You can use the docommandupgrade to do a neat trick with toggle weapons.

When a Hero/CAH/Unit Is built you can have him start with as he has just toggled weapon!

This is what the CAH Archer class uses so it starts with a Bow out instead of a sword...
              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_CreateAHeroMakeSureArcherUsesBowInitially TriggeredBy                        = Upgrade_CreateAHero_ClassArcher GetUpgradeCommandButtonName        = Command_CreateAHero_A_ToggleWeapon RemoveUpgradeCommandButtonName    = Command_CreateAHero_A_ToggleWeapon     End

what this Code is saying is that if if you are using the CAH class archer:
we want you to put the toggle button on the commandset if its not already there and do the toggle once and then take it of the commandset, unless it was already there.

(the character starts with a sword so if you removed the code createahero.ini he/she would start with a sword instead)


BUT.........................


If you were using this on say...faramir then it might look like this
              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially TriggeredBy = Upgrade_StartWithSword GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon End

(MUST put Upgrade_StartWithSword in the Proper Experience Level and define it in upgrade.ini, it dosent have to be Upgrade_StartWithSword it can be anything you want)
Basically This Code is Saying that when he is built he will automatcally toggle weapon once.

You still With Me???

Now... say you took the toggleweapon command off of faramir's commandset but you wanted to have him start with a sword (starts with bow by default)
you would need to add this line in the docommandupgrade behavior:
              

Code

RemoveUpgradeCommandButtonName    = Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon

so it would look like this:
              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially TriggeredBy = Upgrade_StartWithSword GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon RemoveUpgradeCommandButtonName    = Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon End

you could also just put the toggle weapon in the commandset assinged to a button number that is 7+

EX:
              

Code

CommandSet GondorFaramirCommandSet 1 = Command_ToggleStance 2 = Command_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; <<<command that replaces toggle weapon goes here 3 = Command_SpecialAbilityWoundArrow 4 = Command_ToggleMounted 5 = Command_FaramirFakeLeadershipButton 6 = Command_SpecialAbilityCaptainOfGondor 7 = Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon ; <<<<<toggle weapon goes in slot 7+ therefore does not appear in palantir 12 = Command_CaptureBuilding 13 = Command_AttackMove 14 = Command_Stop 16 = Command_SetStanceBattle 17 = Command_SetStanceAggressive 18 = Command_SetStanceHoldGround End

if you did it like this you would not need the line:
              

Code

RemoveUpgradeCommandButtonName    = Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon

That's it for toggle weapon!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here im going to show you how you can use the "triggered by feature in the docommandupgrade beahvior to automatically have the hero use his power

Im going to use Aragorn Use his Blade master ability once he reaches Level 7

First:
Put this in aragorn.ini
              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially TriggeredBy = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster End

Second:
Put this in Upgrade.ini
              

Code

Upgrade Upgrade_UseBladeMaster Type = OBJECT End

Third and Finally:
GO to experiencelevels.ini and find this code:
              

Code

ExperienceLevel    AragornLevelMP7 TargetNames                        =    ARAGORN     RequiredExperience                =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_NEEDED ExperienceAward                    =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_AWARD      LevelUpFx                        =    FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX ;LevelUpOCL                        =    OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL Rank                            =    7 AttributeModifiers                =    HeroLevelUpDamage6 SelectionDecal Texture                        =    decal_hero_good     Style                        =    SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL     OpacityMin                    =    50%     OpacityMax                    =    100%     MinRadius                    =    40     MaxRadius                    =    200     MaxSelectedUnits            =    40     End     End

and add:

              

Code

Upgrades = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster

Above:

              

Code

SelectionDecal

it will look something like this:

              

Code

ExperienceLevel    AragornLevelMP7 TargetNames                        =    ARAGORN     RequiredExperience                =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_NEEDED ExperienceAward                    =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_AWARD      LevelUpFx                        =    FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX ;LevelUpOCL                        =    OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL Rank                            =    7 AttributeModifiers                =    HeroLevelUpDamage6 Upgrades = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster SelectionDecal Texture                        =    decal_hero_good     Style                        =    SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL     OpacityMin                    =    50%     OpacityMax                    =    100%     MinRadius                    =    40     MaxRadius                    =    200     MaxSelectedUnits            =    40     End     End

now i will go through what each file does...

experiencelevels.ini code:
              

Code

Upgrades = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster

tell the game that when aragorn reaches level 7 give him this upgrade:


aragorn.ini code
              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially TriggeredBy = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster End

the TriggeredBy line tells that when this unit will do the GetUpgradeCommandButtonName when aragorn receives the upgrade "Upgrade_UseBladeMaster"

Upgrade.ini code
              

Code

Upgrade Upgrade_UseBladeMaster Type = OBJECT End

defines the upgrade referenced in experiencelevels.ini and in aragorn.ini

ADDED 1/7/2011

Here I'm going to show you how to make someone come with an upgrade when they are built but with some cool twists

              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Upgrade_IsengardForgedBlades End

/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ /\
this will automatically give the unit this upgrade when they are built

              

Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_ForgedBlades TriggeredBy = Upgrade_HardAIMultiPlayer GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Upgrade_IsengardForgedBlades End

the line i added here is the upgrade the AI gets when it is set to hard difficulty...
so if you add this to the isengard fighter and the computer to hard and as faction isengard when they build isengard fighters they will come with forged blades


Note:

I have not tested this personally, Nevertheless it should work...
I hope you enjoyed this article...PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND ANY MORE USES FOR THE DOCOMMANDUPGRADE BEHAVIOR SO I CAN LIST THEM!!!
