(Question) Unit size in tactical combat

from Elemental Forums

I would have smaller units in my tactical combats, that's because i want to have a 10 units squad as basic group upgradable till the limit of 30.

Is there a way to set the model scale in tactical battle 1\2 or more smaller and is there a way to improve the zoom level and max pitch?

Thanks

My first thought is to look at the code for shrink.  You will have to go through and scale everything though... a find/replace batch might be your best friend.

scaling down every unit body part and every weapon\armor looks like a hard work, i hope somewon will make an unit editor able to automate everything!

    <UnitStatType InternalName="UnitStat_TacticalScaleMultiplier">
        <DisplayName>Tactical Scale Multiplier</DisplayName>
        <Description>Scale multiplier for this unit when in tactical battles.</Description>
        <Hidden>1</Hidden>
        <DefaultValue>1.0</DefaultValue>
        <UnitStatGrouping>CombatStat</UnitStatGrouping>
    </UnitStatType>

Change defaultvalue to something lower. Alter the shrink/grow spells as you see fit.

Thankyou, i tryed to mod this but it seems that more than 9 units has a bad effect on units animation during combat, so no epic fights!
