Adding new special ability to Jarmen Kell

[Burningmace 0]

I'm attempting to copy Colonel Burton's C4 abilities (Place Timed Charge, Place Remote Charge, Detonate Charges) to Jarmen Kell, but have got a problem. I have set up the CommandSet and CommandButton stuff, so the buttons show up in the game. The thing is, I can't use them. When I click them the cursor changes to the "Cannot Place Bomb" type cursor.

I thought it was something to do with Behaviour_SpecialAbility being missing for Jarmen Kell, but have found the only way to fix it is to use FinalBIG to export the so-far modded Jarmen Kell, add the special ability data and import it back in, but I get a fatal error when I do so.

 

Here's what I've inserted into FactionUnit.ini after Jarmen Kell's normal abilities:

  Behavior = SpecialAbility ModuleTag_10

    SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityColonelBurtonRemoteCharges

    UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes

    InitiateSound             = ColonelBurtonVoicePlantRemoteCharge

  End



  Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_11

    SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityColonelBurtonRemoteCharges

    StartAbilityRange = 0.0

    PreparationTime = 0

    SpecialObject = RemoteC4Charge

    MaxSpecialObjects = 8

    SpecialObjectsPersistWhenOwnerDies = No;Charges are removed instantly when owner dies (nobody can detonate).

    AlwaysValidateSpecialObjects = Yes     ;Coupled with the above setting, this one is necessary for code optimization.

    SpecialObjectsPersistent = Yes         ;Charges are persistent till lifetime expires or owner detonates them.

    UniqueSpecialObjectTargets = Yes       ;This prevents multiple charges placed on the same object.

    UnpackTime              = 5500         ;NOTE: Modifying this value will require modifying the delay for ColonelBurtonPlantCharge

    PackTime                = 0

    SkipPackingWithNoTarget = Yes          ;When yes, the packing/unpacking will be ignored when detonating charges.

    FlipOwnerAfterUnpacking = Yes

    FleeRangeAfterCompletion = 100.0        ;Runs away after finishing ability

    UnpackSound               = ColonelBurtonPlantCharge

    LoseStealthOnTrigger      = Yes

    PreTriggerUnstealthTime   = 5000; in milliseconds

  End



  Behavior = SpecialAbility ModuleTag_12

    SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityColonelBurtonTimedCharges

    UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes

    InitiateSound             = ColonelBurtonVoicePlantTimedCharge

  End



  Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_13

    SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityColonelBurtonTimedCharges

    StartAbilityRange = 0.0

    PreparationTime = 0

    SpecialObject = TimedC4Charge

    MaxSpecialObjects = 10

    SpecialObjectsPersistWhenOwnerDies = Yes 

    SpecialObjectsPersistent = Yes         ;Charges are persistent till lifetime expires or owner detonates them.

    UniqueSpecialObjectTargets = Yes       ;This prevents multiple charges placed on the same object.

    UnpackTime              = 5500         ;NOTE: Modifying this value will require modifying the delay for ColonelBurtonPlantCharge

    FlipOwnerAfterUnpacking = Yes

    FleeRangeAfterCompletion = 100.0        ;Runs away after finishing ability

    UnpackSound               = ColonelBurtonPlantCharge

    LoseStealthOnTrigger      = Yes

    PreTriggerUnstealthTime   = 5000; in milliseconds

  End

 

How do I get this to work?

I think the wrong part is in the command button/command sets part. Show me the codes of the command button and command sets of your new jarmen kell.

 

And if it's not about the com button/com sets. It might be because you set the wrong or forgot adding the specific parameter.

I don't need to make this mod any more, Zero Hour did it for me

 

Jarmen Kell automatically gets the demo charges in ZH.
