Is it possible to make two units to merge?

Egozi44 · August 28, 2015

Alright I will try them both

I need to make new animationstate rather than use the old one correct?

Where I add the QuadrupedDraw though? I don't have BFME files on my pc anymore and I never really opened or mod them, I think they used ini files rather than xmls back in the day but I never checked

Mumakil. (Or Oliphaunts)

Those almost sound adorable, if you disregard the stomping and crushing of your units.

I need to make new animationstate rather than use the old one correct?

Yes

Where I add the QuadrupedDraw though? I don't have BFME files on my pc anymore and I never really opened or mod them, I think they used ini files rather than xmls back in the day but I never checked

Instead of calling your draw (the whole code bracket that holds model, animation, weapon bone stuff etc) <ScriptedModelDraw></ScriptedModelDraw>

you use

That draw has extra helper bones if need be that it can use to manipulate 4 legged units

<xs:attribute name="LeftFrontFootBone" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="RightFrontFootBone" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="LeftRearFootBone" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="RightRearFootBone" type="xs:string" />

for the rest it inherits exactly the same stuff from scriptedmodeldraw iirc....it just adds some extra options for walking units. iirc it was used in bfme to facilitate with walking up on slopes, crushing stuff and targeting stuff on the mamukil.

there are parts in the locomotor that can be used together with this draw:

<xs:enumeration value="FOUR_LEGS_HUGE" />
       
 <xs:enumeration value="HUGE_TWO_LEGS" />

think there are a few others like Walkdistance that can be used to tune it abit.

like wise you can use something like

Distance="45"

in your animationstate to scale a full walking cycle to a sertain distance, this could help tune out some twitching effects in animations.

Ok, the QuadrupedDraw didn't worked and made the entire unit invisible so I assume that EA removed it

The new animationstate + locomotor and distance made the turning look a bit better but it still don't uses the legs

Can you take a look on the new xml and see what I can change? also if you can please tell me if there's a way to force the mastadon to stop use the idle animations when he walking and get interrupted, it really annoy to the eyes : /

i am basicly out of suggestions, can't think of anything atm.

Egozi44 · August 29, 2015

I see,

Adding the new animationstate made him act a bit different when he turn around

but he still don't move his legs, is it matter of change stuff in the distance and with the locomotor? I think that Scrin epic unit move it legs when he turn... or it was the redeemer,

Oh and also I try something with the mastodon

I try to add a pod that come from the sky and then spawn him, for now I don't use the c&c4 pod since I don't sure how to make it work and if I even used the right model since it seem that EA mixed it with the Crawlers models and it confused me : /

But the real issue for now is that the pod can be train multiple times because I don't use it as Special power

I thought that SP will be too much unique for a epic unit so I tried to make the Marv facility to build the pod (gave it dec and pic of the mastodon) and then make the pod to spawn the mastodon

But thanks to the pod and the mastodon being two different units the Unique_unit won't work and will let you build the pod many times (but won't spawn the mastodon again lol since he already in the field and also use Unique_unit)

So do you have any idea how I can make the pod trainable Only when there's not any mastodon in the field?

Support power with Scrin mothership style can be cool but can be too much unique and have it own balance issues for epic unit.... So it the last resort

Stygs · August 30, 2015

Not sure about the problem with the legs without some pictures or a video, but some thing I noticed at your code:

CurDrawableShowSubObject("GUN_UPGRADE")

Thats not a good way to hide/show stuff. Its better to add "RetainSubObjects="true" to most Modelconditionstates like the other units have.

Flags="MAINTAIN_FRAME_ACROSS_STATES"

Should also be removed, as there is no reason to have it in all these states.

"MOVING HEALTH_PERCENT_25"

This state wont work. It needs to be defined BEFORE the normal MOVING state and I think HEALTH_PERCENT_25 is not working by default, you need another module to trigger it. Its better to just use DAMAGE/REALLYDAMAGED.

Appearance="TREADS" 
value="FOUR_LEGS_HUGE"

I dont know much about WED, but I am pretty sure thats WRONG. Appearance is either TREADS or FOUR_LEGS_HUGE, not both.

