Dancing Sword

-=>

<=-

Dancing Swords were originally a unit in Warlords Battlecry 3, but I need one for my mod/map. It will include these as a summonable unit. You may be able to tell quite easily that it would be simple to make, all it needs is some animating and particle work. I don't mind if you edit a sword model or attachement, as long as I am able to give credit to both of the people involved. It also needs to dissipate on death, bob around smoothly while walking, and create an orange effect when it strikes (similar to the one the blademaster makes when he performs his ultimate ability), and to move up in the air and explode similar to death for spell animation. I would also like it to have a golden handle, and TC on the handle if possible. Thank you.

Maybe even base it off of this:

Ok first WIP, no particles but usable since its animated. If you want to use a difrent sword, open vertex modify, delete the 2 geosets. Then open geoset merger and merge the sword to the bone "S". Make sure that the sword is in the right angle, just like my sword! Please note that this mesh and the animations are made from SCRATCH!!

any bugs can be reported to me

Oh i remember the dancing sword, pretty sweet idea.
The model you made (and animations) looks pretty good, though looks a bit slow.
Might be different in game tho.

especially the attack anim looks slow ... but ingame it looks rather nice
and still its hard to animate in "oinkerwinkle notetrack". you shouldn't be to picky ... it doesnt forfill all your needs at the moment but. I made him have glow when it strikes! the disapate, i didnt do also the weird death anim i didnt. The sword doesnt have teamcollor thats prolly yet to come.

Nah i think it looks actually pretty ok, the model itself is simple and good too.
For using oinkerwinkle notetrack is probably a good job too.

Any way to speed up the animations with the world editor btw?

i guess you can with the trigger editor.

I would really like some particles, but I'll go in and make those with SFX. Thank you, +rep.

Make like lightblue/teal small orbs falling down and fading from where you hold the sword then. Then it could be used as an item and a unit.
