Unit Skeletons

[Horseman]

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).

[Dol Guldur]

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

[Horseman]

Fantastic, thanks guys

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

[Aradan]

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

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...
