Adding Blade Master to another Hero Tutorial

To add the special power Blade Master that Aragorn has to other heroes you will have to copy the following codes. For this Tutorial I will add Blade Master to Boromir.

(Boromir.ini)
---at top of unit animation data---

Code

ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE USER_3

ParticleSysBone = BAT_RIBS BladeMaster FollowBone:Yes

ParticleSysBone = BAT_HEAD AragornElendill FollowBone:Yes

End



ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE

ParticleSysBone = BAT_RIBS BladeMaster FollowBone:Yes

End



ModelConditionState = USER_3

ParticleSysBone = BAT_HEAD AragornElendill FollowBone:Yes

End

---at end of "AnimationState" list---

Code

AnimationState = FIRING_OR_PREATTACK_A WEAPONSET_HERO_MODE ; Blademaster Mode

StateName = STATE_ready

Animation = GUBoromir_ATD1

AnimationName = GUBoromir_SKL.GUBoromir_ATKB 

AnimationMode = ONCE

UseWeaponTiming = Yes

End

Flags = RESTART_ANIM_WHEN_COMPLETE

FXEvent = Frame:25 Name: FX_BladeMasterHitOrient

FXEvent = Frame:45 Name: FX_BladeMasterHitOrient

End

---At end of "Behavior" block---

Code

Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_AragornBladeMasterEnabler

SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAragornBladeMaster

TriggeredBy = Upgrade_AragornBladeMaster

End



Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_AragornBladeMasterStarter ; SpecialAbility is a SpecialPower, SpecialPower is anyting special

SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAragornBladeMaster

StartsPaused = Yes

End



Behavior = HeroModeSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_AragornBladeMasterUpdate ; So the difference in SpecialAbility is that it takes timing from this Update, instead of simply firing.

SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityAragornBladeMaster

HeroAttributeModifier = AragornBladeMaster

HeroEffectDuration = 30000 ; this should sync with the auto ability delay re-fire time in commandButtons.ini

UnpackTime = 1 ; insant unpack

TriggerSound = AragornBladeMaster

End

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

(in ExperienceLevels.ini)

Add this to Boromir's Upgrades at the level of your choice:

Code

Upgrade_AragornBladeMaster

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

Next you will need to go to CommandSet.ini. Once there you will need to search (Ctrl + F) for Boromir and add this code to his command set:

Code

X = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster

You'll have to change the 'X' infront of the code to a number Boromir doesn't already have...

My Boromir command set look like this:

(Note the Blademaster at spot number 2)

Code

CommandSet BoromirCommandSet

1 = Command_SpecialAbilityHornOfGondor

2 = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster

3 = Command_SpecialAbilityBoromirForGondor

4 = Command_SpecialAbilityCaptainOfGondorBoromir

13 = Command_AttackMove

14 = Command_Stop

15 = Command_Guard

End

That should do it... your hero can now use the Blademaster power.

I just sais what was wrong. Error with line 788 in CommandSet.ini the line that says 3 = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster.

What was the error? It should give a message and point out exactly what is wrong.
Error messages aren't made for hastily clicking them away you know ;-)

I tried this and found it only caused a fatal error which had some thing to do with line 788 in CommandSet.ini the line that says 3 = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster. Why would it do this?

For specific questions not related to the tutorial you'd be better off asking at the forums as this is more for quick comments or quick questions, which that is not ;) In any event, you should be able to figure out the answer by looking at lurtz code... it's almost exactly the same as blademaster.
