Next we go to Experiencelevels.ini
For this, if you are unsure of a power name, just ctrl+f the hero's name&level
e.g. i will ctrl+f (Gandalflevel10)
              
Code
ExperienceLevel    GandalfLevel10
    TargetNames                        =    GANDALF
    RequiredExperience                =    GANDALF_LVL10_EXP_NEEDED
    ExperienceAward                    =    GANDALF_LVL10_EXP_AWARD
    AttributeModifiers                =    HeroLevelUpDamage9
    Rank                            =    10
    Upgrades                        =    Upgrade_GandalfWordOfPower
    LevelUpFx                        =    FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX
    ;LevelUpOCL                        =    OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL
    SelectionDecal
        Texture                        =    decal_hero_good
        Style                        =    SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
        OpacityMin                    =    50%
        OpacityMax                    =    100%
        MinRadius                    =    40
        MaxRadius                    =    200    
        MaxSelectedUnits            =    40
    End    
END

mainly pay attention to the upgrade = (whatever power)
copy the upgrade, (in my case Upgrade_GandalfWordOfPower).
Now find the hero you want to add the power to (witch-king for me) and add the upgrade to any level.
e.g.
              
Code
Upgrade = Upgrade_HourOfTheWitchKing Upgrade_GandalfWordOfPower


Now for the commandset, go to your hero's ini (gandalf) copy the power you've just been adding and add it to your hero's commandset (witch-king)
so now my witch king will look like this:
              
Code
CommandSet AngmarWitchKingCommandSet
    1     = Command_MountHorseBlackRider
    2     = Command_AngmarWitchKingDreadWrath
    3     = Command_WitchkingMorgulBlade
    4    = Command_SpecialAbilityWkTerribleFury
    5     = Command_HourOfTheWitchKing
    6     = Command_SpecialAbilityWordOfPower    
12     = Command_CaptureBuilding    
    13     = Command_AttackMove
    14     = Command_Stop
    16     = Command_SetStanceBattle
    17     = Command_SetStanceAggressive
    18     = Command_SetStanceHoldGround
End


Thats it really, if you don't understand then comment or PM me.

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.

:D It works. Thx clank

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)
