Note: This is the original method developed to mount the WitchKing. However, it should be possible to mount him as the other heroes mount simply replacing the horse codes with the fellbeast codes. Also, this method by Vapula has the flaw that the witchking is killed each time he mounts/dismounts thus you can not make him change experience levels and gain powers over time. What he starts with is what he gets. Mount/Unmount Fellbeast Written by: Vapula This tutorial explains you how to make your Witch-king be able to mount/unmount a fellbeast (toggle fellbeast). Before going any further I have to mention that this toggle fellbeast feature is a trick. Witch-king doesn't really mount/unmount fellbeast but he kills himself when you toggle fellbeast, and then a new object which is Witch-king riding on fell beast spawns right on the corpse of Witch-king. For this reason there are several problems related to this toggle feature therefore it isn't perfect, but I reduced the number of problems as much as I could. I thank pabtyf for giving me a start for making this toggle feature. If you want to use this toggle feature in your mod, please give me (Vapula) credit since it took days and days to tweak this. At first, I give you a quick guide to put this toggle feature in your B4ME and I will later explain how it works and how it is coded for those who wanna know about it more. <<Quick installation guide>> 1. Move this witchking.ini [**below tutorial or in the downloads section**] to \data\ini\object\evilfaction If you don't wanna use a separete ini file for your Witch-king you can copy and paste all the lines in witchking.ini into your evilfactionunits.ini. In this tutorial the object name for on-foot Witch-king is MordorWitchKingNew, and the object name for Witch-king riding on fellbeat is MordorWitchKingOnFellBeastNew. The reason why I'm using new objects rather than modifying already existing Witch-king objects is because it modifies HELL A LOT so making new objects is much easier. 2. Open your objectcreationlist.ini and copy and paste following lines:
3. Open your weapon.ini and copy and paste following lines:
4. Open your commandset.ini and copy and paste following lines:
5. Open your commandbutton.ini and copy and paste following lines:
6. Open your specialability.ini and copy and paste following lines:
7. Open your experience.ini, search for the string "FellBeastWitchKingLevel1" and add MordorWitchKingNew and MordorWitchKingOnFellBeastNew in TargetNames like this:
8. Open your playertemplate.ini and add MordorWitchKingNew in Mordor's BuildableHeroesMP
---Technical guide--- Here I explain how this toggle is coded and how it works. Firstly, these new Witch-king objects (MordorWitchKingNew and MordorWitchKingOnFellBeastNew) have an active body, not a respawn body. Since the toggle kills Witch-king once and spawns another Witch-king which is on fell beast (and vice versa when it's from fell beast to on-foot), if he's given a respawn body toggling will create another Witch-king in the citadel and therefore there will be two Witch-kings. Continuing this will create an army of Witch-king. In order to avoid this I had to give him an active body and make a fake respawn body feature for him. When Witch-king dies normally (being killed by other units), he creates MordorWitchKingEggDummy by these behaviours. The first behaviour specifies the way Witch-king dies, and the second creates a dummy object.
This dummy object is invisible and it dies automatically right after spawned. However this dummy egg is given a respawn body and "RespawnAsTemplate = MordorWitchKingNew" so it can be respawned as on-foot Witch-king in the citadel. When you click on toggle fellbeast, a word-of-power based weapon (Weapon WitchKingOnFootToFellBeast) becomes actived which has a minimal range but massive damage influencing all the allies so it will kill Witch-king (for this reason if you active toggle fellbeast when your Witch-king is very close to a building or unit, that building/unit will be destroyed). This word-of-power based weapon has a deathtype of CRUSHED, and MordorWitchKingNew is designed that if he gets killed by a deathtype of CRUSHED, an egg object called MordorWitchKingOnFellBeastEgg will be created by these behaviours.
MordorWitchKingOnFellBeastEgg dies automatically in a second and then it will create MordorWitchKingOnFellBeastNew which is an actual fell beast object. You should of noticed that it is possible that Witch-king dies from a deathtype of CRUSHED accidentally (for instance Sauron's mace attack has a deathtype of CRUSHED so if Witch-king gets killed by Sauron, he will automatically respawns as a fell beast without clicking on toggle). However heroes cannot be crushed by horses so this problem will rarely occur. These are the basics of the toggle feature (from on-foot to fellbeast). The other way around (from fellbeast to on-foot) is coded in a similar way so I don't explain it here. Links / Downloads
