Fist off, I know that GothmogTheOrc has a tutorial just like this but he set it out for BFME1 and lots of people were getting confused as the names of some powers changed in BFME2/ROTWK.
In this tutorial, i will show you how to get the Witch-King (Angmar) to use Gandalfs Word of Power. The way i set out tutorials first is that i don't do the code for you as you will learn nothing except for copying and pasting skills ;) Lets begin.

This is kind of redundant.
The idea of GtO's tutorial was to show how code in basic special powers.
It's the same for both games.

I'm a credit of this? Never noticed.

modboy451 - Saturday December 18, 2010 - 13:43

thats because

Code



;;; WORD OF POWER ANIMS ON FOOT ;;;

        AnimationState        =  SPECIAL_WEAPON_ONE

            StateName = Attacking

            Animation

                AnimationName           = GUGandalfG_SKL.GUGandalfG_SPCK

                AnimationMode       = ONCE

            End

            FXEvent            = Frame:5 Name:FX_GandalfPreAttackBlast

        End

has the flag: SPECIAL_POWER_ONE
so does:

Code



;;; FIRE BALL SPECIAL POWER ;;;

        AnimationState          = SPECIAL_WEAPON_ONE

            Animation                = Throwing Fireball

                AnimationName        = IUSaruman_ATKB

                AnimationMode        = ONCE

            End

            FrameForPristineBonePositions = 27

        End

the fire ball and the Word of power ability
both ar flagged with SPECIAL_POWER_ONE flag...i don't know where you go to change it...
but that is why you get that glitch...

@Modboy451
It worked fine for me except wen i used fireball he started with Word of Power but then the ball came out. Otherwise i have had no problmes with it

--------

sorry for double post,
also, this tutorial isn't meant to teach people how to model

modboy451 - Saturday December 11, 2010 - 15:46

Note: To Clank...
ERROR!!!

ANIMATIONS FROM OTHER UNITS WILL NOT WORK UNLESS THE MODEL IS BOUND TO THAT SKL!!!

EX:

Celeborn's (childobject at bottom of elrond.ini)animations/skl are the same as Elrond's so if you take one from elronds and add it to celeborn it WILL work...BUT...

gandalfs and thw which king's SKL are not the same of you add the animation listed above you might crash your game or make you unit stand funny like you see while modeling it(arms sticking out) if you want the animations to work you have to bind the model you want to use to Gandalfs SKL and use a model conditions state where he changes models and skeletons and then put that animations under that (flag the condition state and the animation with USER_# (i know 1 and 2 work for sure but some units already use that flag for something else)
