Getting rid of spikes (from engineering upgrade)

[WereElf]

Anyone knows any efficient way to get rid of the spikes, applied by engineering upgrade?
I tried to change the buff applied to something else - didn't work.
I also tried to remove the attatchments, added by the buff, but that didn't work either....

You have to change the original engineering upgrade like with carrion swarm

Can you explain with details please
I don't know what must be done with carrion swarm either (or what does it have to do with anything related).
A step by step explanation will be welcome.

The art fields from the original ability(ies) (not your actual custom ability) affect your custom ability.

To remove or replace the spiked carapace from any custom engineering upgrade you have to do this change on the original ability (Either use another buff or change the fields of the engineering upgrade buff). And it works the same for carrion swarm ability.

Well, when I changed the fields of the original buff - it worked.
Then I coppied the edited version of Engineering Upgrade (Buff), and reset(ed) the normal one to default. Made my custom ability use the custom buff, but that didn't work..

What's wrong with it?

The buff used by the original engineering upgrade will be used on all custom engineering upgrades.

Same thing with carrion swarm (which is a bit more well known, which is why I also mentioned that, in case you knew about it and let you figure out what's up with it.).

So as far as I know, if you want to have different art models for different versions of custom engineering, it won't work.
