Thread: [Guide] Attaching to Moving Entities22 Oct 2021, 09:17 AM I've done some testing and attached entities are, in fact, able to attack. Both passenger and bulldozer attach types are able to attack. The issue is that their position is not updated. This means that the entity will only be able to attack around where it has been spawned. A workaround would be to have two always_on abilities, one with the attacking entity, the other with a dummy. When the parent entity moves the dummy entity will be used and when it has stopped the attacking entity will be spawned. However, because rotation is also not updated it may lead to the attached entity aiming at a wrong direction. Using garrisoned squads is still the best method of using attacking attached entities. Although you'll be limited to the combat slots it works flawlessly since its a mechanic within the game. You can use the damage_state to hide the parent entity as instructed earlier in the guide and have a child entity attached to 0, 0 for visuals. Because garrisoned squads are a form of attached entity this means that it may be possible to trick other types of attached entities into thinking they are garrisoned, allowing their position to update. I'll have to take a look into this later. Apparently some info about disabling unloading and decorators is wrong so I'll update that information at a later date. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: How do I change unit's voice clip (speech)?20 Oct 2021, 22:11 PM I looked into it a bit but haven't tested. In archive viewer open sound.sga. Data\sound\speech\mp In this folder are the speech files for every unit. So, for example if you were to lookup the speech for the conscript molotov ability you would go to: Data\sound\speech\mp\soviet\cns\orderconfirmations\ability The 3 letters after abt (short for ability?) are what you want which in this case is "mol". If you look at ebps in AE this matches up with the speech_code_3. I don't know much about this so maybe someone else has more info. Also looking things up this way would only be helpful if you wanted to add some unused ability speech since you can lookup abilities in the AE instead. This guide will tell you how to use sound_action to apply sounds. In: Modding and Tools

Thread: Unused Infantry Models18 Oct 2021, 06:22 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Oct 2021, 05:09 AMSneakEye uhm sort of.. I use the commissar model with Pozharsky's unique face: Create a new .abp: armies\soviet\soldiers\pozharsky\pozharsky_new.abp Code model = { "..\\..\\..\\Common\\CompleteMotionTree.abp", "..\\..\\..\\common\\weapons\\pistol\\pistol", "..\\..\\weapons\\pistol_nagant\\pistol_nagant", -- Common Soviet Gear "..\\..\\sovietcommongear.abp", -- Main Mesh "..\\cossack_officer\\cossack_officer", "..\\..\\..\\common\\base\\cinematichead\\cinematichead", } And add two animator_set_state actions in ebps/action_apply: state_machine_name: cinematic_skins do_action_state_name: on state_machine_name: character do_action_state_name: pozharsky Result: Default Commissar, Pozharsky, Isakovich That's a smart way of doing it. Female gibs are an unused asset, probably because its off proportioned to all the other infantry. You'll need to take any motion tree abp file and delete the "soldiers\\giblets\\giblets\\giblets", line. In this example I named the new abp file as "test.abp". Then create an abp file for the unit. Code model = { "..\\..\\..\\common\\test.abp", "..\\..\\..\\Common\\soldiers\\giblets\\giblets_female\\giblets_female", } animator_set_state do_action_state_name: on state_machine_name: gibs Gibs in general have some interesting properties. It hides the base model of the infantry and replaces it with the gibs model. All infantry have the gibs blueprint as it's in every motion tree. This means we can do things such as paratrooper gibs. Gibs do not, however, replace femalemotion.abp so we can add hats on to them. Sniper_female_recon Code model = { "..\\..\\..\\common\\test.abp", "..\\..\\..\\soviet\\soldiers\\sniper_female_recon\\sniper_female_recon", } Because the model includes the head and hands we will have to use the custom motion tree again. This model has a lower draw distance so be aware of that if your mod includes a zoom out. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Are there modding macros/shortcuts?16 Oct 2021, 04:19 AM You're welcome and sorry about the confusion. Usually that is what filter action is used for but I'm assuming that the property of apply_to_future_units is what makes it work. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Are there modding macros/shortcuts?16 Oct 2021, 02:50 AM My mistake I was looking at the wrong action. Add a filter action and then the modifier under it. This should work. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Are there modding macros/shortcuts?16 Oct 2021, 01:02 AM Double check to make sure everything is correct. If that doesn't work then I'm unsure maybe someone else knows the answer. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Are there modding macros/shortcuts?15 Oct 2021, 23:33 PM Okay it definitely works. The only thing different is that mine is through an upgrade. Make an upgrade with the modifiers and have the owner_type as player. Then upgrade_add in the start_actions. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Are there modding macros/shortcuts?15 Oct 2021, 23:15 PM Can you post a screenshot of what your actions look like? I have not tried weapon range but it works well for capture speed. I'll test this real quick and get back to you. You can right click on an action and "find all references" as well as "go to reference" to see how these actions are used in vanilla to give you a better idea of how they work. In: Modding and Tools
Thread: Are there modding macros/shortcuts?14 Oct 2021, 22:34 PM I don't know about macros but your example of weapon range would be easy to do. Making a player upgrade with weapon range modifiers will apply it to all of your units. You can then add the upgrade in the army section under start_actions of AE so it is applied at the start of the match. You would have to make additional range_weapon_modifiers for more hardpoints.
