Page 2 - Understanding Leadership

this is a code bit from theoden.ini

Code



Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership

        StartsActive        = No ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on.

        BonusName        = GenericHeroLeadership

        TriggeredBy        = Upgrade_TheodenLeadership

        RefreshDelay        = 2000

        Range            = 200

        AntiCategory    = BUFF

        ObjectFilter        = GENERIC_BUFF_RECIPIENT_OBJECT_FILTER

    End

    

    Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_TheodenLeadership

        SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership

        TriggeredBy = Upgrade_TheodenLeadership

    End

    Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_TheodenLeadershipUpdate   

        SpecialPowerTemplate   = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership

        UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = No

        StartsPaused = Yes

    End

Code



Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_Leadership

the "AttributeModifierAuraUpdate" lets the game know that the attribute modifier will keep updating.
the "ModuleTag_Leadership" is a reference to something later in the script

Code



BonusName        = GenericHeroLeadership

this is the reference to attribute modifier (we will get to that soon)

Code



TriggeredBy        = Upgrade_TheodenLeadership

this is the reference to the upgrade.ini, it's used in experiencelevels.ini so that it knows that it knows that when yiou reach a certain level you can use this ability

Code



Range            = 200

This is how far for the hero that the leadership effects

Code



AntiCategory    = BUFF

Buff= it will boost stats (leadersip)
debuff= it will decrease stats(angmar sorcrers "well of souls")
Note: must be the same as in attributemodifier.ini

Code



ObjectFilter        = GENERIC_BUFF_RECIPIENT_OBJECT_FILTER

This is the reference to gamedata.ini
it says who it will effect
ex: the leadership wil only effect calvary as in eomers horse lord leadership (we will get into that on the 4th page)

Code



Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_TheodenLeadership

        SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership

        TriggeredBy = Upgrade_TheodenLeadership

    End

this is the place where the game goes to find the upgrade (triggeredby) and what kind of power it is (specialpowertemplate)(reference to specialpower.ini

Code



Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_TheodenLeadershipUpdate   

        SpecialPowerTemplate   = SpecialAbilityFakeLeadership

        UpdateModuleStartsAttack  = No

        StartsPaused = Yes

    End

this is the the code that lets the game know when you are not the required level the leadership will not turn on and when you do have the required level it will turn on (the update module is a reference to the code above

I'll deal with this in my own tutorial I'm hopefully going to write in the near future, if time is on my side.

You know, this isn't really "Intermediate". Everything you wrote on page 5 can simply be found at the top of the attributemodifier.ini and is as well explained there, and most of the other stuff is quite easy to figure out even for a beginner. Also you're just scratching the surface of an attribute modifier's true potential.
