Hero Glow color change (detect impale)

[Deadparrot]

I normally have no problems with the color of the hero glow models downloaded from the hive. I just use a simple trigger to change the color of the glow. but when comes to impale, its another story.

when a hero with attached hero glow gets hit by the spell impale, it gets send up in the air for about a second, then it comes down. But the color of the hero glow changes to red instead of the color of the player. This can be really frustraing, is there a way to detect impale so ican use triggers to change the color back to what it is suppose to be?

Impale is mean
Making custom impale is a long shot.

Urgh - try using a periodic vertex coloring with the specified color values when Impale is cast; like every 0.1 seconds or so.

You could use an event to check if someone uses a spell
check if spell is impale
check if a hero was hit
check if hero was one with glow model problem
then change color of glow model again.

Think that would work...

check if a hero was hit

I wonder how do you do that?

Attacked unit is a hero equal to true ?

Hit by impale.
Damn, having to clarify my quotes of other people
Ofcourse you can set the glow right after impale based spell has been used, for all heroes, but doing it without the user sees that the color has changed would be hard.

I got it,
event-every 0.01 seconds of the game
condition
action-pick every unit with the buff impale and change colour
