    Default Embarrassing Problem

    I have near enough completed a faction for my new mod, Akthross TW, and have discovered a somewhat embarrassing problem. The faction is made up of Ogres, Goblins and Hobgoblins, with the Ogres being the dominant race. The Ogres are scaled up models with a large mass and as such they send the enemy flying on contact and they also tend to trample their own lesser units when moving through them.

    All this is just the way I want it, the problem comes with the captain and family members, these are Ogres too, but when a unit of Ogres moves through the character he gets launched up into the air just as a lesser race model would...

    I'm not sure if there is a way to fix this as my guess is character's are hard coded, but if anyone can suggest a solution, I'd be grateful.

    #Edit
    By the way even changing all 6 knockdown anims to idle's results in the character being launched, he just reamins idle for a long time afterwards...

    does he have to be part of the ogre unit, maybe the general should be part of a smaller unit, then choose your ogres
    but surely, i thought only the launching occurs with the enemy??? not your own men right?

    No, it happens with large mass units such as elephants, at least the trampling does. And even if the captain was part of a smaller sized unit, (which he could be in campaign) he would still get launched by any Ogres that move through. Its less than ideal when its a family member with his bodyguard or the faction leader being launched by regular Ogres...

    That is certainly curious. I know there's a EDU attribute called heavy which might make a unit not effected by knockback, though I've never tried it.

    I also recall it being said that officers can't be added to elephant or chariot units. Maybe this was an indication that this error would spring up if they were.

    I tried the attribute on the Generals unit and it works, so far as it doesn't throw any errors. But the character still gets launched...
    Thanks anyway
