Custom tree models import help pls

[Captain Gangplank]

Hello and thanks for opening this topic, ok lets go to the problem. I imported new custom model of tree in wc3 editor i reopen it and i can see it. i make custom tree and i add that new model on it and i add variations to 1 and i can see it on wc3 editor when i place it, but when i play a map, I can only see tree's shadows, help?

there's a field that says 'use light model', just untick that.
You can also tell if that's ticked if, while placing the destructible, you cannot see it until you place it, ie. the transparent version that indicates where it goes doesn't appear

if you use the destructible trees, you don't have to change the model file. What you will do is change the path of the imported model to something like: Doodads\Ashenvale\Plants\AshenCanopyTree\AshencanopyTree0.mdx, instead of the war3imported\(importedmodel).mdx and change the model file - variations to 1

technically you can do that with everything and anything but it is a lot easier to simply untick the light model option. i THINK it's something with how destructible models are technically just white placeholders and the textures are added through replaceable texture fields. I think.
that will fix all

Thanks very much, both of you! +rep

I imagine it could be because you have low graphics settings and have not set the model to have a low setting, though I don't know if it will just automatically show you the high poly one.
Also just so you know there are already tree models in the SC2 editor. I myself modified a duplicate supply depot to be trees and the shadows and everything work.

Just realized this is a wc3 post lol sorry.
