Very good work. May I suggest as next model a metal sparks special effect for weapon parries? Maybe one without specific direction and one for a targeted direction.

 

[The_Spellweaver]

MMmm

 

[Maximum_Evil]

[Sieben]

Useful and original! I like this one very much.

(are these peasant emoticons new??)

Yeah they're new maybe, i saw those this month.
I tried them out and got excited about using them.

edit:
you should ask Scias about them. He created them you know.

[SgtWinter]

Oh god, looks great! Just realized that we've been lacking in the cone SFX model department! Any chance we can have some sort of slash effect of a similar nature in the future?

 

[SejiFu]

this might look amazing on an cleaving attack!

 

[Devalut]

Elon musk of warcraft does it again

 

[The Grey]

Very good I love it 5/5

 

[Ixxl]

No idea how to use this, but looks amazing! 5/5

 

[Rhapsodie]

Slice and dice

 

[Hazop]

How do I use this right?

 

[ISL]

This one has huge potential!

 

[Palette]

Loving it! Can I use (maybe all) your special effects for my map?? Haha

 

[Vinz]

Thanks everyone!

I suggest you use it with a damage detection system. Create the effect at the location of the receiver.
I don't know how to set facing for SFX, so I used a dummy unit for the preview.

 

[Devalut]

I don't know how to set facing for SFX, so I used a dummy unit for the preview.

in my resource Bone Armor I use spirit touch type model that's directed towards the attacker using this line:

• Special Effect - Set Orientation of BAmr_SPEF to yaw: 0.00, pitch: 0.00, roll: ((((Angle from BAmr_Point[1] to BAmr_Point[2]) x 3.14) / 180.00)

WARNING IF YOU ARE USING CURRENT PATCH:
SPECIAL EFFECTS MODIFICATION HAS EFFECTIVELY BEEN FLIPPED ON ITS HEAD!
ROLL NO LONGER CHANGES THE FACING OF SPECIAL EFFECTS USE YAW INSTEAD!

BAmr_Point[1] being the target being hit & BAmr_Point[2] being the striking unit
Resulting in something like this:

(No seagulls were harmed in the making of this gif)

So if you reverse this you can have the result you want on your crawb declaw

 

[Vinz]

Cool! Thanks for the info.

Guys, the blood/wave goes forward, so you'll have to set it to the angle from the damager to the receiver.

 

[Shakral]

 

[BloodGem64]

Could be very useful for a heavy cleaving attack or for a sneaky ambush unit, i love it.

 

[KeK.]

Very cool, thanks for this resource.

 

[Vinz]

Fixed unintentional snap-back. Apologies.

E: With regards to triggered SFX orientation, you can use the Degrees-to-Radians function in the Real dropdown list.

 

[Trill]

Could you also make the green slash (and other colors when they come) with red blood?

I will. In hindsight, it was a bad idea to make the blood green. It limits the usability.

 

[Trill]

Its still useful for poisoned attacks or maps where majority of enemies have green blood.

6/3/19
Added blue and purple versions
Renamed Green-Cleave-and-Blood to Green (x2)
Added green version

 

[Shakral]

Very good SFX

assessment: 10/10

 

[Challengor]

Excellent, lacking just a drop of blood on the ground

 

[Jaina Proudless]

A graceful chicken coop?

 

[xgeneralthorx]

You are a amazing artist, thanks for grace us with your work!

 

[7oda]

Cool one It reminds me of Phantom Assassin's ultimate from Dota 2

 

[jayjayduque]

what attachment name do i need to put? is it chest? also how can i make it appear when i crit? been long time since i get the hold of the editor.

 

[Cespie]

Amazing, I've been wanting something like this for a while!

 

[General Frank]

Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section.

 

[Spacebuns]

Is it possible to make this team color? Or nah?

 

[Daffa]

Thank you for the wonderful work!

 

[DMN Carry]

I love the blood

 

[yram44]

A noob question here: how to put it to an ability? when attacking a unit just like in the GIF?

A noob question here: how to put it to an ability? when attacking a unit just like in the GIF?

The best way:
You use a Damage Engine to detect when damage is dealt and then create the special effect. The Damage Engine also allows you to trigger your own Critical Strike for example, which could then be setup to display the special effect as well.

The easy way:
Do the same thing but with the "A unit is attacked" Event. This Event will run even if the attack is cancelled/interrupted and will run before damage is dealt so it's not ideal.

For the actual special effect positioning, I'm not 100% sure. You can probably attach it to the chest of the attacked/damaged unit and then destroy it. If not, you may need to create the special effect at a Point using Point with polar offset. This allows you to place the special effect any distance in front of the Hero.

 

[LifeguardLeroy]

Would work great as a warriors execute.

 

[GIMLI_2]

Awesome effect! Can i have a version without the blood?
