Do Warlords have to fly?

[EvilGrins]

Is there a way to disable their ability to fly??

[OjitroC]

Yes, UnrealI Warlords have to fly. The only way to disable that (I think) would be subclassing and altering the code (though I imagine it would need a lot of rewriting to deal with the animations and physics).

Check out the XeopsLord - that comes with the SP map UB01-Xeops (I've mentioned that in a relatively recent post) - it's subclassed from the EXUWarLord that has a bool property bFlightEnabled.

Try use Skaarj with changed mesh. Of course you need subclass it anyway + some tune. But in general it can be less work.

--- EDIT ---

Possible Skaarj is too fast for WarPenguins
Maybe better use Krall as base. Its really slow.

Just put them in a room with a low ceiling.

Or cover entire map with MonsterBlock on desired height.

Which are disabled in advanced MH2 mods... I recommend a static decoration with Warlord mesh. I'll bet on 10$ that it won't fly...

Simple ... remove their wings

That's the XeopsLord (mentioned above).

Get hold of and play the map then you'll see plenty of them in action.

Not really. Turns out the map is from the more advanced version of oldskool, the one I don't use.

I can't access it, the Sktroopers I have on a lot of my bots are dependent on the original version of oldskool that Usaarj put out WAY back when.

Sure. Just tell the guys at the airport to confiscate their passports.

Oh wait...you meant...oh nevermind

The first function it the warlords code is PreSetMovement().
If you copy that function and make a subclass of warlord. Paste the function into the subclass.
Change bCanFly = true to false and compile.
All done!

You can't summom the Xeops.XeopsLord or put it in a map?

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be that simple. Doing that has no effect on the WarLord's ability to fly - presumably because other functions set the physics to Flying and call 'flying' animations?

I opened it in UnrealEd and couldn't find any creatures in it.

I'll try that UTPe thingy on it.

They're under ScriptedPawn > EXUScriptedPawn - you need to expand the various EXU classes to find the Xeops pawns. However it is better to use UTPT as you get a better idea of what is in Xeops.u.
