Any way to stop arrows looping over allies?

[Savage5854]

Probably my favourite part of the entire Legandarium is the end of the 2nd age when the Last Alliance fought Sauron in Mordor. So obviously the extended prologue is one of my favourite bits of the film trilogy, and there is a specific bit that i would really like to implement into Third Age Total War.

At 1:48 in the video below the Eldar archers fire through the ranks of the eldar swordsman in front of them. I was hoping there is a script or something like that which could changed so archers don't loop arrows over allied troops in front of them, and instead fire through them in a similar fashion as in the video.



It wouldn't matter if the arrows clipped through them as long as they end up hitting their intended target! I know this is a little bit obsessive but i would really love this to be in an already incredible mod. If anyone has any knowledge on how this can be done or whether i has been done i would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Dont think its possible to shoot through allies.

You can try lowering the min_angle of the elven_arrow in descr_projectile.txt. If that doesn't work (I am guessing it will not) than there is no easy way, but it is possible with the right model and code editing.

Not sure why you would want such a thing as in real life you will probably just shoot your own troops in the back of the head.

You could try opening up the loose formation more, double it at first I guess. Worth a try as it is super easy to do and your archers might have a straight shot at the enemy. However, it will not work if they are coded to shoot over the formation instead of over individuals. I would guess it is individuals but I don't know, never tried to do it. If it does work this would be a wicked tactic as archers do a lot more damage and have a lot more accuracy when they fire straight, which is how it should be.
