Nothing works as far as I know. I ended up changing my entire maps elevation to suit the deploy height of 4.0 (my map only ranges from 0.0 to 5.0 in elevation). It annoys me to no end

Quoted from nottud:

Talking about twitch - I was wondering when the extended version comes out about giving it a bit of a go - if it can record while in the editor even better maybe I could do some tutorials on some of my advanced stuff. (And even if not maybe I can get the tools to screen record) One of the reasons I not done so in the past is our internet speed was awful but we just got it recently upgraded.

I would tune in to see you program as well lol! (related to AoM of course). While I know a great deal of Java, C# seems to be the flavour of the AoM community so far. There are a lot of similarities in Java and C#, but not having an IDE for it really stunts my ability to keep up. Point is learning how the third party AoM stuff is done in C# would be really interesting as well as a great way to learn a new language.

Of course I would watch your other stuff as well ~ Milky

Another question for the amphibious unit, is it possible to check which direction the unit is facing and then create a unit there?

And something else that has to do with the vcs, ho can I add a small delay between this?

            trTechGodPower(0,"IncaPassiveCreation",1);
            trTechInvokeGodPower(0,"IncaPassiveCreation", kbUnitGetPosition(UnitID));
            trTechGodPower(0,"IncaPassive",1);
            trTechInvokeGodPower(0,"IncaPassive", kbUnitGetPosition(UnitID));

Atm they're cast at almost the same time causing the effect of the second gp to fail.

I'm trying to write a trigger which responds to the User's input, and on left mouse button click creates an output (be it a God Power, unit, etc.). It'd be nice to also have it cancel this action if right mouse button is clicked but that seems more complex and unnecessary for my goals.

I was redirected earlier to Zenos Third Person Shooter which seemed to be a step in the right direction but I couldn't figure out how to view the actual code/triggers he used as it involved some type of custom triggers I didn't know how to access (view the XML).

Is there a specific trigger I haven't found yet that tells the game to listen for a lmb click on location? Or do I need to go about this in a sort of roundabout way?

Milkman Matty: I use Visual Studio for C# and Eclipse for Java.

Spark941: I think he does it by pasting a unit at the current mouse location. Maybe adding a mouse hotkey which causes it to occur on a mouse click ingame is the answer needed.

Mad! I'll look into visual studio for my C# stuff ~ Milky

How do you disable myth unit specials? I found how to make it so they can't recharge, but not disable altogether.

will these old scenarios work on AoM: Extended?

As a general rule I think they do, but there could be exemptions.

On AOM:EE, I hate that the scroll wheel zooms in and out now. Does anyone know how to change that back to rotating the screen? Or is there some different hotkey that I'm missing?

Ctrl + mousewheel is rotating now

I should be able to make mouse wheel rotate again...

Does anyone know how to change that back to rotating the screen? Or is there some different hotkey that I'm missing?

The hotkey functions are the exact same as the previous game, so just go to your aom\startup\gamex.con

and add these at the end (?, I think later on replaces earlier function calls)

map("mousez", "world", "uiWheelRotate")
map("mousez", "strategicmap", "uiWheelRotate")

Be sure not to get rid of the current mouse wheel calls (just comment them out if they aren't overwritten by add // at the front of the line). I accidentally did that and now I can't bind them to a different hotkey.

Ctrl + Mousewheel doesn't let me scroll, not in the editor at least... and I have it enabled in the options before anyone asks ~ Milky

That works now thank you.


Also, in the editor, do any of you have terrain grids that look like this?

Yep - my terrain grid is broken too

I feel like I'm asking too many questions, if that's possible, but one last one.

Is there some other code I could add to my gamex.con file or a different way to let a and z change my pitch in the editor for making cinematics, etc? Like in (I believe) the editor superpack for AoM:TT

Why not just download nottud superpack? Subscribe to that badboy and enable it in the mod manager, then go to move unit in the editor and problem solved ~ Milky

I did! For some reason a few things won't work for me

I am looking for a multiplayer map but I dont't remeber the name, Sherlocks
There were four players that start with an ulfsark and would build defenses in the middle. Enemies then came down the four paths from the four corners and attack you. There were also bossfights. The map was eyecandied norse like.
Does anyone know what im talking about?

Is there a way in AoMEX currently to modify protounit and use a QV as the delta? I remember it being possible in AoM but I can't find the effect in AoMEX.

replace the delta field with trQuestVarGet("qvname").

You'll probably have to change the param type from float to string so you can enter in characters.

Also did anyone else notice that a lot of the snow objects don't have models anymore? ~ Milky

Edit: Nope actually they are just like SUPER-transparent. You can hardly even see them. I'll give a cookie to the person that mods back in the original ones.

Oh, I had a whole scenario that worked around those being opaque and easy to see. At least it wasn't a very good one.

@Zhaka Mu: I think I know what scenario you speak of, but I can't remember its name either. It's a very small map in which you have to defend a fortress in the center of the map, right? I think it had a simple name like Fortress Defence or Castle Defence?

Tasterix did make a 6 or 7 player map similar to that.

the lost village perhaps?

Edit: village of nowhere silly me.
