Obi-Wan Fighter

[Eesu Oyod]

I'm rather new to modding, so I apologize that this isn't much of anything. I just wondered why Obi-Wan was confined to a transport when the prequel movies portrayed him as quite capable of handling a fighter (though no Anakin Skywalker, but then, who is?).

 

All I've done is modified the V-Wing so there is only one ship to the squad, with improved shields and weapons, and used it as a unique space unit for Obi-Wan. Added a tooltip entry into the text file simply because I dislike the [MISSING] message.

 

I'm not really sure how to get the abilities to work (I tried it with Invulnerability, but then the icon would appear over both Obi-Wan's icon and the ships shield/health bar, and the effect never deactivated after being activated once) so any tips in that area would be appreciated.

 

Any comment, criticism, or general advice welcome.

Because he is very old by now ? why would he fly a fighter ? not to mention "flying is for droids"...

If you want to add a special ability like Invulnerability, you will also need to add ABILITY_COUNTDOWN to the space behaviour line so that it runs for the correct amount of time specified in the ability itself.

 

While he's capable of flying a fighter, maybe his own Venator might be appropriate from the time when he and Anakin commanded the Open Circle Fleet.

Actually I was working on a Venator, and then I found another mod that came with Venators for both the Emperor and Obi-Wan. Didn't want to be accused of stealing someone's work.

 

And thank you, Tycho, for the abilities help.
