FlamethrowerSpawnObj model

Chewii · May 4, 2013

Hey there, When I set the model named above to a unit and place it on map, it will just trigger the flamethrower effect once then it disappears. I want the flame to be seen at all times, is this possible?

I think you create the effects in periodical time better.

You could make a periodic trigger that creates the effect over and over again..

EDIT: Xian posted faster^

yeah, but the effect is really small I want it bigger, then I have to make units right?

EmoBrother · May 4, 2013

yes, dummy units.

Periodic event and effects cannot be set to bigger except if you set the casting unit's scaling size, automatically the effect will grow too.

So I suggest making a dummy unit and mke it big then order it to cast the spell with the special effect and maybe the effect of the Flamethower will show up larger.

You can just periodically play the unit's animation..

Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s birth animation

Hmmm will that work? I looked up the animation and it had no name..

You mean no animation names? If yes, you need to type animation names. Example of animatiion names are: birth, death, stand. attack and more...

Well that model has no animations. If you look at the display on the left while selecting the unit you can verify that.
I just destroyed the unit and created a new one right after

You can open the model in Magos and rename/name the animation through the sequence manager but make sure you don't create your own animation name, make use of the common ones like spell, attack.. stuff like that..

haha ty, but I think i'll get the x,y positions and create the fire there

If you're using a normal attack, then use a damage engine to detect if the attack landed on the enemy unit, then create a dummy fire unit effect there.
