woah, yeah I think i'm all good with that at the moment. Thank you though. Sorry I keep having so meny questions, but i'm trying to get sounds to play when some units die, and i've tried a few different things. But the death sounds for the particular unit aren't playing when the particular unit dies. I know you have to spesify the file in question with something like, grunt_death right? The units in question do not have sounds for when you curser over them yet

There is a way to set that, although it's a bit of a pain at the moment. Give the skill a particular point, and set it to...whatever. For this example, we'll use bash as the point in question. So in the skill, say your point is set to bash_cost=1. You'll need to create an effect that has a duration of 0, and has bash_restore=1 in it. Use that effectwith the tag self_effects=effectName in the shield bash skill. Now, give the unit who has the skill that bash point, and have the point set to 0. Example: "bash_max=0". Then go to the item file and put this under the |script_flags section: equip_max_mod bash|1 Now, just ensure that the shield is 'NOT' equipped by default and you should be able to use the skill only when the shield is equipped.

Maybe if there's ever a way to keep people from using a skill unless they have a sertent item equipped i can put it back in. Again, thanks all for your help. The ai is doing what it should again and everything else is working.

But there's still the question of why the shield bash skill isn't working like I intended. Here's the meet of the shield bash skill Skill 10 |flags description an attack that drives your shield at a foe. You must, of course, be wielding a shield for this to work. enemy ai_attack actions_cost=1 energy_cost=15 health_inflict=0 sound=bash range=1 Now here is the meet of the shield item that my hero starts out with. The intent of this is to make it so the skill only does damage when you have a shield equipped Item 10 |flags description surrithia's childhood shield.

Did you also set the range for each skill, like Carlos suggested?

Put it in default unit flags to make it easier. All skills need to have a range. The default range is 0. If you use fog of war flags you should make sure you enable ai_wait_until_enemy_in_sight in order to minimize lag on large maps.On 3/15/2015 4:59 PM, garret knight wrote: yep, the ai_attack flag is present in the skills in question. The thing is though that the units aren't even moving. They just stand there and look pritty. The units that i'm trying to use the shield bash skill don't have any protection flags. This is strange.On 3/15/2015 1:50 PM, Monkey wrote: The massive lag is something that is a side effect of large maps. I don't think the terrain has anything to do with it, seeing as I removed the terrain from one of my maps just to see if there was a difference and there wasn't. It seems to be mainly map size and the amount of units on it...at least, that's my guess. The enemies aren't attacking? Hmm...try adding the ai_attack flag to the attacking skills, if you haven't already and see if that works. The unit you're using the shield skill on. Does it have a health_protect flag? Because if so, it's possible that the number there is too high and therefore the shield won't damage it because of that.On 3/15/15, garrett knight <wolfofthewind48@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: hay all I have a few questions that i'm hoping that I can get some answers to. First off, in 1 of my maps, I have the hole map set up as a maze. For what ever reason, when the player turn ends, there's this massive lag spike before the battle log is displayed, and at witch time, nothing happens. The maze has quite a few twists and turns, and i'm wondering if it might be just that the map is to complex for the computer? There are a few places where you have to use a leap skill to get over terrain that will pritty much mop the floor with you as soon as you step on it. Even when the player unit stands right in front of an enimy, they will not attack, even though the skills, teams, and other stuff is set up right. Second, I have a shield bash skill, that does 0 damage. But I have a flag on the shield in particular that the player uses that mods the health inflict number to something like 30, but when using the shield, it still does 0 damage even when you equip the shield. Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated. Also i would like to thank everyone who has been helping me along so far.-- -Mew __________ http://www.savethefrogs.com/
