Is there a way I can recreate a "shield" effect around a crpl core?

Essentially, I want to have the field image caused by a powered shield to be set as the same radius/range as my damaging CRPL core.

Just to be clear, did you want the repulsion effect as well?

The image is straightforward, there's one in the Sleeper template as well as in a few other maps. The pulsing ring is a little more effort.


Self "shield" "Custom99" SetImage #Change depending upon which slot the shield image goes into.
Self "shield" <-Range 4 mul dup SetImageScale
Self "shield" -0.1 SetImagePositionZ

No, just the image was the original idea.

In the code it says "Change depending upon which slot the shield image goes into."

Does this mean I need a custom image? Is there a way for me to "rip" the original shield image?

You will need a custom image. This is if you are looking for the "umbrella" rather than the unit.
