Dazed Effect

[Daffa]

Reminds me of Persona 5 'Dizzy' somewhat. Also, Persona 3 shock debuff.

 

[A]mun]

Way cool and very simple/small.

 

[Naze]

Cool! The units surely look... dazed and confused. I was looking for something similar not so long ago.

 

[Tickles]

Simple, stylish and a great replica. Have you thought about adding 3 and 5 star versions for more variety?

 

[stan0033]

Sounds like a good idea. Do you need these versions?

 

[Tickles]

I would certainly have a use for them to show varying degrees of debuff duration.

 

[stan0033]

Ok, I added the versions in the bundle

 

[Svetli]

5/5 - you deserve it!

Please fix the geoset animation of the model.
Birth and Death animation do not look very good. They should smooth fade in and fade out and disappear COMPLETELY at the end of the Death animation.
Also, this model is very bland - You might want to consider making the star sparkle, add particle effects or something else. Be creative.

 

[stan0033]

@General Frank I fixed the animations to be smoother, and changed the filter to add alpha. Hope this makes it visible enough. AS for sparkles - this is a good idea, but in World of Warcraft I don't think the stars sparkle.

So? If you can make it better than in WOW why not do it?

This effect is just a few stars rotating around an axis, which is honestly not enough.
There are no particle effects, ribbon effects or Anything to make the model look special.

I can see a faint potential in this model and I want to give you a fair chance to improve it, but in its current state it is just way too simple and boring.

Make the model more unique and add particle effects.

i really like the effect! its decent but visible enough ingame if u dont want to use the wc3 standard stun buff. (for me the standard one is just too big for my needs, so i was totally looking for smth like your effect)

thank you for uploading

This a lot better now?

You might want to make the stars on the halo be billboarded on a bone. The edges (which are even visible in your screenshot) are bad.
You are also missing geoset animations for some geosets. You need those.
Please fix these issues.

Billboarded lock is to rotate towards the camera right? What if someoenwants to see it from ground level not above?

geoset animations are only to add color or control visibility right? They are visible at all times.

I'll see about the textures.

Yes, bill-boarded is always faced to the camera. How you made the effect with those rotated planes it is visible from any point anyway. Bll-boarding it is for efficiency.
No, geoset animations are not just for colouring. They also control in what animations which geoset is shown. Having a geoset animation for every geoset makes the model safe and way less prone to bugs if done correctly. I guess you need to study up on that.

Could you please bring back the color variations? Feel free to post them as a message here or PM me, thank you

 

[stan0033]

Updated.
1. Stars' bones billboarded
2. Geoset animations for every geoset, with visibility modifiers.

 

[General Frank]

Billboard effect is still faulty. With bill-boarded planes you only need one plane, not a rotated stack of them. Please fix this.

 

[General Frank]

Simple, but probably useful effect. It is just an alternative to the normal stun/dazed effect.
Some few other colour variation would be nice.

will add in a bit

 

[BaiyuGalan]

The perfect substitute for stun.I will use it on my map.

this is dizziness not stun. stun is disable unit and dizziness is slow unit

 

[stan0033]

Recommendation?
How about making another version using Abilities\Spells\Orc\StasisTrap\StasisTotemTarget.mdl, but with little birds flying around instead of stars?
Merely a thought.

you mean the latest model uploaded on the models section?