Most of these options are bugged anyway in TW, hence its best to use TWO_LEGS, THREADS, HOVER and WINGS.

Support power with Scrin mothership style can be cool but can be too much unique and have it own balance issues for epic unit.... So it the last resort

the mother ship uses this to limit how many it can spawn, you would add something more or less the same to your mastodont

<GrantUpgradeCreate
                id="ModuleTag_AddMotherShipUpgrade"
                UpgradeToGrant="Upgrade_MotherShipBuilt" />
            <UpgradeDie
                id="ModuleTag_RemoveMotherShipUpgrade"               /** if the unit dies it removes the following upgrade **/
                UpgradeId="Upgrade_MotherShipBuilt">
                <DieMuxData
                    DeathTypes="ALL" />
            </UpgradeDie>

and it uses that upgrade in it gamedependancy for its specialpower, but you can sue that same dependancy in your droppod aswel:

<GameDependency>
         
            <ForbiddenUpgrade>Upgrade_MotherShipBuilt</ForbiddenUpgrade>

I see, where I need to add it though? I think I saw it on some units I moded before, don't remember which though

I will upload a video or GIF later if you want, but it look really similar to how the mammoth moves when he shoot on moving target that within his range and just make him rotate while he keep shooting on it

Flags="MAINTAIN_FRAME_ACROSS_STATES"

Should also be removed, as there is no reason to have it in all these states.

I think I saw a bit of imporovment thanks to that, from where should I remove it? from all states aside the "Moving" state?

"MOVING HEALTH_PERCENT_25"

This state wont work. It needs to be defined BEFORE the normal MOVING state and I think HEALTH_PERCENT_25 is not working by default, you need another module to trigger it. Its better to just use DAMAGE/REALLYDAMAGED.

Yea it a left over from zocom7 or Gdi_commado xml, it supposed to change the mastadon animation to damage moving animation when it really damage, the HEALTH_PERCENT_25 indeed don't work but when I use REALLYDAMAGED before it end up look really werid, I didn't knew it should be placed before the normal moving state though

Do I need to place it above the normal moving state and change it to Moving_REALLYDAMAGED ? is there anything else you know aside the "REALLYDAMAGED" that should use that state only under low health?

Appearance="TREADS"

value="FOUR_LEGS_HUGE"

I dont know much about WED, but I am pretty sure thats WRONG. Appearance is either TREADS or FOUR_LEGS_HUGE, not both.

Most of these options are bugged anyway in TW, hence its best to use TWO_LEGS, THREADS, HOVER and WINGS.

Yea I sort of was surprise that it didn't crushed, so I was like "well as long as it work....."

But I think the TWA's Locomotor will be better, can I use it?

Still didn't changed the health_25 thing

but what you think about it now? shuold I delete all the Flags="MAINTAIN_FRAME_ACROSS_STATES" from it?

I still need to test and see if the improvment that were added from the old xml didn't go away~

Edited August 31, 2015 by Egozi44

the mother ship uses this to limit how many it can spawn, you would add something more or less the same to your mastodont

<GrantUpgradeCreate
id="ModuleTag_AddMotherShipUpgrade"

UpgradeToGrant="Upgrade_MotherShipBuilt" />

<UpgradeDie

id="ModuleTag_RemoveMotherShipUpgrade" /** if the unit dies it removes the following upgrade **/

UpgradeId="Upgrade_MotherShipBuilt">

<DieMuxData

DeathTypes="ALL" />

</UpgradeDie>

and it uses that upgrade in it gamedependancy for its specialpower, but you can sue that same dependancy in your droppod aswel:

<GameDependency>

<ForbiddenUpgrade>Upgrade_MotherShipBuilt</ForbiddenUpgrade>

</GameDependency>

So in other words I need to add that upgrade to both? also how does it work and how can I make it look as if you build the mastadon normally? I mean won't it show "request upgrade" next to the mastadon unit button after you build it?

