SWGANH Wiki is a repository of Star Wars Galaxies Developer information. This site is only meant to be used by SWGANH Developer team.

Description

/boostmorale: This very powerful Squad Leader ability allows the Squad Leader to boost the morale of their troopers by re-distributing all party wounds evently among all of its members. This ability takes a heavy toll on the Squad Leader's Action and Mind pools. Use the /setboostmorale <message> command to set the message the Squad Leader shouts when this ability is used. The Squad Leader must be the leader of the group for this to work.

Ability Breakdown & Details

The /boostmorale command will allow the Squad Leader to balance out the primary ham pool wounds of themself and their team. This ability does not affect pets in the group, only the players, and it only affects primary stat pool wounds, not secondary pools. Boost morale acts as an instantly used ability (possibly processes without a combat queue delay ). For example a squad leader is in a group of 20 and a player has incurred 1000 mind wounds. The squad leader uses boost morale to distribute 50 mind wounds to every player in the group. Ham costs of the ability are multiplied by the number of members in the group.

Note: The exact multiplier for group size is unknown so i will assume its a +1 multiplier per person added;Therefore a 20 person group multiplies the ham cost by 20.

Note: Base Ham costs are unknown.

Boost morale can have a vocalization message attached to it through using the /setboostmorale command. When a player issues the /setboostmorale command and privides a parameter, the player will see this message displayed whenever they use the /boostmorale command.

The boost morale effect can be applied to the group so long as they are on the same planet as the squad leader.

Note: Several squad leader abilities apply their effects planet wide. This range seems a bit excessive or exploitative, and probably should be limited to something along the lines of normal group range of 200 meters. It seems unlikely that these abilities were intended to be used planetwide.
