This first part I'll be using the Radiance ability from my Radiance tutorial to create a spell that freezes enemies in place and does damage
over time till the spell runs out.
In Lone Wolf mod this ability is Ring of Shadows or ROS for short.
This is what I'll refer to this ability as from here on.

First you need your ping

              

Code

Object ShadowRingPing EvaEnemyUnitSightedEvent = None ; Not a real unit ; ***DESIGN parameters *** VisionRange = 75.0 EditorSorting = SYSTEM KindOf = NO_COLLIDE IMMOBILE UNATTACKABLE IGNORE_FOR_VICTORY IGNORE_FOR_EVA_SPEECH_POSITION MOVE_ONLY ;INERT ThreatLevel = 0 ; *** ENGINEERING Parameters *** Body = ActiveBody ModuleTag_01 MaxHealth = 999999 InitialHealth = 999999 End ;;; ???? I don't think this works right -- shouldn't it be a DeletionUpdate? ;;; LifetimeUpdate can't kill ImmortalBody Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_LifetimeUpdate MinLifetime = 20000 MaxLifetime = 20000 End End

This ping is very basic and only reveals the a small area and runs out after a while.

Next we need to add the Attribute modifier to create a negative leadership to pin the units in place.
(For more on Negative leaderships check out my tutorial)

              

Code

; Gives ally trrops bonus Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_TroopBonus StartsActive = Yes ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on. BonusName = ShadowRing RefreshDelay = 3000 Range = 100 TargetEnemy = Yes ObjectFilter = ANY ENEMIES +INFANTRY +ORC +URUK +CAVALRY -STRUCTURE -BASE_FOUNDATION +HERO End

This effects all infantry,heroes and cavalry caught in a 100 range of the centre of the spell and stops them from going anywhere.
Just paste this in under the LifetimeUpdate.


Next is the Radiance ability.
I won't show how to code that here so check out the Radiance tutorial for the rest of this part.
Paste the following under the AttributeModifierAuraUpdate part.

              

Code

Behavior = FireWeaponUpdate ModuleTag_radi;radiance Weapon = GurgukRadianceWeapon End

This is all very simple next head over to AttributeModifier.ini
and put something like the following

              

Code

ModifierList ShadowRing Category = LEADERSHIP Modifier = SPEED 0% ; multiplier - 0% means max speed is 0. jba Duration = 3000 ;WARNING if you change this you must change the system life of the FX below (FXList.ini) ClearModelCondition = MOVING ; Make him stop moving... NOW! ;FX = FX_yourfx End

This basically has the same effect as Lurtz' cripple.

Now just add the ping to a OCLSpecialPower in the hero's/spell store's code.
Which I'm sure you can figure out yourself.

In my version I added in some FX but you can make your own.
Pings can have drawmodules just like other units.

This is the first part and the simplest example of ping coding but creates a cool spell.
In Part 2 I will show you how to code the Avenge the King power from my mod.
So head on over to page 3.