I never used stuff from the mothership before so I don't really sure how that upgrade works

Oh and another new issue that pop up for me yesterday but probably shouldn't pose must of a problem for you:

I gave to all Pitbulls Mortar Bombard ability that let it act like the Juggernaut ability but have low dmg and range, it don't required sniper team, just the mortar upgrade

(see here http://www.moddb.com/mods/kanes-wrath-unofficial-patch-104/images/pitbulls-mortar-bombard#imagebox )

Now the issue is that it don't use the right bones for the attack and it shoot the mortar from the middle of the Pitbull rather than the rear cannon, the wreapon use the same stuff as the normal pitbull's mortar but with bigger range

How I can make it use the bone or whatever that is missing?

Here the pitbull xml (It a leftover I still used from bugged WED 1.08, so save it in a note and view it vie IE)

No you only add it to your droppod, from what you explained you build your droppod, then it dies/replaces itself into the mastodont. I misread your previous post and thought ou build the mastodont, but if i understand it correctly you dont build the mastodont anymore but the droppodinstead? Basicly you add that piece of code to the thing you build. No need to add it to both then.

for the pitbull try to add:

WeaponSlotID="2"
WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"

to your WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate

also this from your xml:

<WeaponFireFXBone
                 BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
<WeaponFireFXBone
                 WeaponSlotID="2"
                 BoneName="mortortube" />
<WeaponLaunchBone 
                 BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
<WeaponLaunchBone
                 WeaponSlotID="2"
                 BoneName="mortortube" />

and this is how it should look like(taken from the KW xml and not the TW xml):

<WeaponFireFXBone
                        WeaponSlotID="1"
                        WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
                        BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
                    <WeaponFireFXBone
                        WeaponSlotID="2"
                        WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
                        BoneName="mortortube" />
                    <WeaponLaunchBone
                        WeaponSlotID="1"
                        WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
                        BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
                    <WeaponLaunchBone
                        WeaponSlotID="2"
                        WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
                        BoneName="mortortube" />

Any reason why you left weaponslottype out of it all?

Also did you finaly manage the create a new unitability/specialpower button for this bombard attack then? or how are you using it?

He can leave it out as it defaults to PRIMARY_WEAPON anyway. And WeaponSlotID defaults to 1. His xml does the exact same thing yours does, yours is just more explicit.

True, still my question was more on why he altered it, as in why he "re invented hot water"? The only thing he changed/added was the SP he claims, im just wondering how get ends up with setain deviations in his xml, is it the version of WED he uses or so?

Egozi44 · September 1, 2015

Sorry for the dealy

No you only add it to your droppod, from what you explained you build your droppod, then it dies/replaces itself into the mastodont. I misread your previous post and thought ou build the mastodont, but if i understand it correctly you dont build the mastodont anymore but the droppodinstead? Basicly you add that piece of code to the thing you build. No need to add it to both then.

Well yea, at the beginning I didn't was sure how to make the Mastadon to be build with a pod without a SP so I just made him trainable the normal way, after I tried a few stuff the pod look so nice I couldn't resist about adding it

So basicly I need to add new upgrade xml and add this:

<GrantUpgradeCreate
                id="ModuleTag_AddMotherShipUpgrade"
                UpgradeToGrant="NewUpgrade_PodBuilt" />
            <UpgradeDie
                id="ModuleTag_RemovePodUpgrade"               /** if the unit dies it removes the following upgrade **/
                UpgradeId="NewUpgrade_PodBuilt">
                <DieMuxData
                    DeathTypes="ALL" />
            </UpgradeDie>

and that

<GameDependency>
         
            <ForbiddenUpgrade>NewUpgrade_PodBuilt</ForbiddenUpgrade>
</GameDependency>

to the pod correct?

for the pitbull try to add:

WeaponSlotID="2"
WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"

to your WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate

Will try it out and report

also this from your xml:

<WeaponFireFXBone
BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
<WeaponFireFXBone
WeaponSlotID="2"
BoneName="mortortube" />
<WeaponLaunchBone
BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
<WeaponLaunchBone
WeaponSlotID="2"
BoneName="mortortube" />

and this is how it should look like(taken from the KW xml and not the TW xml):

<WeaponFireFXBone
WeaponSlotID="1"
WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
<WeaponFireFXBone
WeaponSlotID="2"
WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
BoneName="mortortube" />
<WeaponLaunchBone
WeaponSlotID="1"
WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
BoneName="FXWEAPON01" />
<WeaponLaunchBone
WeaponSlotID="2"
WeaponSlotType="PRIMARY_WEAPON"
BoneName="mortortube" />

Any reason why you left weaponslottype out of it all?

