How can i make non-flaming arrows flammable???

**Praetorian1** · January 05, 2011, 01:34 PM

i got 2 questions acutally, the 1st is about flaming arrows option, i tried checking the descr_projectile but i got no idea how to make an archer unit without the option of flaming arrows & make it capable of flaming arrows..

& the 2nd question is about armour upgrade, i'm trying to make the Landsknechts in an armor upgrade, i edited the EDU but i got stuck somewhere in the battle_models file, i tried to find some turtorial on the battle_models file but either i'm not good in searching or i was searching in the wrong place cos i couldn't find one.

can anyone help me out here? any good soul will help me out i'll be much greatful

tnkx

It's easy, take the basic arrow in descr_projectile it has an entry...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

It also has a flaming entry

So any basic entry can be given the flaming option simply by adding an entry for it with the same name plus _fiery tagged on the end. You could even copy the basic entry and add the tag if you want to keep it simple.

seems i'm having some problems here, i tried adding the 'fiery' & 'flaming' in the entry like u said but although it shows 'flaming arrows capability' in its small info box when i go on the archer unit icon before starting custom battle, when i start a battle it crashes to desk top

btw i also made 'arrow_lb_uh_fiery' in the unit's stat_pri of the edu..

this is what i did in the descr_projectile, i copied the basic entry & paste it right under it & added the 'fiery' thing...
