[SD/Modeling] An effect with player team color that is not very showy

[HerlySQR]

Hello, I'm working in a map with somebody else, and the unit models he used don't have place to put the player team color, and is annoying that I can't difference from who are the units in the map when I play (even in singleplayer for the AI enemies), I suggested use the hero glow, but he didn't like the idea, so I wanna know if there is a model that I could use to achieve that, but is not too showy either.

You can use this flag model, scale it down using a model editor, and then attach them to the units in-game using a custom "Life Regeneration Aura" ability.

Hmm, I'm not convinced, I was thinking more in something like an orb or aura (that doesn't get the same attention a hero glow would get).

Editing the models to add Team color isn't an option?

I'm not who made the models, was my mate (and not completly from him, also I don't know modeling), and if he wanted he would did it.

something like an orb

Would this work? Just replaced the texture in the orb of fire model to teamcolor glow.
