Crushing Special Ability

This is a 2 part tutorial that will teach you how to make a special power that causes infantry units or heroes to crush while active.

Part 1 Hero:

For this example I'm using Grishnakh and his Wolf Run skill.
The ability works like a regular hero mode power like Blade Master except it gives an extra effect it allows an infantry unit to crush enemies.
Essentially it is a power that makes the infantry unit pretend to be cavalry.

First off just a normal hero mode power.

Code

    

    Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_WolfRun

        SpecialPowerTemplate    = SpecialAbilityWolfRun

        TriggeredBy        = Upgrade_HeroLevel7

    End

      Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_WolfRunStarter

        SpecialPowerTemplate    = SpecialAbilityWolfRun

        StartsPaused            = Yes

        AttributeModifier        = WolfRun

        AttributeModifierAffectsSelf = Yes

    End

    Behavior = HeroModeSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_WolfRunUpdate

        SpecialPowerTemplate    = SpecialAbilityWolfRun

        HeroEffectDuration        = 10000

        UnpackTime              = 1

    End

Next you need to add a mount toggle, this is one of the thing required to pull off the crush.

Code



     Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_HackCrushStarter

         SpecialPowerTemplate      = SpecialAbilityToggleMounted

         UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = Yes

         ;InitiateSound           = 

         StartsPaused = No

     End



    Behavior = ToggleMountedSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_HackCrush

         SpecialPowerTemplate    = SpecialAbilityToggleMounted

         UnpackTime              = 2000

         PreparationTime         = 1  

         PersistentPrepTime      = 250

         PackTime                = 2000

         OpacityTarget            = .3        ; How see-thru to be at peak of change 

         AwardXPForTriggering    = 0

    End

Next you'll need a locomotor just copy the SET_NORMAL one and change SET_NORMAL to SET_MOUNTED
Everything else should be the same.

Code



    LocomotorSet

        Locomotor = HumanLocomotor

        Condition = SET_MOUNTED 

        Speed     = NORMAL_EVIL_HERO_SPEED

    End

Next you'll want to go up and change the crush settings.

Code

    

    CrusherLevel = 0            ;Can I crush anything?

    MountedCrusherLevel = 1        ;Crush level when mounted.

    CrushableLevel = 2            ;What am I?:        0 = for infantry, 1 = for trees, 2 = cavalry/heroes

    MountedCrushableLevel = 2    ;Crusable level when mounted.



    CrushWeapon        = HeroCrush  



    MinCrushVelocityPercent = 50 ; Has to be moving at at least 50% of full speed.

    CrushDecelerationPercent = 30 ; Lose xx percent of max velocity when crushing.

    

    CrushKnockback = 40

    CrushZFactor = 1.0

These are your basic crush settings for a mounted hero.

The final step is over in Attributemodifier.ini

Code



ModifierList WolfRun

Category = SPELL

    Modifier = CRUSH_DECELERATE 0%  

    Modifier = SPEED 150%    

    ModelCondition = MOUNTED

    Duration = 20000

End

In your attmod for the hero mode simply add the MOUNTED Model Condition.
This will trigger the mount toggle and the locomotor as well as the mounted crush.
Now your hero will bowl over enemies as he charges.

Part 2 will adapt this for a horde.
