Mordor and Nazgul.

**kai** · May 07, 2009, 02:54 PM

Hi. I could do with someone who can code to help me make a submod.

The idea is to give Mordor 9 Nazgul as their family members and not allow them any others but to make the Nazgul immortal.

Here is the code that replaces the Mordor section in the descr_strat to put all of the nazgul in the game from the start.

And here is my attempt at creating a script that will resurrect missing Nazgul.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Now what I need help with is making 9 Ancillaries (1 Ring for each Nazgul instead of them sharing) and someone to help tell me what is wrong with my code as currently it isn't working. (and it isn't the missing ancillary as I tested it with the king_mordor ancillary to check if it worked and it failed misrabbly...

**Blakdust** · May 07, 2009, 03:07 PM

Now this is the shizelefizzlewizzlemanizzle!

Does it work well?

Maybe all at start is abit much don't really need 9 at start
but they need to be immortal dying of old age is retarded!!
an the trade off is not having any other generals!

**kai** · May 07, 2009, 03:19 PM

It doesn't work at all yet I need help with it. But yeah thats the idea, if we can get a script to create the unit again once it dies.

**Blakdust** · May 07, 2009, 03:27 PM

Maybe that would still be to powerful maybe make it hard (+8hps trait)but possible for them to die in battle
JUST NOT DIE OF OLD AGE!!! drives me nuts!

wish I could help with the scripting but Im as useful as a one legged cat tryna bury turds in a frozen pond

**kai** · May 07, 2009, 03:31 PM

You can't stop them dying from old age or in battle. But you can check at the end of Mordors turn if the faction owns an ancillary that the nazgul starts the game with and create a clone of the general how it started the game if they don't.

Fluff wise imagine them being defeated and going back to Mordor to regain their strength. This also explains why they will come back weaker than when they died.

Any help from someone who can script/make ancillaries? Come on Mordor fans! Whats the mistake in my code?

**JonSnow** · May 07, 2009, 03:42 PM

Spacing is messed up but that might just be the forums, I don't know. Besides that I really am not sure whether there should be a space between not and faction...

**kai** · May 07, 2009, 03:44 PM

Thanks I'll test that now.

EDIT:
Here is how the spacing is now after I changed the not
Attachment 40957

Edit. Nah that didn't work. Any other ideas?

**JuL14n** · May 08, 2009, 08:30 AM

Did you put the script last or first? "Wait_monitor" should not be before the script.
You might allready know about it.

**kai** · May 07, 2009, 06:33 PM

I noticed this command function "I_CharacterExists" and was wondering what the Nazguls names count as in game as when I try either nazgula or Witch_King in the console it says that it can't find the character.

**Fishrudder** · May 07, 2009, 06:39 PM

Code:

and not FactionwideAncillaryExists Some Sort of unique Ring

Try entering the individual rings in not some sort

**kai** · May 07, 2009, 06:42 PM

and it isn't the missing ancillary as I tested it with the king_mordor ancillary to check if it worked and it failed misrabbly...

No such luck I am afraid. Thanks for trying to help though.

**kai** · May 10, 2009, 12:28 PM

I didn't know that thanks.

**Lap** · May 13, 2009, 01:54 PM

I would suggest having them ressurect with a turn delay so players or AI wouldn't throw them to their deaths over and over.

For player it makes sense as the player would abuse 'immortal' generals (even if they get reseted with all traits) but for the AI they should revive instantly. That way fighting Mordor will be a REAL challenge it was meant to be.
