Aura's graphics displays very big with some models

[MN Lahmar]

When some models from War3 like Akama has Immolation or Unholy aura, the aura's graphics displays very big unlike other models. So the question is: Is there a way to reduce those graphics' sizes with Object Editor maybe in Art section?

The problem is that the effects are scaled with the models. The Akama model must have its scaling value higher than 1. What you can do is make it so the effects don't scale with the model, but this has to be done for each model and may cause other problems. There should be a field that says something like "scale projectiles with model" and set it to false (I think, I'll double check and update later)

You can also make the effects into a dummy unit and change it to whatever size you want. Then just have a periodic trigger that moves the dummy to the position of the unit every .03 seconds. Remember to remove leaks though or you will have major lag problems.

You can export the akama model, resize it to a larger scale (e.g. with magos model editor) and import it back in. Then you can use smaller scaling value in object editor while the model still appears larger and the effects will have their normal size.

Or enlarge the effects, since Akama will take up much space.

The last time I tried to resize a unit the animations ended up getting screwed up pretty bad too.

That happens, because the farther the vertices are from the animation points, they mess up. and spike all around.
