There are 3 main ways (that I know of) which you could use to make an actor invincible

1. Nigh Indestructible (aka structural integrity tweak) - Bullets bounce off this guy, lasers get stopped dead, and rocket launchers don't even scratch him.

To achieve this effect,
1. Open up Cortex Command folder...
2. Open up the .ini script of the actor you want to change (eg. for Coalition soldiers, open up Coalition.rte/Actors/Soldier/Soldier.ini)
3. Find this line of code

Code:

PresetName = Soldier Light

4. About a dozen lines beneath this line of code, find this piece of code

Code:

   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Kevlared Flesh
      Resolution = 4
      Depth = 0

5. Change "Kevlared Flesh" to "Mega Metal" (without quotes) or "Test" (if you want the guy to be really indestructible)
6. (optional but recommended) Find a line of code called

Code:

ImpulseDamageThreshold = 2500

and another line of code called

Code:

GibImpulseLimit = 3650

and tweak the numbers to some ridiculous value like 999999.

Alternatively for step 5, you could just change the code into

Code:

   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Kevlared Flesh
         StructuralIntegrity = 9999
      Resolution = 4
      Depth = 0

2. Mega Meat Shield (aka wound tweak) - Sure bullets might penetrate this guy and sure he might bleed, but you can empty a hundred gatling gun clips into him and he'll still be standing.

1. Copy this code and paste it into whatever .ini file you're working with.

Code:

AddEffect = AEmitter
   PresetName = Wound Flesh Entry No Damage
   Mass = 0.0001
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Effects/Wounds/FleshWoundA.bmp
   FrameCount = 1
   SpriteOffset = Vector
      X = -1
      Y = -2
   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Flesh
      Resolution = 2
      Depth = 5
   DeepGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Flesh
      Resolution = 3
      Depth = 5
   DeepCheck = 0
   JointStrength = 10000
   JointStiffness = 1
   DrawAfterParent = 1
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Drop Blood
      Spread = 0.1
      MaxVelocity = 4
      MinVelocity = 1
   BurstSound = Sound
      CopyOf = Flesh Penetration Hit
   EmissionEnabled = 1
   EmissionCountLimit = 20
   EmissionsIgnoreThis = 1
   ParticlesPerMinute = 100
   BurstSize = 8
   BurstScale = 3
   BurstDamage = 0 //Important
   BurstTriggered = 1
   EmissionDamage = 0 //Also Important
   Flash = None
   FlashOnlyOnBurst = 0

2. Open the .ini file of whatever unit you're changing and find this line of code

Code:

   EntryWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Wound Flesh Entry
   ExitWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Wound Flesh Exit

3. Change the "Wound Flesh Entry" and "Wound Flesh Exit" to "Wound Flesh Entry No Damage" (without " ")
4. Find the line

Code:

GibWoundLimit = 20

and change the 20 to either 999999 or -1

3. Ghost Style Fighter - You can see this guy, you can feel this guy, but you just can't shoot this guy. (side effects such as missing body and floating limbs may occur)
1. Make an ordinary text file and copy this script into the text file

Code:

Function Update(self)
      for i = 0, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() do
         if MovableMan:GetRootMOID(i) == self.ID then
            local object = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
            if not(object:IsDevice()) then
               object.Scale = 0;
            end
         end
      end
end

2. Name this script "Ghost.lua" and put it in some .rte folder (lets just say the Coalition.rte folder)
3. Open up actor file you want to mod and beneath its PresetName, add this line:

Code:

ScriptPath = Coalition.rte/Invis.lua

And I spent way too much time writing this :roll:

edit: Just realized this was my 200th post
edit2: There are at least a dozen other ways to create an invincible actor, although it kinda depends on how far you can stretch your imagination. I won't bother posting the code here, but if you search up "phoenix potion", you'll be able to find a mod which allows your actor to always resurrect itself whenever it dies. A cooler version would be the They Hunger mod which has these eldritch abomination like creatures capable of literally reassembling themselves after you've blown them to pieces, several dozen times.

Title says all. How can i make script to make soldiers regenerate health ?

Post subject:	Re: How to make script to regenerate health
Pretty easily actually. However, it might not work like you think. The actual code for increasing their health is like so: Code: function onUpdate(self) if self.Health < 100 then self.Health = self.Health + 1; end end Save that into a text file, change the file extension to .lua, and add a line to the Actor's ini: ScriptPath = (your mod's rte)/(path to lua file).lua However, this will only increase the numerical health value above the actor's head. If they have many wounds in their body, they might have body parts begin gibbing. You can fix this in ini by increasing the GibWoundLimit on all of their body parts.

Thanks and how can i make certain unit to have unlimited armor, to make him undestructable ?

That's not such an easy request. Your best bet is to take the .ini for your actor, find the definition for the armour and set the gibwoundlimit and gibimpulselimit to very high, or don't set it.

you can make an actor invincible by making all of his limbs/attachments made of material with high enough integrity that nothing can damage it. Like "Test".

Oh my god thank you, this is realy helpfull and this is what exactly what i was searching for. One more question tho, where can i find list of all avaible materials ?

Base.rte/Materials.ini Lists them all in order of index.

Material only determines how strong his skin is, if it's pierced it will still use the same wounds as before. You'd have to change the wounds definitions for him if you wanted his wounds to look and bleed differently.

Post subject:	Re: How to make script to regenerate health
Metal is much tougher than flesh, but not indestructible tough. You should add StructuralIntegrity = X after CopyOf = Metal, where X is the "toughness" of the material. As a reference, sand is 25, armoured flesh is 40, concrete 90, metal 110 and mega metal 190. If you make it 220 or more aprox., most vanilla guns won't be able to damage the actor. But note, wounds will still hurt the actor and he will still bleed, but making wounds will be much harder. EDIT: Bah, Ninja'd.

Informally speaking, metal is a lot weaker than you'd think.

Post subject:	Re: How to make script to regenerate health
There's two entries on an actor's part definitions, EntryWound and ExitWound, both of those refer to AEmitters which you will need to find if they're not in the same file. Those wounds have images associated with them and a burstdamage and whatnot, it should be fairly self-explanatory. I don't have the Cortex files in front of me so I can't be too specific, sadly.

Post subject:	Re: How to make script to regenerate health
Hey, sorry to necro this thread, but I was wondering about how to make the health regen more Call of Duty style (which is basically you take hits and your screen is all bloody, but then you find cover, you wait 5-7 seconds and you start to regenerate your health). It makes it more fair than just always regenerating health. And one more question if you're willing to answer: I haven't tried out the script, but how fast does it regen, and is that adjustable?
