I blieve you will need a jedi's animation to use a lightsaber
Use something like

Code: Select all

AnimationName           = "obiwan"

oh he can use the saber, the ai just dont use it...

Is there a .combo in your side folder?

So its just the AI that dont use a saber?

Precisely, all he does is jump and shock.

well try copying the jedi odf and see if that works and also try another animation

No, I'm pretty sure it's just the AI. (You'll also notice that AI Emperor and Count Dooku hardly ever do anything but block, jump, and lightning)

ryukaji · Post by **ryukaji** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 2:30 pm

But the AI for obiwan and luke and others will attack lots with a lightsaber

This is kinda noncense ryukaji.. Have we ever played Hero Assault? You'll see flying lightsabers, mostly from Anakin, Obi, Maul etc., and you just know that Dooku and Sidious will ALWAYS use force Lightning.

There is a line for the odf, saying if AI will use it or not.. I don't know this line, maybe Mav' knows it. If there isn't a line, try changing the slots, so make Force Lightning the second weapon in the secondary slot (so WEAPONSECTION = 3, etc)

Good luck

Edit: I noticed it is the third slot already.. Then i ask support from someone who knows odf lines

Just set the AI behavior to not use force lightning or throw. I haven't been able to find a happy middle ground; the best mix of AI behavior (in this scenario) is to tell them not to use anything but the actual saber melee.

Actually.. I hardly ever play I just like modding. Its been a while since I played hero assault, and I thought I remembered seeing lightsabers used normally

Ok, but how do we do that?

Code: Select all

AITargetPerson        = "0"
AITargetAnimal        = "0"
AITargetDroid         = "0"
AITargetVehicle       = "0"
AITargetBuilding      = "0"

wouldnt that make them not attack at all?

This goes in the weapon odf, right?

Right. And yes, it makes them "not attack at all," but only with the weapon in question.

(Technically, it just makes it very highly unlikely for them to use it. I seem to recall AI choosing to ignore these on rare occasion.)
