Flashlight

[fourmis23]

How to create a flashlight effect, like a light in front of the caster that appear when the unit click a spell or item and disappear when he click it again?

That depends... sometimes you need the proper light model... but the main point is you create a trigger that shows the light upon item use and use a boolean to know if the item is active or not.

Cone shaped transparent field for the light effect and then hope that a WC3 light emitter works (as they are bug prone).

What's a WC3 light emitter?

Ok, so I did like the tutorial said, when I try the map I can see the light cone in front of the unit but when he moves the light doesn't follow, it just stay where it is, why?

 

[MasterTrainer]

I haven't downloaded the map yet but I think you should attach the light model to the unit via sfx or other methods via periodic trigger.

Oops, my error, trigger's event was time elapsed rather than periodic event, of course it would not follow xD, so it is working perfectly thanks ^^

The problem is with the Event, you used Elapsed game time instead of Every X seconds of game time.
