Hero Corpse

[RobertMKD]

Hi
How do I make a hero drop a corpse upon death? Just like normal units do?

If you just want a corpse visually, set its Art - Death Time (seconds) in the Unit Editor to a higher number. You can go above 20.00 seconds by holding shift while clicking to change the value. This will prevent the dissipate animation from playing until that amount of time has passed.

If you want the corpse to be used with abilities like Cannibalize or Raise Dead, you'll have to replace the dead hero with a dead unit that uses the same model as the hero. If the model used is specifically made to be a hero, then chances are it won't have a decay animation. You can use the trigger action Unit - Create Corpse, but it will instantly create a corpse and will only show the stand animation of hero models.

dSounds bad, I need corpses for caniballize but I guess I'll have to trigger that spell using dummies, thank you!

Create a dummy unit which has the same model of the hero e.g if the hero is Paladin, then you create a dummy unit with model Paladin
Then, by triggers, you check when the hero dies, wait for him to play his death animation and then through the Unit - Create Corpse, you create a corpse of the dummy unit.

I'm planning to make one generic trigger (if u know what i mean - one trigger and one dummy for each hero, cause there will be lots of heroes) , or i can just create a corpse of the dying unit once it finishes with the dying animation?
what do you say?
