Color of attachmenting units

[pOke]

Hi I am trying to add an effect to a hero in my map. It is based off an item ability with the info

Art- Target Wisp
Art- Target Attachment Point 1 overhead

The problem is the Wisp is always Red, I either would like it to be black, or the color of the controlling player, and I cannot seem to figure out how.

Thanks!

Try resetting the player color of the unit.

Thanks for the advise! I used this---
+rep!

• Player - Change color of (Triggering player) to (Color of (Triggering player)), Changing color of existing units

 

[WaterKnight]

There is a unit-specific variant Unit - Change Color.

• Unit - Change color of (Triggering unit) to (Color of (Triggering player))

Thanks again

Another question--
When this hero uses a spell the attachment is removed and then replaced a few seconds later, initially it gets the "tint" the hero has but after it never regains it I tried this but it doesn't work

• Color Fixer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Chief
  • Actions
    • Set ColorReset = (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Change color of (Triggering unit) to (Color of (Triggering player))
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Animation - Change ColorReset vertex coloring to (35.00%, 10.00%, 40.00%) with 0.00% transparency

The condition will return false as there is no triggering unit, the event is time related not unit. The actions will not run.

This doesn't seem to change the color of the attachments.

I think this will only change picked unit's colors, not attachments, since both are different models. (i.e. you change color of unit model, but not color of effect model)

 

[pOke]

I'm not sure if its actually "map initialization" but when the map starts the hero's attachment is tinted the proper color. So there must be way no?

 

[Maker]

Try recreating the effect after you've changed the unit's colour.

It might also be that the effect uses player colour, not unit's colour.

If you're trying to recolor attatchments base it off of an ability that supports it.
The best one to use is probably the Life Regeneration Aura (Neutral) ability.
Just remember to remove the stats and remove all targets allowed.

If you need it to be attatched while another ability is activated, use a trigger to give the unit this ability.
You can then remove it once the effect of the ability is over with.
