Description:

FORGES OF DORN: ASTARTES ABILITIES

STATUS: STABLE
A Warhammer 40,000-inspired mod that equips Space Marines with iconic abilities from the Adeptus Astartes arsenal. Deploy cloaking abilities, unleash righteous fury upon your enemies, or rally your brothers with a battle cry—each ability is fully customizable and balanced for tactical gameplay.

FEATURES

8 CORE ABILITIES

  • 1 | Camo Cloak – Temporarily vanish from enemy sight, perfect for stealth assaults.
  • 2 | Auspex Scanner – Reveal hidden foes with advanced targeting augurs.
  • 3 | Grapnel Launcher – Scale terrain swiftly with powered ascension hooks and Stun enemies upon nearby Impact.
  • 4 | Iron Halo – Activate a personal energy shield to deflect incoming fire.
  • 5 | Techmarine Turret – Deploy an automated sentry gun for area denial.
  • 6 | Battle Cry – Inspire nearby allies with a morale-boosting warcry, creates a shockwave that damages and pushes away enemies.
  • 7 | Righteous Fury – Enter a berserk state, Quickly healing you and enhancing melee lethality.
  • 8 | Chapter Banner – Plant a banner spotting the symbol of your chapter that buffs allies in its radius, Repairs armor and Heals allies within buff radius.

FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION
3DEN Attributes – Assign abilities to units via checkbox in the editor.
Zeus Modules – Assign abilities to units via Zeus (requires Zeus Enhanced).
Scripting Support – Dynamically apply abilities via scripts.

SCRIPTING EXAMPLE
// Apply an ability to a unit (e.g., Camo Cloak = 1, Iron Halo = 4) _unit setVariable ["PHEN_AstartesAbility", 1, true]; // Reset ability (0 = none) _unit setVariable ["PHEN_AstartesAbility", 0, true];

LOTS OF SETTNGS!
Each ability has configurable cooldowns, ranges and much more via CBA settings, ensuring balance without sacrificing immersion.

Note: Camo-Cloak as a player
When you as the player (on your Client) use Camo Cloak it won’t hide your model, but still show the cloak effect of being cloaked. This is to prevent being able to phase through walls and such; Other players will still see you fully invisible.

COMPATIBILITY

✔ Works with ACE3 and most 40K-themed mods.
✔ Designed for both singleplayer and multiplayer.
✔ Lightweight performance impact.
