Shooting with no shooters script

Credits go to Chortos from russian forums for the script and to Itsjutme for translating the comments for me, so I could find the right one.

$= Creature ID
It needs shooting frames, obviously
Optional you can add [x]shot.82m in data, where x is creature ID for sounds ie crusshot for crusader (see deftool misc column for right names).
It works with all creatures except pikeman and halberdier. The projectile used will be the archers one (not sure, it looks like)

ZVSE

!?FU6000;

Make sure the creature number is valid
!!VRx3&x1=1/x2<2:S16;
!!VRx3&x1=1/x2>197:S16;
!!FU|x2<2/x2>197:E;

Get the correct address
!!VRx2:+7961526;

Do what they ask us to do
!!UN&x1=0:Cx2/1/x3;
!!UN&x1=1:Cx2/1/?x3;

!#MA:X$/?i;
!#VRi:|4;
!#MA:X$/i;
!#MA:N$/16;
!#FU6000:P0/$/11;

If someone could explain me how the !!VRx2:+7961526; address is found, then the projectile layout can be changed to whatever you want.

Also what x1 is and when it can have the value of 0/1.
x3= projectile type I guess?
x2 is creature ID
x1 is?

I already know what are x2-x3. But still not x1.

@Edit: Feanor answered me:
x1:
0 - set missile type to creature (!!FU6000:P0/<creature ID>/<missile type>)
1 - get missile type from creature (!!FU6000:P1/<crID>/?<var for missile type>;)

Salamandre, i thought you cannot access the game memory with UN:C under wog 3.58, you'd need the exe modified with TE or the rules changed?

Well, I cannot understand clearly. The error screen appears whenever I shoot with nonshooter army. For example, what should I do with the map ERM if I wanna shoot with the azure dragon without editing the LOD file?

@Sagamosa, there are several threads in df2 forums about reverse engineering. They did it on 3.58 exe as well, thus the address I got.
I also have the address for ERA, it is 7994814. For more infos, ask there, as I do not know more details about.

@DDpro: you must add shooting frames to the azure, then put its ID in the script.

Universal code for getting this address:

!!UN:C4446879/4/?y10;
!!UN:C4446867/1/?y11;
!!VRy10&y11=254:-2;
!!VRy10&y11=-2:-2;

//now it in y10.

I think, it will work at 358, TE, ERA, MoP and with plugin for adding creatures.

Thanks for the information
I remember that in the "Advanced War Machine I" ERM, they added the shooting frames of magog to the catapult - how did they do that?

They did it the same way Woodmelon uses Orrin specialty on shooters for lich/magog projectiles, they change type on shoot action.

Is there a way to simply change projectile on unit that already shoots without replacing def?

Hi I'm wondering how the lich's missle works (dracolich I suppose as well). I want to make a creature that fires a missle and then has an animation similar to the death cloud, but with another creature.

Possible? Also, slightly off topic, but what would be the script for a creature to do 25% of the damage it does to the enemy to itself? I'm making a new town that will be out by the end of the year but really am a ERM noob and more of a graphics guy.

A bit more on this - if you want a creature to shoot lasers (i.e. like Evil Eyes or Archmages) as opposed to projectiles (i.e. like everything else) you need another function as well as the FU6000 described above.

File offset below is for WOG / ERA.  


*****************************************
**FU6001 - memory edit of shooter laser table
**x1 - 0 for Write / 1 for Read
**x2 - creature ID
**x3 - beam color (0=green, 1=white, 2=black)
**
** mem loc 4453828 corresponds to file offset 0x3f5c4 which contains
** an array of bytes for the color of beams used by creatures 35-121.
**
**to make a creature a laser shooter one must:
** - give the creature an entry in the projectile table with FU6000 (startup + load)
** - give the creature a laser color using FU6001 (startup + load)
** - set the 4 and 2048 flags for the creature (startup)
!?FU6001;
!!VRx3&x1=1/x2<35:S2;
!!VRx3&x1=1/x2>121:S2;
!!FU|x2<35/x2>121:E;                      
!!VRx2:+4453828-35;  
!!UN&x1=0:Cx2/1/x3;
!!UN&x1=1:Cx2/1/?x3;

Info and offsets ripped from russian thread http://forum.df2.ru/index.php?showtopic=6055&st=40

"It needs shooting frames, obviously"

How do I know what is the correct shoot frame name?

Possibilities:
-[creature number]SHOT.def
-SHOT[creature number].def
-?
