[General] Carrion Swarm Problem

[xorkatoss]

Hello, I have a very small problem with the Carrion Swarm ability, I changed the missile model but there seems to be a problem with the black things appearing on hit units.

I really have no idea how to remove those, can anybody help? =/

I believe that's hardcoded into carrion swarm. Try using Crushing Wave instead.

Believe it or not, but I've tested with the standard ability, and that effect isn't displayed. However, if you make a custom one, you can't remove that. Interesting...

That's crazy. Why you do dat, Blizzard?

Maybe the effect is complementary to the normal carrion swarm unit model.

By the way, is it possible that immolation and permanent immolation have the same problem? Cause I tried modifying those but no progress yet.

Those are fine. I've never had any problem with them. You probably know this already, but I'm typing it anyway: You change the immolation's effects via buffs.

idk man; contact 'em.

Sure, that's why I removed all buffs from it. Removing the buff "immolation" should've solved the problem as it uses the target effect model in "Art - special", but the effect stays.

You can't just remove buffs from abilities. If you do that and leave the Stats - Buffs field empty the ability will still use the standard buff. You either need to edit the buff itself or make the ability use a custom buff.

 

[Helpful Pug]

That's either in "Art - Special" or it's hardcoded (trust me, as you learn more, you will come to despise Blizzard for all the random hardcoded garbage)

Either way, you're better off basing the ability on "Crushing Wave," which does the exact same thing (you could also use the Tauren Chieftain's "Shockwave")

 

[Kaijyuu]

Shockwave does terrain deformations which are best avoided. Crushing wave is best.

 

[xorkatoss]

well there actually seems to be the same problem with crushing wave as well...
guess i will just make a custom shockwave or smth >_>

thank you all for helping! (+3)
