Changing Power Tome Effect

[udg_Potato]

Hi guys,

is there any way to change the effect once any Tome has been used?

This is the effect I'm talking about:

Also additional question - I removed every effect from mass teleport, but it still leaves a big circle on the ground, tried searching for it in buffs or effects but there is nothing related to it. Is it hardcoded that way?

That effect occurs when you pick up a tome and the death animation of the item tome model is played.
To remove that effect I believe one can make a trigger that removes the item from the game when its acquired.

I dont know about the circle that occurs with mass teleport though. All I can say is that I have not seen that circle effect anywhere in the editor. My guess is that its hardcoded but I dont know.

Use Every map that uses tomes should have this trigger. As many of us know, tomes never get removed after used, they stay as tiny little icons in the game, well, indefinitely. This trigger removes those nasty tomes. All you have to do is copy & paste this one trigger into your map and it works...

EDIT:
Oh, that is from the death animation of the effect. You can change the death animation.

Cool, but where do I do that =P

You can use Magos Model Editor or Matrix Eater for that

You still need triggers to remove the tome item (powerup specifically) after automatic consumption, otherwise it can be considered a leak of sorts. Tomes used from inventory (Reign of Chaos tomes) do not have this problem.

I was reminded of this thread when I checked out some ubersplats. The mass teleport circle is an ubersplat. You can remove the ubersplat. I am unsure if it can be referenced reassuringly. But hey, at least its something.

Heres an unpolished example that works for Mass Teleport.

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.30 seconds
    • Ubersplat - Destroy (Last created ubersplat)

Nice find. However a solution is needed that does not use TriggerSleepAction waits since otherwise it could incorrectly remove a unit blob shadow or other ubersplat than the mass teleport.
