Converting Certain Objects
Level: Beginner

Needed:
'Your Hero'.ini *The hero you will be editing

This short tutorial will show you how to make your Convert power only affect certain objects. Open up your hero's ini, and paste this piece of code:
              
Code

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------    
// CONVERT SPECIAL POWER LEVEL 2//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------    
Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_ConvertEnemyEnabler_L2
    SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityConvertEnemy_L2
    TriggeredBy             = Upgrade_CreateAHeroConvert_Level2
End

Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_ConvertEnemySpecialPowerModule_L2
    SpecialPowerTemplate     = SpecialAbilityConvertEnemy_L2
    StartsPaused             = Yes
    UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes
//        InitiateSound             = SarumanVoiceDominate
End

Behavior = DominateEnemySpecialPower ModuleTag_ConvertEnemySpecialPower_L2
SpecialPowerTemplate        = SpecialAbilityConvertEnemy_L2
    UnpackingVariation            = 2
    StartAbilityRange            = 200.0
    
    DominateRadius                = 100 //100 //150
    DominatedFX                    = FX_SarumanDominateTargets
    TriggerFX                    = FX_CreateaHeroConvert
    PermanentlyConvert            = Yes
    UnpackTime                    = 2000
    PreparationTime                = 1
    FreezeAfterTriggerDuration    = 2500 // Hold AI for this long after we fire.        
    AttributeModifierAffects    = ALL
End

Now look at this piece of code:
              
Code
AttributeModifierAffects    = ALL -DOZER -HERO -STRUCTURE -ARMY_OF_DEAD -MOVE_ONLY ENEMIES NEUTRAL

This code makes sure you can convert anything except, heroes, structures, the army of the dead, move-only enemies, and neutral, dozer means porters.
We can also do that this convert spell can convert structures, by removing the '-STRUCTURE' line. That also works for the rest of the things listed up there.

Certain Objects Can Not Be Converted

Now we will focus on making the convert spell not be able to convert certain units or buildings, for example if we want our convert spell not to work on goblin fighters we have to add this to the code:
              
Code
AttributeModifierAffects    = ALL -DOZER -HERO -STRUCTURE -ARMY_OF_DEAD -MOVE_ONLY ENEMIES NEUTRAL -GoblinFighterHorde

The goblinfighterhorde was just for an example you can do that with any object.

That's it for this tutorial, I will expand it when I find out more about this.

I gave a 5
1) A lot off effort just to help others which i love to see a lot.
2) Can i hav some help with Summon Balrog, when i try to play it crashes and the upgrade.ini isnt right

That means the thing that is filled in at Attackrange in the weapon is wrong.

Or the macro there doesnt exsist or the characters filled in are wrong.

SkillModLord - Friday August 20, 2010 - 0:02

Weapon.ini

That part where you combine woundarrow with Word of Power goes wrong.

When I put the piece of code you written there in my weapon.ini and correct it as you said, I try to start up the game and it says that attacktange in the file weapon.ini isnt good. I try to put other command first under the wounding arrow but then the the same bug appears with the new command first :S

This was pretty awesome guide and it helped me to fix up my powers. But I think I need help. I've set up my hero so that he can summon a BlackRider (Ringwraith w/e) at level 10. When my character gets to level 10, Blackrider icon lights up like it's usable. But when I click it, nothing happens. I don't get the little summoning area thing. What'd I do wrong?

Ridder Blauw - Friday September 11, 2009 - 10:02

Yes.

drogoth232 - Wednesday September 9, 2009 - 14:07

Ridder Blauw - Wednesday August 19, 2009 - 8:34

Ridder Blauw - Sunday May 10, 2009 - 22:26

The code calls them dozers in the code block DOZER_CONSTRUCT don't they?

Didn't get at first why you brought it up, so would you forgive me.
And thanks.

DOZERs are Builder/Porters
