do it the way PDLs worked in Generals. Create a new weapon that can only target projectiles (best to do via the AntiMask), hits instantly and set reload time, clipsize etc. to mimic shield health and recharge time. If you want the shield only to be able to intercept enemy fire at it´s border(like the shields in EAW), set the minimum range close to the maximum range. This will however require you to make every weapon that the shield should be effective against into a projectile based one.

But its not working ether I made a invs. weapon and did like it said but the weapon wont fire at anything that its supose to at all it's like its not there i'm starting to run out of ideas on this I really need this to work can anyone please help me out I'd be forever greatful thanks.

This is a tough one. You might have to sacrifice some features to get it working.

See Golan's post at the end.

It's a pity that broadcast filter only works with stealth.


Ok i'v looked at that post and i'm tring out the second one the .

2. Make the shield a separate object with KindOf WALL_SEGMENT that is spawned by the shield generator (see the storm column as an example). Change every weapon that the shield should be effective against to have WALLS in its ProjectileCollidesWith attribute.

Now i'v tried making the shield a separate object like it says but for some resson it wont spawn and I can't figure out why here is what I have.

Now I have't tried the 1st one yet the.

1. Do it the way PDLs worked in Generals. Create a new weapon that can only target projectiles (best to do via the AntiMask), hits instantly and set reload time, clipsize etc. to mimic shield health and recharge time. If you want the shield only to be able to intercept enemy fire at it´s border(like the shields in EAW), set the minimum range close to the maximum range. This will however require you to make every weapon that the shield should be effective against into a projectile based one.

I'm not shur how to do that one and make the shield visable but the other one I can't figure out what i'm doing wronge to make it work please any help would be great thanks.

Well yes I know it would alot of work and yes I know the modding community is losing people but thats because no one can mod Kain Wrath. But to be frank if people knew that a project was under way to make it possiable to mod Kains Wrath then maybe there might be more people getting involved and tring to help to make it possiable. Now myself i'v just started school to be a video game developer and it will take me along time to finish and have the knowledge to do what i'v sujusted but once i'v finish school i'd gladly tackle it all patching, reconfigering the sdk, and reprograming what need to be. But that will be awail before i can tackle that though and i don't care what EALA has to say about it I do what I want when I want. But I'm just saying if the knowledge is known how to do this why should we not try.
