In the Age of Empires 2 DE editor, the hero Dafydd ap Gruffydd has an ability that allows him to deliver the first very strong blow on enemies. In the editor, to create this mechanic, go to “Edit Characteristic” then “Maximum Charge” to add the charge to a unit. The second point is “Charge Event” which determines how this ability activates. In Dafydd’s case with a hit to an enemy.
I would like to know what number I should set to “Charge Event” and then “Charge Type” to do exactly what Dafydd does.
Is there a list of Age variables available to know these things?
Thank you so much!
What issues are you having?
Charge event 1, 2 or 3 depletes on attacking
Charge type 1 is attack, charge type 2 is unknown, charge type 3 is area attack charge and charge type 4 is ability charge
I manage to activate the maximum attack charge (+5), I manage to set the charge type to 1 (melee attack) but the last “charge event” which, if I understood correctly, activates the charge when it hits something, does not works. I set it to 1, but my unit gets the white bar with the charge, it also gets the +5 attack from the charge but when it hits nothing happens, the charge is not consumed and does not activate.
What you’re missing is the Recharge Rate (which is also affected by the total charge). If you give it a recharge rate of one, it will take 10 seconds to restore a charge of 10, a recharge rate of 0.5 will take 20 seconds to restore a charge of 10, etc.
