Droideka doesn't want 2 spawn in space???

MasterSkywalker · Post by **MasterSkywalker** » Fri Jun 16, 2006 11:23 am

Hi, I'm putting in my map, "End of the Seperatist Movement" Droidekas, but my problem is, they don't want to spawn. I always get the "Their are way to many units on the battlefield" error but no Droideka's spawn. Where is my problem?? I just removed the point count on the Droideka, btw. this is my ES2_cmn.lua

Chill guys, it's not like we've posted a topic more than once on accident.

And you need to add a line called AddWalkerType(0, 4) --4 being the number of droidekas you want.

And you need to add a line called AddWalkerType(0, 4) --4 being the number of droidekas you want.

Then again you could always boost it more.

(Meaning you would have to boost up whichever is your Clone special unit.)

MaxHealth = "550.0"

As you see here, you notice that out of all the droids (except the Assault Droid), even Magnaguards, Pandemic gave droidekas more health. I know this may cool but in reality, droidekas don't have the best metal armor. If you have time Skywalker, I recommend dropping its health to 500 or slightly less (but not 300 because that's a health of a sniper)

BallJumpHeight = "1.27"

This explains that a droideka can jump. In reality, can a droideka in ball form really jump? In fact Skywalker, I think it's a bit unneccessary to give a droideka a "jump" because in space, there's no "stairs" or "cross-paths" that a droideka would need to cross. Then again I'm leaving this decision up to you. I believe to cancel an realistic droideka "jump", you give it a 0.

BallJumpForwardBoost = "1.25"

Same thing for the "BallJumpHeight"

RollTime = "0.50"

As you see hear, this determines when a droideka transforms into its ball mode. If you recall Episode 2, droidekas had to take their time to adjust their complex legs and arms into a ball form. In Battlefront 2, you may have notice that a droideka rolls too quickly, barely showing the unique transformation its parts (like the legs) change into. I recommend changing 0.5 to 0.8. You'll notice a significant change for a droideka. Again, you have the option to do this or not. I can only help you by making suggestions.

BallRadius = "0.65"

I'm not sure but I believe this determines how wide a droideka is when in ball mode. Maybe you can decrease it to "0.6". Again everyone, I only suggest.

To finally balance the droideka MasterSkywalker, you may need to look in this odf file: cis_weap_walk_droideka_shield

You'll see that Pandemic gave its shield a hyped 3000 health. Now ask yourself everyone. Doesn't this seem unrealistic for a small shield to equipped to a droideka? Why else do you think it takes so many grenades, EMPs, etc. to deplete the shield? Now hopefully everyone is following this and we must ask ourselves this question.

Is this unit overpowered? If yes, then should somebody reconfigure this one unit by toning it a little? If yes, then a health of 2400 gives the other players a fair chance to take down a droideka. Let's not use an excuse that the AI will suck towards these. That's the AI but not the real players.

Skywalker, you're a gifted mapper and I hope you consider these creative ideas. Never give up and follow others' examples of saying my ideas are terrible terrible terrible. Every idea must be given a chance and should at least be executed to their best ability.

I didn't say that didn't involve modding. I was only saying that this thread wass to ask why droideka's didn't spawn, not how to improve droidekas

Anyways, droideka's are easy as hell to take off, espiecially with a rifle. Why nerf them more?