I didn't, it came out like that in bugged WED 1.08

The thing with bugged WED 1.08 is that it don't display all codes, But at the same time in 99% of my time using it It also don't make them stop working if something was missing Unless I add it myself and overwrite it to something elses

So for short, WED 1.08 don't include all code lines but they still there and working, unless I overdrive the xml it don't show any issue (at least from what I understood from testing)

Speaking on issues can someone tell me what is supposedly the legendary Reckoner bug that appeared in WED 1.07? I heard that it appear as long as you just mess with the Reckoner's xml, but I done it and don't saw any visiable bug till someone told me there was one in ver 1.07

Also did you finaly manage the create a new unitability/specialpower button for this bombard attack then? or how are you using it?

I simply looked at the Specter ability and mimic it (Juggernaut's seem to be coded so I had no other choice), I added new units abilities before and in rare cases added SP that was already in the game just to other faction for a test, I didn't was aware of the spellbook at that time (thought you meant to the one in the ini files) and that stopped me from adding new stuff (you can look on my mod images and see new unit abilities from half year ago or so~)

I still don't sure what missing in the Nod's nuclear support power to make it work though

It seem that EA/EALA planned to add it to the pitbull all along but probably remove it due to balance or uniqueness issues (they already made a name and dec for it)

I make it weaker and have less range than the Juggernaut so there's no worries, in fact it solved the ZOCOM lack of artillery without the need to add to them another Juggernaut (I still thinking on adding to them the Koidak as SP or the C&C4 Juggernaut, But at this point I may just make them World Builder's easter egg or something, the C&C4 Juggernaut credit all goes to Prodigy btw)

Oh and BTW

Not sure about the problem with the legs without some pictures or a video

Here GIF

Full screen:

http://giphy.com/gifs/3o85xv7qjmzNXqno9G/fullscreen

And his main cannon does move to the target, it just happened that in the GIF he don't really need to moves his cannon (just in case anyone ganaa ask)

If you want the alpha version of my mod to see or test stuff just tell me, I trust you all enough to give you the files, it probably won't be anything fancy as the stuff you all do in your mods though~

Another good news

I was able to add Tier 2 and Tier 3 upgrade buttons to the mutants hovel

They working like charm

Edited September 1, 2015 by Egozi44

Stygs · September 3, 2015

Now that you posted the video... I have to admit that the TWA Mastodons have the same bug while Redeemer and Hexapod work fine.

And since both of these mechs use WeaponSlotHardpoint while the Mastodons use turret for their primary weapons, I guess that is some kind of engine problem.

Edit: So far, the Redeemer seems to work only as long as he doent use the turret mechanic - as soon as he gains a turret, his turning animations bug out too.

Edited September 3, 2015 by Stygs

Egozi44 · September 4, 2015

Yea, I also noticed that TWA mastadon turning too fast which unfit to a heavy 4 legs walker Imo so I stayed with my own locomator (just removed the 4 legs part)

What I need to add to it to act like the redeemer? Though I double it ganna help since he uses turret as his main weapon

Oh btw Ravendark, thanks a lot, I was able to make the mastadon to land with TT pod thanks to your and prodigy help

Edited September 4, 2015 by Egozi44

Egozi44 · September 5, 2015

Well I time the pod and add sounds but I have another issue

One of my ideas were that the mastadon will destroy the marv hub facility each time it came out

But now that I added the pod people can sell the building right before the pod landing

Is there any way to make building unsellable only after the pod came out?

