As you can see, copying powers from hero to hero isn't that difficult, you just have to copy the exact same set of behaviors and you're done. Copying powers from CaH heroes to normal heroes isn't that different, although there are a few more steps involved.

As before, I'll suppose that you have every file close, so the first thing you want to do is to open data>ini>object>createahero>createaheropowers.inc and look for any power you want; in this tutorial I'll choose cripple strike lvl 2 (melee version). So, same as before, I'll copy all the behaviors I want and paste them in myhero.ini file, after doing that, my hero will have this modules:

              

Code

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------     Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMeleeEnabler_Level2     SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2     TriggeredBy             = End Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMeleeStarter_Level2     SpecialPowerTemplate     = SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2     UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes     StartsPaused             = Yes //        InitiateSound             = LurtzVoiceAttackCripplingStrike End Behavior = WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMeleeUpdate_Level2     SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2     SkipContinue         = Yes     UnpackTime             = 1100    //Pull out arrow     PreparationTime         = 1    //Quick    shot     PersistentPrepTime     = 500    //looping the quick    shot     PackTime             = 500    //back to idle     MustFinishAbility     = Yes          AwardXPForTriggering = 0         StartAbilityRange     = 30.0          SpecialWeapon         = CreateAHeroCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2     WhichSpecialWeapon     = 1 //    RejectedConditions     = WEAPON_TOGGLE End

As you can see, is the exact same procedure as before, however now we have a problem. You see, the reason why copying from hero to hero is so fast is because the section SpecialPowerTemplate looks for the power inside the specialpower.ini file, the problem here is that the template SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 does not exsists in specialpower.ini, it is in createaherospecialpower.ini, so what we have to do is open data>ini>createaherospecialpower.ini look for the template SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 and copy it; now go to data>ini>specialpower.ini and paste it, while doing it change its name so you can reference later. When you're done with that you'll have something that looks like this:

              

Code

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SpecialPower SpecialAbilityMalvackCrippleStrikeMelee     Enum                                     =    SPECIAL_AT_VISIBLE_OBJECT     ReloadTime                                 =    45000     PublicTimer                                 =    No     //InitiateAtLocationSound = LurtzVoiceAttackCripplingStrike     ObjectFilter                             = CRIPPLE_STRIKE_OBJECT_FILTER End

Now go back to yourhero.ini and replace every CaH SpecialPowerTemplate with your new SpecialPowerTemplate; in other words, replace SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 with SpecialAbilityMalvackCrippleStrikeMelee. So you will end up with something resambling this:

              

Code

;--------------MALVACK CRIPPLE STRIKE------------------------------------------------------------     Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMeleeEnabler_Level2     SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityMalvackCrippleStrikeMelee     TriggeredBy             = Upgrade_ObjectLevel1 End Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMeleeStarter_Level2     SpecialPowerTemplate     = SpecialAbilityMalvackCrippleStrikeMelee     UpdateModuleStartsAttack = Yes     StartsPaused             = Yes //        InitiateSound             = LurtzVoiceAttackCripplingStrike End Behavior = WeaponFireSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_CreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMeleeUpdate_Level2     SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityMalvackCrippleStrikeMelee     SkipContinue         = Yes     UnpackTime             = 1100    //Pull out arrow     PreparationTime         = 1    //Quick    shot     PersistentPrepTime     = 500    //looping the quick    shot     PackTime             = 500    //back to idle     MustFinishAbility     = Yes          AwardXPForTriggering = 0         StartAbilityRange     = 30.0          SpecialWeapon         = CreateAHeroCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2     WhichSpecialWeapon     = 1 //    RejectedConditions     = WEAPON_TOGGLE End

As you can see I wrote the name of the power above the modules just to make it easier to find. Also I changed the TriggeredBy section so my hero will unlock this power as soon as he reaches level 1. The moduletags can retain their CaH name, since that won't affect at all the power, although if you want, you can change it to make it look prettier.


The last thing that we have to do is to create the commandbutton, and commandset entrance. Open the commandbutton.ini file and look for the one you gave to your hero, copy it and paste it somewhere in the file. There are three things you have to change, first off the name, secondly you'll have to delete the part of the commandbutton that interacts with the CaH system, and finally you will change the SpecialPowerTemplate. After these 3 changes will change from this:

              

Code

CommandButton Command_CreateAHero_HotW_CrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 Command = SPECIAL_POWER SpecialPower = SpecialAbilityCreateAHeroHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 Options = NEED_TARGET_ENEMY_OBJECT // CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbilityHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 CursorName = EvilAbilityObj InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid ButtonImage = HSCrippleStrikeMelee ButtonBorderType = ACTION DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbilityHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 InPalantir             = Yes     CreateAHeroUIAllowableUpgrades             =    Upgrade_CreateAHero_ClassHeroOfTheWest     CreateAHeroUIMinimumLevel                 = 7     CreateAHeroUIPrerequisiteButtonName =    Command_CreateAHero_HotW_CrippleStrikeMelee_Level1     CreateAHeroUICostIfSelected                 = CAH_CRIPPLESTRIKEMELEE_LEVEL2_COST End

To this:

              

Code

CommandButton Command_MalvackCrippleStrikeMelee Command = SPECIAL_POWER SpecialPower = SpecialAbilityMalvackCrippleStrikeMelee Options = NEED_TARGET_ENEMY_OBJECT // CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:SpecialAbilityHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 CursorName = EvilAbilityObj InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid ButtonImage = HSCrippleStrikeMelee ButtonBorderType = ACTION DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipSpecialAbilityHotWCrippleStrikeMelee_Level2 InPalantir             = Yes End

Now go to the commandset and put the new commandbutton in the next spot. When you're done with that, you'll have something like this (don't forget to uncomment):

              

Code

CommandSet AngmarMalvackCommandSet 1 = Command_ToggleStance 2 = Command_SpecialAbilityAngmarMalvackShakeFoundation 3 = Command_MalvackCrippleStrikeMelee ; 4 = ; 5 = ; 6 = 12 = Command_CaptureBuilding 13 = Command_AttackMove 14 = Command_Stop 16 = Command_SetStanceBattle 17 = Command_SetStanceAggressive 18 = Command_SetStanceHoldGround End

So that's it, your hero has a CaH power, feel free to test it out.
