2 questions that I havent been able to find the answer yet, help would be appreciated. I know how to do morphs and all but the thing is i dont know how to do the animation commands yet so I figured I would ask.
do you know how to make the thors ability more like siege mode?
do you know how to make the range of the thors ability farther?



None.

i guess if I could take off the time limit that would work and if it target dies it morphs back. Cause i know how to change the energy cost.

To create an ability like the siege tank you would have to create a unit that can't move, and have increased range. Then morph the Thor to the unit. You could also probably get away with this with an ability -> apply behavior effect -> behavior buff that modifies unit.

In order to have animation you would have to animate it yourself.

Which you can't (yet): The .m3 importer doesn't support animations.

thats why i was hoping we could just alter the thors ability to do this. I know how to remove the energy cost. There are two other issues, the fact the ability is timed, and when its target is no longer valid it morphs back. So how do we remove the time, and the auto end?

In order to do what you want you will need to use a morph. You would morph the thor into another unit with the thor model but with a different actor and it's weapon changed to use the strike cannons effect. You will need to edit the events on the actors to change when the animations play. You would need to play the morph animations when morphing to/from this modified thor and you need to modify the WeaponStart/WeaponStop events to play the strike cannon animations instead of the regular attack ones.

I dont know how to do the animation stuff, I know how to do the morph stuff and weapon stuff.

All the animation stuff is under the events for the actor. If you look at the events for the thor actor you can see generally how its set up. There are events and then effects (not necessarily animations). To do what you want you will be just modifying events, so find the animation you want (by looking for the event it would currently be under) and modify to be the event you want the animation to play/end under.

i wonder if i can copy the events from its ability, because it has the animation is order.

If you're talking about the 3rd party tool, it does now.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
