@spin (do you use that name in every forum? I think I might know you from somewhere) - Make sure you aren't deploy Mother Nature Units in MP. THat doesn't work. It has to be a player besides Nature. Also be sure you have enough room where you set the area (no cliffs).

You might know me as flamethrower at another forum.

Anyways, I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. If you don't mind, perhaps you can email me the map at pftq@sbcglobal.net and I'll take a look.

But here's a quick checklist incase:

1) You have checked that the "count" field is not 0.

2) The army isn't Nature's army. (just incase)

Question time.

I didn't know where to put this, so I really apologize if this is in the wrong thread/forum. Anyway, I can't find an Object Editor for TT. I've got one for AoM, but that doesn't help me at all. I've searched over quite a few sites and still haven't found one... anyone got a link?

Cheers in advance.

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me

Check the Modding Forum. That's where all the object/unit making is.

is there a way of slowing down the rate in which a unit recovers it's health.

it's not in modi proto or am i horribly blind?

Quest Var is the same as QV. So you're looking for QV Check

Slickman: There's no modify for that. You have to have the following trigger:

RUN IMMEDIATELY. HIGHEST PRIORITY
CONDITION: Timer # (The regeneration rate)
EFFECT: Damage Unit/Damage Units in Area, Set Damage at how much HP is regained at every loop.

On the effect:

Damage Unit - use if you have one of that unit.

Damage Units in Area - Use if you have multiple of that unit. Set the radius as the MAP SIZE.

Considering pftq's topic on the 'infinate' resources, I've wondered how I can do the same for wood.

I obviously can't have the trees fall over again, or reappear at all for that matter.

SOOO......

Is there a way to order(via triggers, of course) villagers to gather from an earlier invoked Gaia Forest god power?

Go to trigger, effect should be "Cinematic mode". Turn it "On". Then it will go to cinematic mode. Remember to set a trigger to turn it off when the track ends.

I need to know if my following assumption is correct.

In a cinematic I use the trigger effect: Force non cinematic models.

It is set to ON.

I first thought that this effect would make sure that NO cinematic models and skins where used by the game (So all units would stay as in the game)

However it is not working with the skins.

I assume now that it is just working for models.

So for example Kamos on the back of the laviathan will not be visible by using this effect but Kastor his blocky image will change into his smooth cinematic skin.

Is the above assumption correct ?
And if so are there perhaps other triggerbased possibilities to block cinematic skins?

Best regards,

The Vandhaal

I can't even back up out of the sound folder. Dunno what you're talking about.

Why don't you just cut and paste your sound to the sound folder?

@ pftq

I think he means that the editor sometimes "crashes" when you select a soundfile with the play soundfile trigger....After the "crash" the editor closes and you will be directed to the main menu.

and indeed you cannot back out of the aom soundfolder..you can only add extra folders in it and browse around among them.

say pftq do you know an answer to my question 3 or 4 post below (about force non cine models) ?

about the audio files I think the best thing to do to avoid the crash of the editor is to write directly the "location" of the files in the sound folder in soundfile effect without using the browse function. Maybe this method needs more time but in this way the editor never crashes.

I've notice the same thing during the realization of the Lost Legion: units like Arkantos or Hersis despite the trigger effect force non cinematic models set to ON keep their cinematic texture.
Unfortunately my modding knoledge is inexistent and I can't give you an answer....

Thanx Oscar and Centurion,

I think my assumption is right. The models in that effect mean models and not skins.

So like said before the kamos on the back of the laviathan will not be shown when using this effect but the cinematic skins of units will be shown.

Probably a modder or someone who is more into the tech stuff can confirm this.

Well anyway I have to work around it

nice and simple:
can you attack a unit whilst it is doing an animation?

Yes you can attack a unit while it's doing an animation.

i want a unit to patrol 4 points, To do this i used...

TRIGGER 122
condition
-timer

effect
- move to unit -cinematic block 1
fire event- trigger 123

TRIGGER 123.
condition
-distance to unit <=2 (cinematic block 1)

effect
-move to unit- cinematic block 2
fire event- trigger 124

TRIGGER 124.
condition
-distance to unit (cinematic block 2)

effct
-move to unit- cinematic block (cinematic block 3)

then there is another trigger which follows this pattern.

I am obviously massivly confused an need some help.
does anyone know what i can do to make the unit move to 4 points REPEATEDLY?
