how can i make a hero look like a building

[andreasaspenberg]

it is for a map project i have been working on. i tried to change the model of the hero to that of the building but that crashed the game after a while.

 

[supertoinkz]

It crashed? It's a problem that lies in the model.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

why is that?

 

[supertoinkz]

i tried to change the model of the hero to that of the building but that crashed the game after a while.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i have reported you for what you did. please let some other person post content that isnt evil.

 

[supertoinkz]

What?
You really don't understand what I'm saying.

You said

"i tried to change the model of the hero to that of the building but that crashed the game after a while."

You change the model of the hero and it crashed right? If it's a custom model, the problem lies in the model, if it's an ingame model, there is something (trigger/object data/import) making the game to crash.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the model i used is built-in. i dont use any script since the project dont require it.

 

[Etzer]

Epic lolz.
He reports you for helping...
OMFG

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i wrote this topic to get help with a project but i got harassed instead. why?

 

[Etzer]

He did not harass you, he quote'd you!

 

[General Frank]

To make some people understand:

Lies - Not in the meaning of telling wrong things, but in the meaning of that the model has errors, or contains flaws.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

please help me with the problem.

 

[General Frank]

He tried to help you but you are either ignoring it or not reading it at all.
Just answer supertoink's question.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i cant see any attempt to help me even though i read all of it

You have not read this?

 

[takakenji]

people like this makes me want to facepalm

 

[General Frank]

andreas or us who want to help?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i read what you wrote but there isnt any sollution in it.

 

[General Frank]

Because we simply do not know if you are using normal or imported models. Damnit learn to read carefully what other people write.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i already wrote what kind of model i used.

 

[General Frank]

Mind giving us the map and then say us what model needs to be replaced by which?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

my maps are classified. i have replaced the heroes models with towers.

 

[General Frank]

Well, then there really no help for you.
You might post some screeshots. And I think nobody really wants to steal your basic maps anyway.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i told you what i did to cause the crash.

 

[General Frank]

Have you tried setting a path for the hero? Something like the tower and other buildings have.

 

[sentess]

What model do you use? I don't talk about imported model, or in-built.. Just wich model it is.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

pathing map isnt supported for heroes. i use the models of the human towers.

 

[General Frank]

Why don't you simple open blizzards tower defence any look how they made it?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the heroes are meant to be mobile rather than stationary.

 

[General Frank]

Oh well, that is not possible. Either you have a building or a unit type hero. It won't work with root/unroot anyway.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i got them to work. the problem is that the game crashed for some reason. i have tested it a bit more. the game crash if the hero looking like a tower destroys a building.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i have managed to get heroes to look like towers. the problem is that the game crash whenever the heroes destroy buildings.

 

[sentess]

I just tried making a hero with a building model... Placed a lumber mill and tested it. And I did not get a crash when the building was destroyed...

And you say that you use in-game models only?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

currect. though i played against the orcs.

 

[Ultimazed]

Simple solution : Don't destroy buildings with your hero-building !!

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i want the heroes to be able to destroy anything.

 

[sentess]

Sorry... I don't get how your opponet can have anything to do with this.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

it seems to crash when the enemies base is attacked.

 

[ikillforeyou]

Post the map.. We cant help you, i can guarentee you that if you're using an ingame model then attacking a building wont crash it..

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i am using an ingame model. thats all i currently use in that map. here is the map anyway.

 

[ikillforeyou]

hmm, try not to set "Stats - is a building" to "true" just shift+press stats - movement speed and stats - turn rate to "0"

 

[andreasaspenberg]

there isnt any problems with the other towers, just the hero towers.

 

[supertoinkz]

Didn't crash. Built every heroes and no crash.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the game crash when the heroes attack the enemy base.

 

[Ultimazed]

Well I have Tried your map.
First of ... I played as humans against undead ...
I made th archmage and paladin, and defeated two heroes I preselected on the map.

=> No Crash.

I then Decided to destroy the undead base wich fled to the maps darkned borders so it was unreachable.
I went for the goldmine which fortunately wasn't alive, and so i managed to destroy it after killing the three acolytes restoring its life.

=> And Again no crash.

So could you please specify at what exact moment, with what exact units does the game crash ? Because it is just impossible for me to simulate every possible combination with every possible hero ...
And the map seems fine ... except for the face that I cannot select more than 1 hero at a time !



PS : And Mr General Frank, Moderator sir, thank you for my ''spamming'' alert but this guy is just unbelievable, and I'm far from being the only one doing it ... As far as I can tell, we're very far from getting a solution for that poster's (As Person who posts on the forum and not a sheet of paper on the wall since you like obvious clarifications ) incomprehensible problem so we may as well try & enjoy answering as long as we're polite...
Thank you for your understanding .

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried to play against the humans as well as the orcs.(it crashed both times.) just to test it tried to play against the undead but then it didnt crash.

 

[Goolygot]

Then it may be your warcraft, try reinstalling it.

 

[General Frank]

Or you might try to apply the newest patch.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i already use the latest patch. however the problem seem to be related to certain races. since the game doesnt crash when fighting the undead. though it crash when fighting against all other races. i still need help with solving the problem.

 

[Damage]

Doesn't seem to crash for me, nor is there any reason it should unless your Warcraft has something wrong with it.
