Fireblast

An improved fireball which splits into 4 smaller ones on impact

Has omnilights, sound and a realistic parabolic flight path (calculated with c++ and the standard parabolic function :)
Just noticed that this looks very much like the mortar from worms :D

Update1:
Added 2 other death anims and made the shrapnels more random (thanks to HailFireer for that advice)
For all model makers:
Warcraft 3 is very picky when it comes to the order of animations
In my case it only worked after I placed the Stand animation between the first and second death animation followed by the third one
I really don't know why it is like that but it took me half an hour and lots of work to figure it out o_O
New gif is in the works

Update2:
Added pritority planes again (seems like magos likes eating them :p )
New gif as well (too bad I noticed the thing with the planes after that)

Looks nice. But instead of making the explosion ring billboarded, i would recommend to aling it to the ground.

actually I don't know anything about modeling; I'm just playing around with magos'
I did not understand what you said neither how to archive that effect :grin:
edit:
if you are talking about making the shockwave only go over the xy-plane I am sorry to say that every time I save it "XY Quad" enabled it just does not show ingame :S
