Health types and points to unlock

woner11 · Post by **woner11** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:43 pm

1. Ok, so I am working on a map, and I am trying to build this thing called an aquatic trooper. Bascically a unit that can survive underwater. So I have added a damage region in the ZE which has a positive base number and a negative number for animal health. No other units are affected by the region. I changed the jettroopers health type to be animal, but the region has no affect and he still looses health. Here is his odf.

2. I have added a commando and a magnagaurd from the infantry side of the conversion pack assets. Both units are in and working fine. Th default has them both set to 18 points to unlock. I changed the value to 10, but nothing shows up. Also for the magnagaurd he has the add health funcion, but nothing happens. Do I need to clean this side and remunge? Here are the odfs.

clean+remunge and see if it works.

woner11 · Post by **woner11** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:52 pm

Are you absolutly sure, because I'm on a slow computer already and that entire proccess would normally take with the sides I have, 3 days.

Edit: Actually I could do a selective clean, that shouldn't take very long at all.

ryukaji · Post by **ryukaji** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:56 pm

3 days? wow
Well I think you might have to because things like this happen all the time with me.

EDIT: yeah, good idea

DarthD.U.C.K. · Post by **DarthD.U.C.K.** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 2:04 pm

are you shure, the damageregion works with negative numbers?

MandeRek · Post by **MandeRek** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 2:37 pm

You can also create water which is survivable by adding a precipitation file, making it look underwater, and add rainshadow regions where you DON"T want the water to be.. Still, if this works (what you're trying) then it's 10 times better

In order to fix that, make a .msh.option file for each new unit model (and if they have one already, open it in notepad) and insert -nocollision to it. Typically what slows down custom munges is that people forget to add that to the .option file and so the munge builds a poly-by-poly collision model instead of a basic one, which takes forever. I can't remember who discovered that, but I added it to all the Conversion Pack assets and munge time for a custom side went from 5 hours to about 10 minutes. No joke.

I've never posted it on GT, but I found it out for myself after waiting several hours for a munge.

woner11 · Post by **woner11** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:31 pm

I'm not sure if negative numbers work, I was just told by someone.

The only problem with that is I just want one particular unit to survive.

So just make the damagescale 0, instead of trying to make it heal them.

Taivyx · Post by **Taivyx** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:43 pm

Think you're confused, Mav, he's trying to make it survive in water.

MasterSaitek009 · Post by **MasterSaitek009** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:48 pm

This is for when you get the regions working but oh well. Make sure that a unit cannot stand halfway in the water and be healed.
Otherwise it's free health day.

I'm addressing the abovementioned. It's one of two viable options, the other being to adapt a healthrecharge prop to work based on a region assignment. E.g.:

Will that heal only one type of unit, or all my units that go in the water?

You can edit it to affect whatever you want. Any of the following powerups can be applied through a powerupstation .odf:

                                        BuffOffenseTimer
                                        BuffOffenseMult
                                        BuffDefenseTimer
                                        BuffDefenseMult
                                        BuffHealthTimer
                                        BuffHealthRate
                                        DebuffDamageTimer
                                        DebuffDamageRate

But yes, if this were under real water, your screen would still flash red, and unless you removed the powerup effect from the unit's .odf, it would show you being healed all the time, too.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there just one line you add? It's used for vehicles, dunno if it works for troops.

Oh yeah and someone probably already said how but you just put a line saying 'PointsToUnlock = 18'. I'm not sure about the caps though...
