Changing scale of an effect.

[robszol]

Hello, I switched the Blood Mage's spheres to a custom sphere, which just so happened to be a huge ass sphere

http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Models&ID=2025&sid=3a3e9de0ff0be3cbb8766fc4a138b568

And if I scale projectiles as 0.1 then it turns out to be an OK size (for the spheres), but then my Hero is also 0.1 as big.

Art - Scale Projectiles True
Art - Scaling Value 0.1

the sphere is an ability and doesn't have a scaling option.

Halp! (im using the regular WC World Editor)


it would be great tosuggest a tool that scales 3D objects like that.

Perhaps Oinkerwinkle's model-editing tools could help; I'm not sure. Search the model forum of wc3campaigns.com for it. It may be stickied.

Before importing in W. EDitor the custom Globe that u will use in the sphere ability, scale him down to the size you wish ,you can use Oinkerwinkle Vertex Modify.
After this import in your map and do the rest

OK, so I downloaded that Oinkerwinkle Vertex Modify program and the program to convert MDX to MDL ad visa versa.

I scaled down my geosets to a good size and loaded it back to my map successfully.
BUT I don't have that awesome fire that encircles the sphere! That was practically the best part.

I loaded all 6 geosets, scaled accordngly, then merged them all back and no dice.


Please help!! this is getting frustrating =(

(thanks for all your help so far, i'm getting somewhere)

I'm guessing I need to scale the particles??

Its abiously that u dont know how to use that program
Open your model in Vertex Modify , and select Geoset1 then after u scale it , click on File-Switch Geoset and choose geoset 2 scale geoset2 like the first one and so one ... dont merge them again

 

[robszol]

right, ok I did that and now I have about 6 floating spheres of differing colours and the flames are still their original size. It looks like this

In all 6 geosets, I see nothing that resembles the "fire"
except for a flat box...which I scaled. I suspect that might be the emitter for the fire. In which case isn't scaling the fire anyway.
