a bit of context,
it’s been almost a month that many people asked me how i managed to make my soldiers without headgear and/or show hairs. ( based on the screenshot that i made on my enhancement concept idea regarding the customization ). nothing too special, so, instead of replay to every dms, i decided to make this small guide.
Keep in mind, that this method of removing headgears currently only works within the editor, and not in the base game. for reason that i will explain. but i just want to put this as a header.
so, basically, it only works if you want to make screenshots, or… whatever you want to do with them.
How can i reproduce the screenshot that you did?
it’s, very simple. and there are two methods you can do.
Through adding an helmet and delete it:
this method, i’m 100% sure that it works, it’s more precise and reliable than the second method. although, it takes a bit of more clicks on your part.
-
- open the entity meny ( by pressing T, or click the Smile yellow icon at the top in the bar ):
- open the entity meny ( by pressing T, or click the Smile yellow icon at the top in the bar ):
-
Directly from Menu Entities:
click the small arrow that is looking down below the " Create Entity ( x / x ) and select Equipment" ( you might have to scroll down a bit ) -
in the search bar that will pop up, type " hair " ( without the “” ) and place it in your map.
-
after that you placed the desired hair, place ANY OTHER HEADGEAR. MUST BE AN HELMET.
( i’ll explain later why you also need an helmet ) MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER THE HELMET/HEADGEAR NAME!!!
-
Return to the game ( by pressing F12 ), and wear BOTH the Hairstyle, and the Helmet:
-
Once you wear both the helmet and the hairs, return to the editor ( by repressing F12 ).
press tab, type the name of the helmet that you place, Select it, then and press the option down below named: Select
( after that you pressed the select option, and the menu disappears, do not press anything else beside the Delete key. this way, it will remove the headgear )
and voilà:
ready to make some amazing screenshots:
2nd) Method
the second method is much quicker, but it’s a bit or more of a hit or miss.
what i mean by that, is that, you can just press tab, and use the search bar to find the exact headgear.
( which you would just have to find the exact name, of the head gear, and then delete it. )
problem is, sometimes it does not detect your character wearing a hat or cap, like in this occasion:
although, if your soldiers are wearing helmets, it’s going to be much easier:
because despite all the names, you alwas want to look and remove the one that contains : " heroes_items+attached_to_parent " in the string of the name.
because that one is the headgear attached to the guy you are controlling:
( and as you can see, i have not removed anything else beside the one with that particular " tag" : )
Why doesn’t work in normal matches?
the reason why it cannot and does not work in normal matches, it’s because currently there is no way to remove the helmet as you do not have acess to the console, nor the entity menu. so, that’s why you can only do it in the editor during the playtest.
and that’s it.
enjoy 
i hope this will be clear and answer to those people who are still wondering and still hit me in dms
