So you have a question? You can post it here!
Lol, the actual asking of a question is approximately <1% of the entire question process. - oddy
Ironically, this thread has decreased the quality of posts at SD, because now the smart people post here -Spitfire
Mwahahaha -Yeebaagooon
Mwahahaha (Again) -Yeebaagooon




An age has ended, the old question thread has reached the 2500th post, after the era's of King Jared, ArticWind7, Paperfriend and Yeebaagooon we are in need of a new thread. It has many advantages:

For one, this will keep the forum cleaner and it will be easier to read the remaining topics, and it will save space instead of threads asking questions about scenario design in the Age of Mythology community. I am sure many both great and less experienced designers will take the time to answer both your simple and harder questions, they might learn something new to..

So, post any and all questions about scripts, triggers, units, mapping, modding, really anything that is about something in the Age of Mythology universe, and the skilled designers in the Age of Mythology community will do their best to answer them.

Before you go any further, see if your question can be found amongst the following most frequently asked questions:
1. Where can I see the previous four threads?
Yeebaagooon's Thread
Paperfriend's Thread.
ArcticWind7's Thread.
King Jared's Thread.
2. How do you enlarge objects in the editor?
Press K on your keyboard to make objects bigger, and shift + K to make objects smaller (TT only).
3. How do I change units stats (HP, speed, attack)?
Use the 'Modify Protounit' effect (TT only), some units have different names in the list then in the game, a list of these units can be found here. For AoM (the original), you can use the effect 'Set Tech Status', and then grant technologies for the specific things you want to boost, this has some disadvantages however. (Thanks to I Love Bananas for the reminder).
4. How do I rotate units vertically?
You need to download reyks New Editor, this one if you play AoM (the original), and this one if you play The Titans. Then go to 'position objects' and a box will appear in the lower left corner. (Installing reyks New Editor does not cause drops in online play, and your fellow players don't need to have it to enjoy the final effects).
5. How do I make cinematics / zoom the camera out?
At first you need to unlock the camera, hold Ctrl + Alt + C on your keyboard to do so, now you can press + on your keyboard to zoom in, and - to zoom out, to change the angle or pitch, you can press A to go up and Z to go down. After that I will point you to a number of guides: This is the most basic guide: after that one, I advice you read this and this one. The first two are written by CheeZy and the last one by AoMPlayer000. For even more detail visit The Vandhaal website and go to: "Theatre of the Mind: AoM cinematics Valhalla". (Think about make a donation.)
6. How do I let a player build/train different cultures units/buildings?
The trigger 'Set Tech Status' and 'Unforbid and enable unit'. If you are going to grant a unit make sure you set a age 4 technology active.
7. How do I create infinite levelling?Greyshark has produced a very useful guide But I have found an easier way to do it
8. Help! My triggers have stopped working!
Triggers Stop Working Guide. Also using run immediately, linking camera tracks, sound timers and decimals in conditions like timer and distance to unit effect this.
9, Arrgghhh! Army deploy doesn't work online but its fine when I Playtest!
It dosnt work for computers. Deploy the army as player 1, and then use army convert to your desired player.


Recently, The Vandhaal has added a special FAQ. Use this if your question is not above. If still not answred post it here! (Cinematics)


If you still have any more questions, you can just ask them or you can check out the guides here or the Tsuniversity, here for AoM and here for TT. If you still would like to search for your question, there is the question thread compendium (currently incomplete).


Ask your questions!

That is not phrased very well. Pressing control and a number usually make the people selected an army and should not cause them to die, if you mean you want him to die when you press control and 1, try the condition Unit is in army/group.

Hope that helped .

He might have deleted the 2500th post from someone else, and used his post to quickly replace it. Obviously followed by a silent ban of the person who posted the first 2500th post, so nobody will ever remember him *cough*.

Penguin chat ninja,
Go to your Lose Condition trigger with the Army Is Dead condition and click show unit and see which unit (if any) it has set. CTRL+1 only makes the currently selected units, keyboard army 1 (unless you have changed your keys). Perhaps it's just a coincidence that you lost when you hit CTRL+1, when the unit that is actually set in the trigger really died somewhere else in the game.

I have a question. How do I make it so that the Unit Create At Unit trigger creates the unit where the target unit is when the trigger is fired, not where the target unit was at the start of the scenario?

@ Roxas, It should be included in the main game.

@ SOTK Maybe have it inactive and then use fire event?

in the downloads section there is a file with all the game sounds by nottud or someone else.

You could also open up the animation viewer for the object and look at the sound there, (then just stick .wav on the end and hey presto )
