Negative Leadership

In this tutorial i'll be teaching you to make a negative leadership that can affect enemies.
This can be used to weaken enemies by removing fear resistance,knockback resistance lowering attack and armor,stopping health recovery and even slowing the opponent.
The files you'll need are
Attributemodifier.ini
object.ini(the unit/hero your editing)
Commandbutton.ini,commandset.ini,experiencelevels.ini,specialpower and the other files needed to add abilities to the game.

Before you start make sure you know how to add abilities to units.

first up you'll need the leadsership code

              

Code

Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership StartsActive = Yes ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on. BonusName = WitchKingPassiveLeadership TriggeredBy = Upgrade_WitchKingLeadership RefreshDelay = 2000 Range = 600 AllowPowerWhenAttacking = Yes ObjectFilter = ANY +INFANTRY +CAVALRY +MONSTER -STRUCTURE -BASE_FOUNDATION -HERO End Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_TheodenLeadership SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership TriggeredBy = Upgrade_WitchKingLeadership End

This is the code from the Witch King's leadership.
There is no need to make a new special power at the moment.
In the AttributeModifierAuraUpdate add the following code

              

Code

TargetEnemy = Yes

this will now target enemies instead of allies.
Now to make the new attribute modifier i'll change the Bonus name to KhamulNegativeLeadership
so your code will look like this

              

Code

Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership StartsActive = Yes ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on. BonusName = KhamulNegativeLeadership TriggeredBy = Upgrade_WitchKingLeadership RefreshDelay = 2000 Range = 600 AllowPowerWhenAttacking = Yes         TargetEnemy = Yes ObjectFilter = ANY +INFANTRY +CAVALRY +MONSTER -STRUCTURE -BASE_FOUNDATION -HERO End Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_TheodenLeadership SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership TriggeredBy = Upgrade_WitchKingLeadership End

now we go to AttributeModifier.ini and create a new attribute modifier.

              

Code

ModifierList KhamulNegativeLeadership Category = LEADERSHIP Modifier = ARMOR -50% ; Additive. Sum of these are subtracted from all entries in Armor.ini     Modifier = RESIST_FEAR -100% Duration = 2500 ; Matches RefreshRate of giving module FX = FX_GenericLeadershipLvl1 FX2 = FX_GenericLeadershipLvl2 FX3 = FX_GenericLeadershipLvl3 MultiLevelFX = Yes End

This will reduce the armor and remove fear resistance for the enemy.
Now add the ability to CommandButton.ini,CommandSet.ini and experiencelevels.ini I won't show you how to do that here.
This should now work in game.
A few notes there is alternative method instead of adding the TargetEnemy code you can change the ObjectFilter by adding ENEMIES to the ObjectFilter.
              

Code

ObjectFilter = NONE ENEMIES +INFANTRY +CAVALRY

For the Attribute Modifier try out the following.
RESIST_FEAR - this removes fear resistance I haven't tested the full use of this yet i'm not sure if it works with Level 2 units(this is additive for a negative effect it has to be a negative percentage for instance -50%)
ARMOR - units take more damage (this is additive for a negative effect it has to be a negative percentage for instance -50%)
DAMAGE_MULT - units can do less damage (This is Multiplicitive so for a negative effect it would be under 100% ie. 50% would halve the Attack)
SPEED - slows down units and can even stop them in their tracks (this is additive for a negative effect it has to be a negative percentage for instance -50%)
RANGE (this is additive for a negative effect it has to be a negative percentage for instance -50%)
VISION (this is additive for a negative effect it has to be a negative percentage for instance -50%)
RESIST_KNOCKBACK (this is additive for a negative effect it has to be a negative percentage for instance -50%)

On a final note try adding the following code to remove other leaderships

              

Code

AntiCategory                = LEADERSHIP

I hope this helps coders get some more tools to play with to make better and more deverse mods with greater strategic playing if you have any questions please ask on the forums.
I'm also working on another similar tutorial on how to make a negative version of Glorious Charge.
