(SOLVED) Doodad Traspency

Hello everyone!
Here i got a small question, because im not good at triggers and don't know anything of Jass/vJass, so i ask here
Is there any way i could make a destructible or a doodad transpent with triggers and/or reset it's transpency?

If you didn't understood (as i think you won't) here's an example:
A building has it's roof and door. The roof is NOT transpent. A player enters the building. The roof gets transpency of 50%. The player leaves the building, the roof resets again.
I'm quite sure it's possible (without modeling and animations), because i've seen it in a map before (a diablo map if im not wrong), so i want to make it in my map too
Hope you can help, a +rep is reward as follows
Thanks!

you can make a unit with the roof model and set the flying height so it suits then use this trigger action

• Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 50.00% transparency

or just use the

• Destructible - Hide (Last created destructible)

Thats the only way in gui i think

Make a model with an alternate animation that has 50% transparency. Then use destructable animation controls to hide it. You can do this for a specific player only by using GetLocalPlayer().

There's no other way to do it, except using units for rooftops, which, however, will lead to other problems (like them turning invisible in fog of war).

In this case, you are screwed. :/

That won't be a problem if he uses a building unit, building units are visible in fog of war, he will just need to make sure to have the player already "seen" it if you get what i mean.

Also remember to use locust ability to make it unselectable.

 

[Blood Raven]

yes, that was my idea and i already made it like that
hey, it isnt that bad!

Glad you got it solved, thx for the rep!

Still, adding an alternate animation and making it a destructable would be a much more professional and elegant solution. ^^
