Can't find the location to change the model file for Goblin mine explosion

[marvey323]

Searched the forum threads, no luck.

Basically, I have an alternate effect for the explosion caused by a goblin mine but I cant locate the field to change effect.

The skill calls from two abilities:

1. AOE damage upon death (Goblin Mine)
and
2. Mine - exploding (Goblin Land Mine)

But none of those abilities have fields that call the default explosion effect ?

You could use triggers something like:
Event: A unit dies

Cond: Unit Type of Triggering Unit quals to Land Mine

Actions:
-Point variable = Position of Triggering Unit
-Special effect at point
-Destroy last created effect
-Custom script: call RemoveLoc

It looks like the explosion is part of the model itself. It's Death Spell animation is the one with the explosion. If you want a custom explosion you will have to trigger it like UgoUgo said.

Thanks guys. So I've done exactly that, and it works perfectly except when I try to change the model of the goblin mine to something else, the special effect from the trigger wont show up in game.

I tried using overhead, origin attachments.. neither one works.

Do not use create special effect at attachment point for this case. Use create special effect at point instead.

This is because some of the models do not support attachment points, thus why nothing happened.

Maybe the effect is in unit's animation or the special death model of the mine.

Thanks I used position of unit and it works perfectly ! Thanks !

[Side note: anyone know of any 'trickster' themed spells ? (i.e. mischievous such as planting mines, creating illusions, .. any other ideas ? )

You could try this one Theivery Campaign It's not bad, mostly stealth and assassination.

->

'position of unit' leaks, in case you did exactly as you said.

And he did clean it with remove location.
