[Import] Custom Lightning Effect

[jonhysone]

Hi Dudes :3
I've been working on a spell , and tried to make a custom lightning effect based on a custom model . But I can't seem to do this -_- . I don't want to go in the way of dummies , because it'll need 100 dummy or more :S AND MATHS!
Well , Is there anyway i can use custom lightning model ? For example changing path !

No thanks .

I want this as a lightning effect without 'Lightning' . So it can be shrunk and longed

Would that tutorial help?

Reckon that the tutorial directs towards creating a custom texture-based lightning rather than a model-based one.

I have never attempted to create such a model lightning before so I don't really know whether it will work or not

Ok No problem waiting for others ;D

just create a skin using a pic of that model, and use it as a skin for your custom lightning

I don't think it's possible to use different models as lightning effects. The best looking way would be to make it with dummy units. An easier but not as good looking way would be to use a chain skin on a lightning effect (there are some at the skins section). This may look strange though, because lightning effects are scaled (a chain of a length 1000 has as many links as a chain of a length 5000).
