I was messing around my units odf, and i wanted to add a passive shield to him. So i looked on GT and found this:
http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 70#p247570
i wanted it with the bubble, so i tried adding PsYcH0_]-[aMsT3r's odf to my unit's:

• [WeaponClass]
  
  ClassLabel = "shield"
  
  [Properties]
  HUDTag = "hud_droideka_shield"
  Label = "Shield"
  
  RoundsPerClip = "1"
  ReloadTime = "0.0"
  
  MaxShield = 3000
  AddShield = -100
  AddShieldOff = 300
  
  ShieldOffset = "0.0 1.0 0.125"
  ShieldRadius = 0
  
  FireSound = "cis_droideka_shield_on"
  FireEmptySound = ""
  FireLoopSound = ""
  ReloadSound = ""
  ChargeSound = ""
  ChangeModeSound = ""
  WeaponChangeSound = ""
  //ShieldSound = "cis_droideka_shield"
  //ShieldSound = "droid_fx7_hum"
  ShieldOffSound = ""
  
  ShieldEffect = "droidekashield"

However, when I tried this, it didn't work. I still get the Shield, but no bubble I messed around with it more, and still no bubble. Any help on this would be great thanks

maybe you dont load the actual effect/model of the shield..

He did, look at the bottom of his odf.

yeah, i added the effect, here is my unit's odf(changed) what am i doing wrong

i meant loading in the memory by the .lua

Uh.... , so how would i do that?

probably because it's the wrong odf line.

WeaponShield
MaxShield
AddShield
AddShieldOff
ShieldOffset
ShieldRadius xyz
ShieldEffect
ShieldSound
ShieldOffSound

These are weapon properties.

either by putting it into your sides effectsfolder or by loading the droideka in the lua

well, i tried this, but im still getting the same thing. the effects are there, but no blue bubble.
here is the new unit odf(im only showing the parts you need to see:D)

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "all_inf_default"


[Properties]
UnitType = "Trooper"

MaxHealth = 2000.0

WeaponShield ="cis_droideka_shield"
MaxShield =3000
AddShield =25
AddShieldOff =300
ShieldOffset ="0.0 1.0 0.125"
ShieldRadius xyz =1.25
ShieldEffect = "droidekashield"
ShieldSound ="cis_droideka_shield"
ShieldOffSound = "droid_fx7_hum"
Btw Darth duck, Im not sure what your talking about. Move what to where?

copy the droidekashieldeffect-stuff from the effectsfolder of the cis side to the effects folder of your side
if you didnt do that and you dont load a droideka the shieldeffect cant work because the effects was never loaded

It didn't work i added everything from the cis effects folder, which included this
cis_droideka_shield
cis_inf_droideka_shield
droidekashield
The 2 first ones should be the shield model, so idk whats going on. i also tried adding the files to /sides/common/effects, and data_*** Common/effects. still nothing

you put them in your sides effectfolder?

DarthD.U.C.K. wrote:you put them in your sides effectfolder?

Yes, i did. i tried lots of stuff:P i'm still getting the shield, with the effects, but i'm STILL not getting the model(bubble) over him.

Why don't you have in your units odf?

Hidden/Spoiler:

WEAPONSECTION = "2"

WeaponName = "cis_weap_walk_droideka_shield"
WeaponAmmo = "0"

in your units odf?

well, i did this and i got a VERY strange result:P
first of all, now my shield isn't passive anymore
second, THE BUBBLE COMES UP WOOT! but, it activates when i shoot my rifle, and deactivates when i shoot it again.http://www.xfire.com/video/3276ef/
also, when i try to swich weapons back to the rifle gun from the sniper gun, game crash. Here is the unit odf. Please hide large bodies of text/code, -Staff

this
WEAPONSECTION = "6"

WeaponName = "cis_weap_walk_droideka_shield"
WeaponAmmo = "0"

should be this

WEAPONSECTION = "6"

WeaponName = "cis_weap_walk_droideka_shield"
WeaponAmmo = "0"
WeaponChannel = 1

WeaponAmmo = "0"

yes, this works fine as another weapon, but as i said at the beginning, i want the shield passive.aka it works in the backround, without the player having to turn it on


EDIT
lol, while this is still up, is there anyway to change the shield Geometry?

yes, change the msh the effect uses (the one in the effects-folder)

DarthD.U.C.K. wrote:yes, change the msh the effect uses (the one in the effects-folder)

and this is cis_droideka_shield.msh right? It didn't work

EDIT
Here is a good question GT. Is there a way to change the droideka shield geometry? like make the shield In-game something else(like change it from the bubble shield model to a human model or something)? Ive tried EVERYTHING,and I mean everything, and I can't seem to get it to work
Thanks in advance for the help!
