https://ageofempiresonline.fandom.com/wiki/Priest I like that they are culturally different; we could have Greeks who, instead of being priests, are sophists or philosophers. The Romans could have senators or politicians who bribed. The Celts could heal and fight. And Middle Eastern religions could be more powerful with conversion.

Edit:I was wrong, the Babylonian priests cast curses, they do not convert. Conversion from AoEO project Celeste. Limit of Conversions: A single Priest cannot convert an entire army at once. He can only convert one unit at a time and must wait for his ability to recharge (cooldown) before attempting to convert another. - Immunity after Conversion: Units that have just been converted are immune to being converted again for a short period of time. This prevents "ping-ponging" of units between two players with priests.

The differences between unit ranks were pretty obvious in the early alphas. Can you guess which of these units are champions?

<Entity parent="template_unit_support_healer"> <Convert> <Range>20</Range> <ChancePerSecond>0.05</ChancePerSecond> <Interval>1000</Interval> <Cooldown>5000</Cooldown> <Cost> <faith>50</faith> </Cost> <FaithRegenRate>1</FaithRegenRate> <MaxFaith>100</MaxFaith> <CurrentFaith>100</CurrentFaith> <UnconvertibleClasses>Hero Mechanical Siege</UnconvertibleClasses> <ConvertibleClasses>Infantry Cavalry Support</ConvertibleClasses> <RangeOverlay> <LineTexture>heal_overlay_range.png</LineTexture> <LineTextureMask>heal_overlay_range_mask.png</LineTextureMask> <LineThickness>0.35</LineThickness> </RangeOverlay> </Convert> </Entity> Faith. Auto-regeneration of faith.Maximum faith. Cooldown: It would be a waiting time in video games before using a skill. Chance: It is done randomly, it is not similar to capture, in capture you do not fail, if you have freedom that your unit is not stopped.If you fail, you waste faith and have to start over. The chance is given per second.

Yes, that's why I called tennis, it was more frenetic, maybe even ping pong. It will be a long time before we have mechanics like that.

Reminds me: you ever heard of Wololo Football?

By the way, it is not just one implementation that I will try. Thanks for the recommendation. The official ticket says there are several planned implementations. For now I'm looking for the AoE II based implementation.

In theory I want it to work differently, I want it to have a cooldown and cost faith or power/mana. The other thing is to prevent what happened with the catapults, a few alphas ago. Then it looked like a tennis match.

@Classic-Burger, why don't you use the existing capture system? Would be much easier. Probably works right away with only few tweaks in templates: I) Add a capture attack to template_unit_support_healer.xml II) Add capture points to all units you want to be able to be converted (you can also then put different values in hero, champion templates...) Just tested it and it seems seamless. If you really want to add some randomization too into the capture then you could afterward add it to Capturable.js, but you could do it now in 2 lines of code too.

I didn't know you could do that, split unitai.js with a new one. "UnitAICanConvert.js" UnitAICanConvert.js

Additional information to explore. https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/997 I didn't know the team were looking to have multiple mechanics, including "conversion" But should it be called conversion or convert?

Unitai.js It's definitely a monstrosity. What a difficult thing, no wonder no one tries to introduce new commands and components lately. https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/2579 This is going to be a wall to break down in my project, that is: trying to implement conversion in unit AI.

Conversion.js a copy of "heal" Emulates heal but uses similar logic for conversion. It's just one of several files, and I think you'll add something. I need ideas. conversion.rar

Support the task/ticket/patch.

Good job, this has been requested for years.

The video made it apparent that the healer is actually sliding on the ice. I guess the fix will be putting some spikes on his shoe model.

@VanthaVery well done! Thank you very much!

Your mom when you run around in winter without your scarf: healing_glide_reproduce3.mp4 The devs know whats up and it will be fixed next alpha. No further comment

This is really nice work, @Vantha. Thanks!

how jc must be feeling after any small inconvenience

Good news, folks! https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8318

I found a list of free royalties sounds there, but just to try it out.

I think the biggest questions is: will the 0 AD priest chant Wololo?

I thought you were adapting A10 to A27.

@Classic-Burger Yes. Petra was introduced in Alpha 16 and it's not compatible. And I'm not "going to use" it, I'm already using it.
