Triggering Powers

On this page im going to show you how you can use the "triggered by feature in the docommandupgrade beahvior to automatically have the hero use his power

Im going to use Aragorn Use his Blade master ability once he reaches Level 7

First:
Put this in aragorn.ini
              
Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster
GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster
End


Second:
Put this in Upgrade.ini
              
Code

Upgrade Upgrade_UseBladeMaster
Type = OBJECT
End


Third and Finally:
GO to experiencelevels.ini and find this code:
              
Code

ExperienceLevel    AragornLevelMP7
TargetNames                        =    ARAGORN    
RequiredExperience                =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_NEEDED
ExperienceAward                    =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_AWARD     
LevelUpFx                        =    FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX
;LevelUpOCL                        =    OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL
Rank                            =    7
AttributeModifiers                =    HeroLevelUpDamage6
SelectionDecal
Texture                        =    decal_hero_good
    Style                        =    SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
    OpacityMin                    =    50%
    OpacityMax                    =    100%
    MinRadius                    =    40
    MaxRadius                    =    200
    MaxSelectedUnits            =    40
    End    
End


and add:

              
Code

Upgrades = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster


Above:

              
Code

SelectionDecal


it will look something like this:

              
Code

ExperienceLevel    AragornLevelMP7
TargetNames                        =    ARAGORN    
RequiredExperience                =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_NEEDED
ExperienceAward                    =    ARAGORN_LVL7_EXP_AWARD     
LevelUpFx                        =    FX:GandalfLevelUp1FX
;LevelUpOCL                        =    OCL_GandalfLevelUp1OCL
Rank                            =    7
AttributeModifiers                =    HeroLevelUpDamage6
Upgrades = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster
SelectionDecal
Texture                        =    decal_hero_good
    Style                        =    SHADOW_ALPHA_DECAL
    OpacityMin                    =    50%
    OpacityMax                    =    100%
    MinRadius                    =    40
    MaxRadius                    =    200
    MaxSelectedUnits            =    40
    End    
End


now i will go through what each file does...

experiencelevels.ini code:
              
Code

Upgrades = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster

tell the game that when aragorn reaches level 7 give him this upgrade:


aragorn.ini code
              
Code

Behavior = DoCommandUpgrade ModuleTag_UseSwordInitially
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_UseBladeMaster
GetUpgradeCommandButtonName = Command_SpecialAbilityBladeMaster
End

the TriggeredBy line tells that when this unit will do the GetUpgradeCommandButtonName when aragorn receives the upgrade "Upgrade_UseBladeMaster"

Upgrade.ini code
              
Code

Upgrade Upgrade_UseBladeMaster
Type = OBJECT
End


defines the upgrade referenced in experiencelevels.ini and in aragorn.ini
