Can you morph a land unit to an air unit?

[jda]

This might be a silly question but...
... I did notice you cannot just have this:
engineer.xml:

Code: [Select]

    <fields>
      <field value="land" />
    </fields>

<!-- Some more XML code in the middle ... -->

    <skill>
      <name value="build_skyship" />
      <type value="morph" />
      <ep-cost value="0" />
      <speed value="500" />
      <anim-speed value="200" />
      <animation path="models/engineer_build_bombard.g3d" />
      <sound enabled="true" start-time="0">
        <sound-file path="sounds/technician_build1.wav" />
      </sound>
    </skill>

<!-- Some more XML code in the middle ... -->

    <command>
      <name value="build_skyship" />
      <type value="morph" />
      <image path="../bombard/images/bombard.bmp" />
      <unit-requirements />
      <upgrade-requirements />
      <morph-skill value="build_skyship" />
      <morph-unit name="skyship" />
      <discount value="40" />
    </command>
skyship.xml:

Code: [Select]

<fields>

                        <field value="air"/>
</fields>
Is there some workaround to this?
Can this be made?

right, this is a bug in current glest.

Try this, making a skill that morph the unit back and forth the unit to a same unit but instead that new unit is the same as the first unit except it is an air type unit make the morphing time instant. The only problem is that they heal when morphing. Hope I helped

Yea, maybe it's something you can fix in MegaGlest, Titi.

I believe it's been fixed in GAE, but I'm not positive.

Thanks, guys!

Well, I could test that in GAE then. As I did decide to not release the new dwarves unit yet, I might postpone it til I have a fully bugfixed vanilla Glest Dwarf faction and then add the new skyship only to a GAE release (I was planning on making a later release for gae, using some particles' improvements from it as well as the 'guard' and 'patrol' commands, so... ).

In the meantime, I'll try Little Helper's suggestion - I can't really understand its logic but I guess it's worth the try!

EDIT: fixed a couple typos and silly phrasing.

Morphing between fields is indeed possible in GAE.

[modman]

Is this also possible in MegaGlest?

[titi]

Not yet , but with the next checkin

Cool! this is something we were hoping on fixing.