I thought about ditching the idea of the destruction of the facility, but my fear is that the game can randomly crash if the mastadon will walk on the building it landing at

Edited September 6, 2015 by Egozi44

Ravendark · September 6, 2015

One of the ideas i am using in my own mode is the following:

my warfactory and barracks would eventually get a upgrade that gives them a radar/com relay disc. Whenever you build a unit, it will then spawn a invisible dummy unit that moves insanely fast but has a lifespan of only 5-10 seconds. then it dies and spawns the actuall units (the idea for me is to spawn something flying ofscreen to mimic a combat airdrop). This would happen where ever the rally point of the producer is set (the dummy would just move really fast to that spot).

In your case you could do the same: Spawn a really fast dummy, that moves to the rally point, after a set lifetime it spawns the droppod there, the droppod spaens the mastodont. because the dummy is an actuall unit with body and collision detection (but unselectable and invisible(no art) it will move to where it can stand freely so the drop pod wont land on anything in general. You could keep the marv facility....its kind of silly to destroy it in that way. If you really want to get rid of the facility, then just use a mcv like special power to turn the facility inthe the droppod/mastodont.

Egozi44 · September 6, 2015

I actually used different yet similar idea to my mutant hovel teach-up upgrade buttons

the button spawn unselectable and invisible inf unit (because vehicle make the game crash each time other vehicle come out and it don't seem to be because of the crush attack)

and that inf unit spawn the invisible building

I already made the pod as the "unselectable" unit that spawn the mastodon, I may do what you said if the mastodon will caused the game to crush (Still testing it atm)

At first I made the mastodon to destroy the facility due to it's size btw (like that RA3 mod that made the mammoth to destroy the Soviet war factory)

I thought it be proper pay for the strongest epic unit in the mod,

the tier 4 buildings (epic units factory and support powers labs) in the mod gives small amount of funds so it really let down for the players who will need to rebuild it

Ok back to the main thread topic

I tried to take all the SP the avatar commdder have for just one unit (like the flame tank) and edit them all,

now all that left (I think?) is to add the:

<ReplaceSelfUpgrade
id="ModuleTag_ReplaceSelf"
NewObjectUnpackTime="5.0s"
DisabledDuringUnpack="false"
CheckBuildAssistant="true">
<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_UnPack</TriggeredBy>
<ReplacementTemplate>NODConstructionYard</ReplacementTemplate>
</ReplaceSelfUpgrade>

But where I supposed to add it?

Edit

I done all I know and the ability was added but I can't select any unit with it....

can you take a look on my files and tell me what wrong? (I expect a lot of things went wrong xD)

http://www.mediafire.com/download/7i7o3fx5np5pc08/VicMerge.rar

Also how can I make it so the viscriods won't be able to select themselves (when the ability will work of course)

Edited September 8, 2015 by Egozi44

Egozi44 · September 18, 2015

Well if no one have time to help/ don't know how to help me (which is fine btw)

Then I guess it time to move to the next thread? xD

Not MIA, just busy IRL

1. the avatar uses a chained specialpower wich basicly means that first he fires a weapon to paralyze and destroy the unit he targets, secondly he uses a upgrade specialpower to trigger an upgrade

<SpecialPowerDispatchSpecialPower
                id="ModuleTag_AvatarCommandeerDispatch"
                SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarCommandeerDispatch"
                RequireAllPowersToFunction="false"
                AttributeModifierAffectsSelf="true">
                <SpecialPower
                    SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarInvisibility" />
               
                <SpecialPower
                    SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarCommandeerDestroyStealthTank" />
            </SpecialPowerDispatchSpecialPower>

<SpecialPower
                id="SpecialPower_AvatarCommandeerDestroyStealthTank"
                SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarCommandeerDestroyStealthTank"
                AttributeModifierAffectsSelf="true"
                UpdateModuleStartsAttack="true" />

 <WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate
                id="SpecialPower_AvatarCommandeerDestroyStealthTankUpdate"
                SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarCommandeerDestroyStealthTank"
                SpecialWeapon="NODAvatarCommandeerWeapon"
                UnpackTime="0s"
                PackTime="0s"
                StartAbilityRange="15.0"
                BusyForDuration="2.7s"
                WhichSpecialWeapon="1" />


