Ability Help

[ShenLong Kazama]

I wanna make two abilities, one is a teleport and the other one is like a cloak of fire. I used blink and the burn ability from the demonhunter. Than i wanted to make the teleport and flame model to be blue fire. After that i tried it ingame but the fire doesn't appear. That's perhaps the case because the fire has a birth animation and not a stand animation. That's the same with a flamethrower model i got from this site, i wanted to use it as a standard missile but it doesn't appear too. So how can i make the models show up when i use the teleport and burn ability and when i shoot a missile ?

If I'm not wrong, you can create a dummy unit with a model of that special effect model.
Then create a trigger, for when you use that teleport skill, it will create that dummy unit.
Then, you add expiration time to that dummy and so on.. Don't forget to give the dummy unit an animation : "Birth" etc etc.

Even easier is that you download Magos Model Editor from the tools section and edit the names of the animations.

Ok now i have edited the blue fire so that it appears directly and not emerges. But now when i use it in the teleportation ability it appears, but it don't uses the death animation and just dissappears.

why dont you make 2 models? one with just the stand animation & after the spell is cast, then replace with the one with the death animation?

you must trigger it though...
