Great, have you thought of giving cliff stand animations to utilize it as a minickery to trick people into thinking they are real cliffs.

that would require overhauling it completely, i'm not doing that

!!WoW!!
Now that is what I call a "Mimic Golem."

That would be great although I think you can still hide it near the cliffs even in this state. Also, funny model! And very creative!

 

[Lord_Of_Outland]

Great model!

 

[Diegoit]

Finallyyyy!!, what next? Terrain variations?

 

[P3in]

This model...is pure legend !!!!


I've also edited your clifford golem, just replaced the cliff1 texture with cliff0 so when you import it can also take custom texture from your cliff0, not the actual wc3 texture like in the cliff0 and cliff1 versions.
If i have your permission, i can attach it to this post.

Edit:
Ok, here is the model.

there is no need to ask for a permission, all my models are free to edit, doesn't matter if it's just for personal use or uploading your edits somewhere

Great, thanks !
The animations are just amazing, i love the Death leg and arm collapse, it's just wonderful.

 

[Ceterai]

The idea with the bird is very lovely and cute:3

Clifford the big green... cliff...

 

[Kyrbi0]

This is ridiculous & I love it.

 

[Villagerino]

A wonderful mix of creativity and animations!

 

[StormKnight]

I love it, but you have something really unique here, if you look at this model you'll see the author loaded it with many tileset textures, maybe try replicating that because i think your model is more useful because it has a more standard golem-esque animation.

yeah i can see they're "loaded" but they are completely unused, you can delete them and nothing will change
this game has been out for 20 years, i trust that people will find a way to replace a texture on their own

 

[MtegoHyena]

WOOOOW I love it! Really useful and beautiful
5/5!

AND THIS BIRD!!!

 

[Resyak]

The bird is amazing Nice model, 5/5

 

[A]mun]

Unexpectedly creative and invigorating!

 

[ShadowMidas]

Great.

 

[Cheshire]

very creative, kind of a model with a built in narrative. I'm still a little disappointed this isn't a big red dog....

I don't think you'd necessarily need to rework it to add such an animation. Just have a separate geoset that looks like 1-tile-high cliff, and make a "root" and "unroot" animations - "root" will have him hunch over himself, while the cliff geoset grows beneath him and envelops him, while he is shrinking slightly to fit inside. Unroot will have him jump out of hiding, possibly with a lot of dust and rock particles to hide clipping and the disappearing of the cliff geoset.

This method has the upside that you can use the root mechanic of NE buildings and have him have actual and precise positioning and path blocking when rooted/camouflaged. I think you can also have buildings obscure vision similar to cliffs and trees, but I might be mistaken. If only you could make him unselectable in this state, he would be indistinguishable from an actual cliff (unless he's using a city/geometric cliff texture lol)

Aaanyway, this model is genius and I love the birb. I have a theory that the birb is a wizard that is controlling the golem and this is its plan to take over the world... editor. This is only further supported by the fact that in the death animation it flies away, only to construct another golem and try again. It's only a temporary setback. He will succeed in his evil plans. Eventually.

it's not possible to make it look exactly like a cliff unless the whole map is completely flat but even then i'm pretty sure the flat terrain part of the "cliff" would be z-fighting with actual terrain

even if it was possible, i don't want to touch it again unless it's fixing bugs

 

[General Frank]

A very lovely model idea and excellent execution.
Works in-game and performs well.
I wish you'd add a team coloured version down the line.

 

[Teitan]

This is brilliant, how come it took 20 years for someone to come up with this idea is beyond me lol, def using it on my map

 

[raypack]

Any chance for a birth animation? I'd love to use it on Kalimdor maps

Tell me why...

he want it that way.

because i don' want to

@raypack what's stopping you from learning how to do that yourself? or just asking someone else other than me to do it? make a thread in requests

You are right... hopefully I won't get ignored when I make the thread... And I've got a long way to go with modelling. I barely made the skeleton warrior float in the air by giving it the Sorceress channel animation. Which, by the way, made the skeleton look like some wizard is levitating it and torturing it lol, but I couldn't even get a working portrait of it.

PS: I was making a reference with the "tell my why..." which @Lt_Hawkeye seemed to understand

 

[Muuso]

Very very nice

 

[Bleeq]

I realised a couple days ago while dreaming about my cool idea for a giant rock golem, that I actually got half of the ideas from this model.
I had totally forgotten this existed, then when I searched it up and saw it again it all came rushing back lol.
I mean, I may have even subconsciously stolen the bird movements for my candle priest's death animation...