<GiveOrRestoreUpgradeSpecialPower
                id="SpecialPower_AvatarInvisibilityUpdate"
                SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarInvisibility"
                UpgradeToGive="Upgrade_AvatarInvisibility" />

 <SpecialPower
                id="SpecialPower_AvatarInvisibility"
                SpecialPowerTemplate="SpecialPower_AvatarInvisibility" />

the idea is to basicly fire multiple specialpowers with one click, the first targets your merge unit and the second kills the merge unit and triggers a upgrade

if you couple this together with the mcv deploy logic you could replace into a new unit :

<ReplaceSelfUpgrade
                id="ModuleTag_ReplaceSelf"
                NewObjectUnpackTime="5.0s"
                DisabledDuringUnpack="false"
                CheckBuildAssistant="true">
                <TriggeredBy>Upgrade_UnPack</TriggeredBy>
                <ReplacementTemplate>NODConstructionYard</ReplacementTemplate>
            </ReplaceSelfUpgrade>

another way to go about all this might be to just use the GARRISON modelcondition + hordegarrison module...you let your first unit be garrisonable by your second unit, and use the GARRISONED modelstat to display a merged unit

Another way would be the MOUNTED code if that still worked(BFME merged rider and horse that way iirc).

2. as far as i know specialpower cursors are hardcoded (not including targetdecal cursors)...iirc you cant create new cursors, you change existing ones but not add new ones....iirc.

3. like megumi/prodigy said

4. CloakingFieldKillInfantryWeapon this is the weapon that actually kills the infantry its fired from a specialability in the ops-center, the warhead in the weapon acts as filter CloakingFieldKillInfantryWeaponWarhead

<WeaponTemplate
        id="CloakingFieldKillInfantryWeaponWarhead"
        Name="CloakingFieldKillInfantryWeaponWarhead"
        RadiusDamageAffects="ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS"
        AttackRange="50000.0"
        WeaponSpeed="9999.0"
        AntiMask="ANTI_GROUND ANTI_AIRBORNE_INFANTRY"
        >
        <Nuggets>
            <DamageNugget
                Damage="500"
                Radius="=$CLOAKING_FIELD_RADIUS"
                DamageType="UNRESISTABLE"
                DeathType="NORMAL">
                <SpecialObjectFilter
                    Rule="NONE"
                    Include="INFANTRY"
                    Exclude="VEHICLE HUGE_VEHICLE AIRCRAFT"/>            
                <DamageScalarDetails Scalar= "25%">
                    <Filter Rule="NONE">
                        <IncludeThing>GDIZoneTrooper</IncludeThing>
                        <IncludeThing>GDICommando</IncludeThing>
                        <IncludeThing>AlienMastermind</IncludeThing>
                        <IncludeThing>AlienShockTrooper</IncludeThing>
                        <IncludeThing>NODCommando</IncludeThing>
                        <IncludeThing>NODBlackhand</IncludeThing>
                    </Filter>
                </DamageScalarDetails>
            </DamageNugget>
        </Nuggets>
    </WeaponTemplate>

add something like the following to it:

<DamageNugget
                Damage="500"
                Radius="=$CLOAKING_FIELD_RADIUS"
                DamageType="UNRESISTABLE"
                DeathType="NORMAL">
                <SpecialObjectFilter
                    Rule="NONE"
                   
                    Exclude="INFANTRY AIRCRAFT">
                  <IncludeThing>mynewunit</IncludeThing>
                  </SpecialObjectFilter>       
                <DamageScalarDetails Scalar= "1000%">
                    <Filter Rule="NONE">
                        <IncludeThing>mynewunit</IncludeThing>
                    </Filter>
                </DamageScalarDetails>
            </DamageNugget>

Well, is it still work in CC3 like in the ZH mod Contra or Shockwave? When an infantry enters a vehicle, the vehicle will have an upgrade. Such as troopcrawler in Shockwave, it will upgrade a new weapon and hardened the armor by garrisoned the soldier, and not the RIDER/motorbike module.

I tried something like that and had issus, i added link to my files but no one reply so far so I moved on ; )

If anyone have a clue I'm all ears
