We now want to add the OCL to our objectcreationlist.ini file. Locate this file here \data\ini\objectcreationlist.ini Add this to the end of the existing file. OCL is used to create objects out of thin air based on conditions. They may be debris that flies off a building when you hit it, it could be blood when you hit a unit.

              

Code

; Create Sauron and troops out of thin air. ObjectCreationList OCL_SauronSummoning CreateObject ObjectNames = SauronAlly Count = 1 FadeIn = Yes FadeTime = 5000 IgnoreCommandPointLimit = Yes Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING Offset = X:0 Y:0 Z:0 ; Up in the air part comes from the Spellbook saying AboveLocation. This is just to spread them a bit. End CreateObject ObjectNames = SauronFighterHorde Count = 1 FadeIn = Yes FadeTime = 3000 IgnoreCommandPointLimit = Yes Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING Offset = X:-15 Y:15 Z:0 End CreateObject ObjectNames = SauronArcherHorde Count = 1 FadeIn = Yes FadeTime = 3000 IgnoreCommandPointLimit = Yes Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING Offset = X:15 Y:-15 Z:0 End End

I've chosen to create three objects when you summon Sauron. I want Sauron, a horde of goblin fighters, and a horde of goblin archers. Now remember these objects do not exist in the game. They were created by me so please see the attached zip file for these new objects. Creating new units is not the focus of this tutorial. That will be in another installment. New Units

Each object is named and in what quanity you want them. Count tells you the quanity. I do want them to fade in as that is appropriate for summon allies. FadeTime will tell us in ms how long it should take for them to materize.

I chose these setting to allow the goblins to show up 2 seconds before Sauron. Gives Sauron a chance to get his armor on before battle. :)

IgnoreCommandPointLimit = Yes. Well I decided Sauron can exceed commandpoint limits as all allies do. Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING This mean I want all of them to show up relative to each other. Namely where I placed the cursor to summon them.

Offset = X:0 Y:0 Z:0, Offset = X:-15 Y:15 Z:0, Offset = X:15 Y:-15 Z:0. I didn't want them to show up on top of each other so I set them to show up alittle off the x, y axis to give them enuff space to not be stepping on each other when they showed up.

Hopefully this will answer more questions than it creates. May this open a few new doors for people.
