How do i add demonic footprints to a unit?

[Iron Elf]

ok i want to add demonic footprints to a unit without all the model editing is there a way to do that by going into Object Editor? or if there is another easy way to do it let me know

Maybe try someone like when the unit moves, create special effect behind it, and remove after 5 seconds. You'd need variables, etc.

Or i think illidan has them, so you could use illidan as a base for your models.

Ok then ill try that and then ill get back to you it will take while for me to set it up though or couldnt i paste the special stuff where the Art- Special is?

 

[ToP-Fouraces]

I would try some heroes, like illidan first, to see if that is a simple solution.

The least I can do, check the test map

^That is one way to do it. However I suggest you improve it by recycling the dummies, adding IsUnitMoving and not destroying the group. Add/remove units from the group.

Is my test map leaks ?
Or inefficient ?

 

[Maker]

It doesn't leak, but over time it creates tons of unit groups and units.

It's better to recycle the units and use a global group.

 

[defskull]

Can you show me the example trigger to make it so ?
I mean, the global group and the "recycle" method
I didn't quite get it

 

[Iron Elf]

way out of my league

ok thats way out of my league the recycling thing that you were just talking about maybe i didn't explain it well enough. i just need the death knight hero im making to have demonic footprints.

 

[Iron Elf]

Nevermind i'll just use the regular built in footprints and hope my phantom hero works out

 

[defskull]

Have you even checked my test map ?

 

[Iron Elf]

oops

just saw that and im checking it out

 

[defskull]

Uhhh, Object Save... ?
Noooo!
