Changing color on units?

[Hemske]

Hey all, is there any way i can change the color on every (for example) footman with interval, like morphling on dota does?

With interval? What do you mean?
There is a Unit - Change color action.

Sorry for crappy english but thought it was written so, hmm how should i say, you know, when somethings happens over and over and over, i want the footmans to change color "over time" like: green (wait 3 seconds) red (wait 3 seconds) blue. And so on

Well there is no way to get a unit's color as far as I know. You can only set it. When you set the unit's color set a variable too.

Every 3 seconds
if UnitColorVariable == red then
set Footman's color to blue.
set UnitColorVariable to blue.
if UnitColorVariable == blue then
set Footman's color to green
set UnitColorVariable to green
if UnitColorVariable == green then
set Footman's color to red
set UnitColorVariable to red

Don't forget to set the UnitColorVariable

True, I left it out accidentally, but it should be self-explaining, I'll edit my post.

that actually wouldn't work. You would need to have else's in there, otherwise it would always be the same color.

• color change
  • Events
    • Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • acolorvar Equal to (==) Green
      • Then - Actions
        • Set acolorvar = Red
      • Else - Actions
        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • acolorvar Equal to (==) Red
          • Then - Actions
            • Set acolorvar = Blue
          • Else - Actions
            • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • acolorvar Equal to (==) Blue
              • Then - Actions
                • Set acolorvar = Green
              • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Change color of aaunit to acolorvar

acolorvar should also have a default color as red, blue, or green

I didn't put [ trigger] [/trigger] brackets because I wasn't writing a code. I don't think anyone would misunderstood what I was trying to say and yes, you have to put else there but I was hoping that anyone would notice that since it's self-explanatory.

Well ty all, ill try it.
