Bling Bling!!

Now we get to the armor/weapons available to create-a-heroes, one of the powerful reasons to use them as a base for your hero. You will notice that in every object template I provide you will see the following code:

Code



    Behavior = SubObjectsUpgrade ModuleTag_ShowTheHero

        TriggeredBy        = Upgrade_ObjectLevel1 

;        ShowSubObjects        = [EnterSubObjectHere]

;        ShowSubObjects        = [EnterSubObjectHere]

;        ShowSubObjects        = [EnterSubObjectHere]

;        ShowSubObjects        = [EnterSubObjectHere]

;        ShowSubObjects        = [EnterSubObjectHere]

    End

This is used to pick and choose which subobject you wish to appear when playing. This upgrade is granted when the heo is created as it uses te level1 upgrade. Just uncomment each line you wish to use and replace [EnterSubObjectHere] with the name of the subobject. If you need more lines, just copy and paste one of the lines.

Once finished, your codes should look something like this:

Code



    Behavior = SubObjectsUpgrade ModuleTag_ShowTheHero

        TriggeredBy        = Upgrade_ObjectLevel1 

        ShowSubObjects        = GNLT_01

        ShowSubObjects        = SLDR_01

        ShowSubObjects        = HLMT_01

        ShowSubObjects        = BOOT_01

        ShowSubObjects        = HMR_01

    End

Well Ingwe, you'll have to do a few things to make that work. Frist you need to set the Weaponsets like this:

Code

    WeaponSet

        Conditions = None 

        Weapon = PRIMARY    [Your melee weapon]

        AutoChooseSources = PRIMARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI

    End    

    WeaponSet

        Conditions = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1        

        Weapon = PRIMARY    [Your bow]

        AutoChooseSources = PRIMARY FROM_PLAYER FROM_SCRIPT FROM_AI

    End

And then you have to add this:

Code



    Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_CreateAHeroMakeSureArcherUsesBowInitially

        TriggeredBy                        = Upgrade_ObjectLevel1

        GetUpgradeCommandButtonName        = Command_CreateAHero_A_ToggleWeapon

        RemoveUpgradeCommandButtonName    = Command_CreateAHero_A_ToggleWeapon

    End

And then make sure that that the hero gets the upgrade "Upgrade_ObjectLevel1" at level 1. If you want to put the weapon toggle at later levels I don't know what to do at the moment, but if you really want to I'll check it out.

can someone not mkae somthing like this for bfme1

Ingwe - Sunday March 2, 2008 - 2:44

Oh ok. Thanks. We figured some of the stuff out as well since then, at the time we were quite stumped. We (chrisbolling2 and me) spent five hours on figuring it out. ROFL. A lot of bling had to be eliminated LoL. Got the sword to turn to a normal bow too. But as far as using switch command set from bow to sword, haven't tried it quite yet.

Ingwe,
you have to use the code for the bling hiding:
HideSubObjects =
instead of doing:
Showsubobjects =

I figured that out myself when i was fooling around with the wizard CAH.

If you have noticed there is the 'shining' thing around your hero,
thats because its a dwarf:
you need to remove this part of the coding above the design parameters:

Code



    ;Draw module just for the HeroSelection

    Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw Icon

        ModelConditionState = NONE

            Model                    = Icon02

        End

    End

about your person shooting with a sword you should look in the CreateAHeroWeaponUpgrades.inc
at these 2 weapon things:
Belthronding Weapon upgrade.
MithlondBow Bow Weapon upgrade.

Im not sure how the toggle weapon thing for the archer CAH works so i can't help alot there...

Oh, and BTW, robnkarla the tutorial is great except for the points i adressed up there.
But without your tutorial i wouldn't have the fun heroes I made, so thanks for the great tutorial!

Having the same problem as Ingwe, started a topic in the forums. Tutorial seems a little incomplete to me.

Ingwe - Friday December 14, 2007 - 2:05

I applied this method with an Elven Archer custom hero. All the sounds are right. She has the same powers as Elrond does just because I didn't feel like messing with all that yet. She has a cool upgraded arrow that looks like a Silverthorne arrow (added my own weapon in weapon.ini). And (most) everything works great! Great tutorial. However, there are two problems when I applied this. For one thing, she shoots arrows...with a sword. For another thing, she has tons of bling. She has some kind of tan cape and a shield on the back along with a red hood. I want just a plain hero. I didn't add any bling to the file or anything but the bling is still there! I've searched for things to help on this problem but don't find anything on it. I usually don't like to put up posts asking for help because I like to figure this out myself; alas, I can't for the life of me figure it out. Help. :o

check out data\ini\mappedimages\

@aragon94: the reason why some commandbuttons is on the same pic is becuz there's a ini file which cut out small reas of the image and name it :P

aragon94 - Monday June 4, 2007 - 4:27

Ok, I found the portraits... But they are with the CommandButton images in the same pic!! Does anyone know how to make the portrait then??

aragon94 - Monday June 4, 2007 - 4:24

By the way, where is the art folder where you put the portrait into? I only find apt, not art.

I always wondered where the CommandButton images and the hero portraits are...
