    Default Mak, Dissappearing/Transformation Animation

    Hi Mak and HS,

    You may have thought of this already but here goes anyway.

    Can yo take a unit animation that hides/dissapears in the grass and use that for a transformation inot a Lycan Werewolf unit by adding the Werewolf as the unit reapperars from hiding/dissappearing in the grass??? A permanent change as yousaid you were thinking about earlier.

    It can't be done, the problem is there is only one texture per unit, while the model can be changed as it comes closer (human to Lycan) the texture cannot.

    Oh, sorry to hear that. That's a bummer.

    So, how about a total Unit + Texture + Model + animation replacement after the unit dissapears into the grass or wherever??? Perhaps this is possible??

    Sure would be great if it was. There has to be something that can be done.

    sorry - forgot to reply - am 99.9% sure answer is no though, there isn't a mechanism for an infantry unit to change models via the animation

    Hi,

    That's too bad there isn't a way to switch the model and animation of a unit.
    Maybe just make the Lycan units that are Werewolves look like Werewolves from the get go and don't worry about it. With the hide ability they may be freaky enough.

    I'm sure you have something up your sleeve.

    Too bad though that the switch, the transformation can't be done. Bummer.

    The mod looks very cool. So teh question is: does transformation adds fun to the mod? I believe we can live without it, even tough it would be fun.

    A transformation wouldn't make a real difference though it would look cool, it's not possible, however I just ran a custom battle with some units not shown yet, Soul Eaters and Ghost men, along with Druid magicians throwing bombs and some mean looking Onagers, against Vampyres with a whole bunch of Cannons...

    Fun??, hell yeh!!

    By cannons do you mean late medieval bombard types?? I don't like cannons because thet are loud, especially 8-inch howitzers and demi-cannons and whatever. Bronze cannon such as 12-pdr. Napoleons with a full charge and a round in the barrel ring with a very sharp ear piercing noise, a real wierd sound, and it can make your ears bleed, and I don't like those either. Gunpowder simply ruins my day.

    Great big ones which go WAAAPOOMPHHHH! , but only the Vampyres have them, the other factions have onagers (albeit pretty snazzy ones)...

    Hi, Yeah, I saw the pics you posted. Those are OK, and I'll remember to wear earplugs just in case, plus hold my mouth open when the Vamp. cannon fires. Helps with the concussion you know.
