Title: I cant morph with EP
Post by: Zoythrus on 23 March 2010, 03:34:18

if i have a morph that uses EP, the EP disappears, but there is no morphing (it wont morph at all)

im using the latest MegaGlest (3.3.1 i think)

what is the time value of the morph?
is there enough EP to finish the morph?

the morph took about 5-6 seconds, and yes, i had more than enough EP

Make the EP 9999999 regain by 999999 and see if it works.

Skill cycles for morph are generally very short, and it takes many such cycles to complete a typical morph. Ep is deducted per skill cycle. If I have my facts right (no guarantee), one 'point' of production is added per cycle, so the Ep required to finish a morph is equal to the produced units production 'time' multiplied by the skills ep cost.

I will attempt shortly to write up an explanation of skill cycles & commands and the various unit/skill parameters that affect such things, so that people who prefer numbers can figure this all out with less trial and error and more planning, but it may take a while to compose, knowing how one command works doesn't necessarily give you much insight into how another command might work.

so you are saying that if morphing costs 30 EP and the morph time equals 5 seconds, that the unit would need 150 EP to morph?

Every time the bar ticks up, it take away the EP cost.
