Did, still a no go. Sighs. Oh well. It looks like I might have to just scrap that skill for now. 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.On 3/16/2015 7:34 PM, Monkey wrote:Not sure if it'll help, but add an equip_type= flag to your shield, as well as to the unit that bears it. Make sure the text after the = is the same in both instances.

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. Rather splintered, but still usable. equip_slots=left_hand health_protect=3|normal,2|demonic shield_bash_health_inflict_mod=30 On 3/15/2015 5:54 PM, Monkey wrote:Also, did you use the enemy flag in the skills in question?

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 enableai_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 andlook pritty. The units that i'm trying to use the shield bash skilldon'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. Idon't think the terrain has anything to do with it, seeing as Iremoved the terrain from one of my maps just to see if there was adifference 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 numberthere is too high and therefore the shield won't damage it becauseof that.On 3/15/15, garrett knight <wolfofthewind48@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: hay allI have a few questions that i'm hoping that I can get some answersto.First off, in 1 of my maps, I have the hole map set up as a maze.Forwhat ever reason, when the player turn ends, there's this massivelag 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 ifit might be just that the map is to complex for the computer? Therearea few places where you have to use a leap skill to get over terrainthatwill pritty much mop the floor with you as soon as you step on it.Evenwhen the player unit stands right in front of an enimy, they willnot 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 haveaflag on the shield in particular that the player uses that mods thehealth inflict number to something like 30, but when using the shield,it still does 0 damage even when you equip the shield. Any help onthese 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/
