Moding a Goneberserk Unit..

[Atreidi]

How can I create a unit that has goneberserk from the start of battle?

Is there a unit I can copy stats from?

[Edi]

You can't and no, there isn't.

Gone berserk only manifests is a berserker is wounded or through certain items (Sun Sword, Flesh Eater, the wolf pelt armor)

You could probably give a commander a #onebattle spell that casts touch of madness. I believe that one of Burnsaber's pretenders (Grungi?) does this in his dwarf mod.

Touch of madness selfinflicts the caster?

All the slayer commanders in that mod cast a berserk spell at the start of combat. It seems that when they've got things near them it won't always get the commander too. It usually does though.

[Atreidi]

I see... There must be a way to do it. There is an item that gives you the goneberserk skill upon equipment. Would there be a way to script it into a commander or unit through that item perhaps?

[Edi]

Only by giving it to the commander in a map file. Not doable through mod.

maybe, create a new spell with #copyspell "touch of madness" and setting aoe/range 0, that should give a single target "touch" on yourself only; maybe.

You can't #onebattlespell custom spells.

Sure you can.

You #copyspell an existing spell to a custom slot, then overwrite the original.

For example I used this code in my Rohan mod:

-------------One Battle Spell for King of Rohan---------------

#newspell
#copyspell 166
#end

#selectspell 166
#clear
#school -1
#researchlevel 0
#damage 2321
#nreff 4
#range 1
#effect 1
#end

---------------------------------------------------

The end result was that the original spell in slot 166 worked fine and I was able to use #onebattlespell to spawn a group of royal guards for the King of Rohan.
