New attack types/Defence types

How can I make a "Bullet" and "Plasma" attack type for a unit and hero?

Also, how can I make a "Metal" and "Kevlar body armor" defence type?


Merry Christmas by the way

Advanced ----> Game Interface.
(Note: You have to get rid of one other defence/attack type to get it.) (You change the defences at the Gameplay Constants.)

You actually can't add attack and defense types; you can only change existing attack and defense types so that they have different names/different damage ratios, etc. To change damage ratios go to Advanced -> Gameplay Constants and to change names and icons go to Advanced -> Gameplay Interface. Make sure you check the Allow Custom Values box in both or else it won't let you change anything.

Oh, ok thanks. Let me try it out. Please keep this window open incase i need more help on this subject

How do I change it though. It only shows the icon, thats it

Like I said, you have to check the "Allow Custom Values" box. Then, just double click on the icon/text/value field or whatever and change whatever you want.

Oh, wait. Nevermind, I see what you mean now (I think)

How do I change the name though. I only see changing the icon.

If you're talking about the damage ratios (like change how much extra or less damage attacks do to certain defence types) its in the Gameplay Constants window. It's near the top called something like Damage Table.

No, I'm talking about changing then name of the attack. I already know how to change the damage.

I.E. Chaos to Plasma; Hero to Bullets.


BTW, where can I find icon's for Bullets, Kevlar body armor, and metal?

Ok the names are in Gameplay Inferface. They are down around the middle of the list. The names are listed alphabetically, and all the attack/defense type name fields start with "Text - Attack Type..." or "Text - Defense Type...", so look for those. For the tooltips, they all look something like "Text - [name of attack/defense type]..." so for Heavy armor (Large) it would be "Text - Heavy Armor..."

EDIT: Search for those bullet/kevlar icons in the Icons Resources section of this site. They might have some, they might not.

I only see "Text-General" and it says "Chaos damage does this much damage to heavy armor"

Nothing with "Text-Attack" or "Text-Defence"

I would open up WE and find the exact text for you, but I have misplaced my disc so I can't :(

Just keep searching through. I seem to recall that they are at the very end of the "Text - General" section. They will have color code symbols like |cffffcc00...|r and all they say is like "Attack Type - Hero" or "Armor Type - Divine" inside the color code.

K, thanks a lot for the help

Hey, where could I get a bullet model? (Like the ones used in Undead Assault)

Do NOT double-post. You guys are impossible...
