I was working on another map of mine, where the Fellowship meets Galadriel en Celeborn.
I want Haldir to go to Galadriel en Celeborn and bow for then... (by changing him to his Stand-5 animation!)

Q1: I get Haldir in front of Galadriel and Celeborn, but he doesnt play the animation...?

I used the trigger 'Play unit animation' and selected Haldir and put 'Stand - 5' in as animation.


Q2: After he bows, Haldir walks next to the throne. I want him, as he enters the region next to the throne, to look a certain direction. I made a trigger for this, which starts as he enters the region, but he still looks the wrong way! You have any idea what I did wrong?

Q3: about my first map:

That's quite interesting, but here are a few tips:

- The Camera sight stopping at 5000 is a problem I often see. Change the FarZ value(or something like this) to something higher, so the landscape doesn't dissapear in front of your eyes. Else try to make it dissapear but behind a cliff or mountain.

- The landscape was a little simple, add some more details to it)

- I liked the part when the camera seems to dive on the tree, it gave a really good effect.


Where do I change the FarZ value? Can't find it...

sincerely I'm having an hard time playing the stand animations, they never seem to work.

For the FarZ, go in your camera's properties, last option.

I still cant get the animations to work either!
I have been working on my map for almost the whole day after I got home from school, and I think it has greatly improved :D

DeamonKillar, would you like to download it again and comment on it?
Comments from everyone else is also greatly appreciated!!!


There are still a few things I'm going to change/alter:
- some camera tweaking
- I'm not really confident with the mountains (they look more like hills! I should add a cave I think)
- I think I'm going to remove the sky in the second part, it screws up whenever the camera begins to turn around Caras Galadhon...
- Add custom music

Possible changes:
- Skin the units (These don't look like the 'real' ones and Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli are the same, just like Merry, Pippin and Sam...) [But I don't know how to skin yet, so this may take a while :gsmile: ]
- some things I haven't thought of yet :ggani:


I havent tried the FarZ thing yet. I will try it tomorrow!

I see already 25 people looked at my map, or at least downloaded it...
but why hasn't anyone replied?

Please, tell me what you think of it!!! I know it's not the quality of CotN, but I'm trying to learn!
So PLEASE, tell me what you think after watching it, so that I know if others like it and what I have to improve!

Its from Lord of the Rings (the BOOK!):

It begins when the Fellowship leaves Moria, right after Gandalf has fallen, and Aragorn leads them to the Golden Woods of Lóthlórien!
They pass the river Nimrodel, and there they meet Haldir.
He leads them to Caras Galdhorn, the Heart of the Elvenkingdom in Middle-Earth. There Celeborn and Galadriel are waiting!
