Lunarman's Powers

[Lunarman]

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can simulate his power growing stronger when there is a full moon. I thought about nocturnal but what I really want is him to turn into his armoured form when the moon is out, not just have more energy.

Do you think there's a way of setting it so that he transforms when the light is darker (and then I could give him a power to control the light or something like that). It might be better if he just could shapeshift into his armoured form for 60s and then change back with no energy.

Any ideas?

BTW: Here is a quote of his powers

Another version of Lunarman is one that can create weapons out of moonlight. Similar to green lantern except he can only create weapons and armor, such as swords, axes , shield and full body armor. These powers belong to the "avatar" version of Lunarman or Lunarman 1 (from the first dimension,but I won't go into that now). Lunarman's weapon creating abilities are strongest when the moon is full when he can create full suit of armor out of moonlight which dramatically boost his strength and speed.

Thankyou

i know very little about this whole scripting thing but isn't nocturnal basically a trigger that says 'if its dark, character gets x bonus'. couldn't you then change the outcome of the trigger to be transforms into armour version? you'd keep the 'when dark' trigger, but change 'get x bonus' to transform into armoured form.
as to how you'd actually do this, i have no idea.

Yeah, that's how Nocturnal is set up. I don't see why you couldn't change the bonus to being armored form, then maybe even give armored form the sunlight powered bonus with the reverse effect.

[Lunarman]

I just had a look at this and it's not too good. Nocturnal can't trigger a shapeshift unless I do some coding, which I could try but I'd rather not. What I've done for now is has Lunarman set up as a shapeshifter and he can chaneg to his armour version but when he uses up all his energy he changes back.

Can't you just give him accidental form and set the trigger to isNight?

[Lunarman]

That what I want but that trigger doesn't appear to be availible.

It's on the bottom of the list. It's the third from bottom to top.

Ok, thankyou

[UnkoMan]

You will be releasing this file with the skin, right?

I sure hope so.

[Lunarman]

Well, if the demand is there. Last time I released skins no one downloaded them, but looking at them now I can see why, lol! Seeing as my skinning powers have developed I may release it and the hero file too.

You know what I just thought could be a really neat idea, if you could do...

Give him the option to change to armored form whenever he likes, but he can only maintain it if it is dark enough, otherwise he reverts back to regular. Thus making it nothing but a waste of time in daylight.
