Fambaa Shield?

So for Toola I want the shield generator to actually spit out a shield, probably the one from BF1's Naboo Fambaa. My question is, how would I do this? I copied over all the effects and ODF's from BF1 and set up the shield generator the same way it was in the shipped Naboo map (where the shield was a weapon).
Needless to say (as I wouldn't be posting a topic if it worked perfectly
) it didn't work. Could a Fambaa shield expert please help me out?

I am not sure, but I believe it has something to do with the ClassLabel line, if you change it to commandarmedanimatedbuilding instead of commandpost, it should work(at least that's how the fambaa was in the bf1 odf.).

The Fambaa needs to be it's own side since it's got animations.

Tean, have you got fambaa anims working?
Do tell!
I have them ingame with working shields, but no anims.

I don't want a Fambaa, I want the shield generator to put out a shield. Is it possible?

Without actually totally playing with this but looking at the ODFs for the fambaa and to use it for the Hoth Shield Generator you will have to change the class label to at least a commandarmedbuilding, I don't think you need the animated part but the other thing is as it is treated as a weapon you may need a hardpoint to attach it to. Look at the Buildingsection="turret1" in the fambaa odf. You may be able to get away with using one of the damage_hp in the shield generator it has five of them so you get a little less flame but you may get the shield.
As mentioned I am just surmising this from looking at the ODFs and actually haven't tried it so it is only theory

I'd suggest getting a working fambaa w/ shield ingame first. Once thats done all you need to do is replace the msh, and edit any hp references accordingly. It also might not line up right but its easy enough to either adjust the effect or move the object.

That makes sense with the damage_hp thing but I tested it and it doesn't work. I'll try PvtParts idea now.
EDIT: His didn't work either.

did you also copy over the nab1_weap_bldg_fambaa_generator.odf and nab1_weap_bldg_fambaa_shield.odf files?
Actually looking back at your odf I guess you did since you named it as the weapon
