Hey guys,
I'm having trouble fully viewing this item in game.
I gave it lods but that hasnt helped, it isnt that too far out of view anyways. sometimes the balloon is warped and most of the time the ship isnt visible...just at specific angles. the ship is being used as body armor, like what the guys did in the parabellum mod. Maybe the model is just too big?
any ideas?
UPDATE: it must be with the rigging, using it as a horse it just bobbles like one. but the for some reason as an armor, its deformed.

How he can add script with unassigned variables when he even dont know how to open modsys files?

Engine AI code was written to Native, which uses very simple layout for weapons. Mods tend to complicate things with mix groups, so you also have custom AI like in FormationsOSP (and VC) with their own rules.
Base idea is to distribute the 4 slots of a agent. It checks the guarantee flags (must have a shield, a bow, a polearm,... ?). It checks other flags like primary weapon. It checks the troop skills and proficiencies (can 6ou use this bow, are you good with a spear, ...). Divides slots in groups. Picks from inventory based on value (slot 1 should be a one handed weapon, now choose one). And so on. On range, IIRC, it only considers the damage. VC, as a example, adds range/reach on the selection process.
Best thingy is to keep your troop design as simple as possible. Otherwise you can check custom scripts to add new behaviours.

Happens when you download old modsys from Native or a mod. It is not like they are bug or even warnings free.

You can use google to look for that kind of info

Thanks Kalarhan!
So you're saying that itp_primary and itp_secondary play a role in filling the troop inventory slots? Does it do it in a way that ensures that a troop has _both_ one primary and one secondary weapon (sidearm) equipped, or does it rather try to equip primary weapons first and only use secondaries if there's still room?
I'm rather interested how troops choose from their 4 slots _in battle_. For example: If a troop has 1 sword, 1 shield, 1 two handed axe that does a lot of damage, and finally 1 two-handed polearm, will they use sword and shield when under enemy fire, the 2h axe when fighting in melee, and the polearm when cavalry is near? I'm pretty I remember troops switching to polearms when I attack them as a knight.
I think I need to do a few tests...

itp_primary is necessary to make the weapon usable.InVain said:
itp_secondary seems to be deprecated, as it has no known functionality.
As fas as I remember, the AI favours either the longest or most damaging weapon, or a mixture of both...
However there's some black magic involved, for sure!
Does the engine do anything different with itp_has_bayonet or it can be used for different purposes?
Applying it to an alternative-mode weapon results in playing a special agent animation when switching weapon modes.Khamukkamu said:
Without the flag weapon mode switching happens instantly without any animation.
