[Solved] Attachment Team Color Always Red

[UmbraUnda]

Hello,

I need help diagnosing why, in my medieval map, all the attachments for player's units are only red instead of being the team color of the unit's owning player. Did I accidentally mis-edit something in Mdlvis when making the attachments? Feel free to download the map and test for yourself - its unprotected.

Appreciate any advice or help,
UmbraUnda

Did you put team color textures on the attachments when you made them ?

The attachments use textures that are in-game (mostly) which already have team color.
There are a few custom textures however they are based on in-game textures and I left the team color portion as is.

Not sure what the texture has to do with this. Since red (player 1) is already working - I just can't figure out why they won't change to other player's team colors.

Yeah but I think you need to create another texture inside the material, something like Replaceble ID or something.

Hmm - just checked some of the attachments. There is 'Replaceable ID 1' in the texture list and is used in the main material. Is the ID # wrong or something?

Appearently it's right. I also checked on blizzard models and they are set as Unshaded and Two Sided also.
PS: Congratz for the project I'm working in something similiar, but different.

What's right? Replaceable ID 1? Hmm, alright.

Thanks mate. It's a long way from done but its a good start.

So no other ideas of why TC is only red for attachments?

If you can, feel free to download my map and check out the attachment files yourself.

Alright thanks @General Frank , problem identified as a flaw in the game engine. Hitting alt + a twice in game fixes it.

Let me know if anyone comes up with a trigger that can fix it automatically.

Ah, so that's it. It's not a problem at all man, it's a game function called "Set Ally Color Mode", it can be found on the side of the minimap while in game, it lets you toggle between colors for allies, self and foes. You can consider the problem solved.
PS: I had already tried your map a few weeks ago

You're welcome, mate!
