my plan is to convert the "eat tree" ability to a spell with the usual 3 levels, each increasing total hit points gained from cosuming a tree. A fairly easy task i thought after I prevoisly was successful to convert the "dicease cloud" ability the same way (from ability to a 3 level spell). So I started out editing the AbilityData.slk ... when i was finished i tested the map and experienced a strange thing. The spell seemed to work correctly with working commandbuttons (no "tooltip missing") and even the special effects worked when using the spell. The only thing wrong was that i didnt got increased hitpoints... So the spell "worked" but it didnt work after all, because i didnt get higher hit points as supposed to when eating a tree. So i asked myself; what is wrong? and believe me i tried to find out... by looking over and over again at the AbilityData.slk and txt´s... i found nothing wrong, i think... so now i am asking you guys!! can anyone help me with this?! Here is the what i have done: http://www.sheepmods.com/stuff/eattree.html |

well i finally made it work now.. after some further brainstorming i realized i had done something wrong in the AbilityData.slk.. the data11/data21/data31 contained some wrong values.. sry for any inconvinience and the stupidity with me posting a thread and only hours later figure out the problem on my own.. a problem caused by me being sloppy and not concentrated... anyway thx for replying... |
