I've got two doubts about map making - help please

[FreeTheCatalanCountries]

Hi
I would like to know various things:

1) How to change the normal icons for Move / Patrol / Attack / Stop / Hold position --> for new customized items that were uploaded by myself?

2) I would also like to know how to implement the ground attack from catpults, mortairs, etc, to other units like archers, etc, because i'm making an archer with incendiary arrows in a map, etc, and I would like to be able to do ground attack with him.

Thanks

To modify those icons you open "game inferface" menu from i think its "advanced ..."
by the way changed icons of attack/hold etc is most of the time quite annoying but its your choice


What do you mean about ground attack ? You mean "splash damage" ? Aoe efects can be set in Editor by editing the Area of Efect values there. Just take a look on those values for e.g. mortars and adjust them for your unit

I mean the ground attack, "attack ground", an arrow and a "x" on the ground is the picture of the ability... it's used when you don't wnat to attack a single unit but an area of terrain.


By the way I know there's an AOE option at the attack, and I know how to use it, but I mean the "attack ground" spell, that only the mortairs, catpults, etc, have.

BTW talking about AOE does som1 know why don't the AOE option of the Searing Arrows of the Priestess of the Moon does not work? It doesn't work! You put area of effect on her searing arrows and it just doesn't work.

Like the footmen's defend "return the damage" thign. Footies are supposed to return the damage when they block a piercing attack while defending... but it doesn't work.

Unless your doing it with heros, you could modify the catapults and such and change the model file and icon and sound for it, so no one will notice.

Yep, I thought about modifying a siege unit, but I was thinking more like to put the attack ground button on an archer, because I already had done that unit. But well if there's no way to put the Attack ground button on a normal unit, I think i'll have to modify a siege unit...

gg anyway

Try changing the attack type - somewhere in Combat there is a menu with Normal, Missile, Missile (Line)...try changing it to Artillery.

Also, i think going to the bit that allows you to change allowed targets and adding 'ground' would help.
