Unit Skeletons

Greetings all....another question from me!

in the file descr_model_battle all the units have skeleons

for example

fs_swordsman
fs_semi_fast_swordsman
fs_fast_swordsman

Now last year back when I 1st started modding I asumed that the semi fast/fast/slow tag was related to the atack animations.

As I'm getting more into this I'm thinking now that this actually indicates a units speed it moves across the battlemap. Also that this is howw the engine determines how fast cavalry is (by whatskeleton/horse is used for the mount)

Can someone clarify which of the above (if either!) is correct?

Thanks
Mike

The prefix determines the moving speed on battle-map (and also triggers the fast moving tag in the unit info-card).

Yep, and remember that altering scale will alter movement because their pace will be longer/shorter.

Fantastic, thanks guys :beam:

But, if I'm right, it only considers the speed for running, not for walking, marching or attacking.

Yes, that's right, that's for running speed.

Reducing scale to 0.8 will reduce speed to 0.8, increasing scale to 1.3, will increase speed to 1.3 etc.

Thanks guys...even more info.

I'm glad I regestered here now, very friendly, helpful and knowledgable :beam:

I think with the animation editor thingy you can make the anims faster/slower without scaling or despite it...

At least I'm definitely condiering slowing down my giants, having them run 4x faster than the Orcs is rather wierd...
