• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels("","")

This removes the game's default lighting, so only lights from objects (units/doodads/effects) will illuminate everything.

When done, you have to set them again. Find the paths in the mpq.

But I do know that this Custom Script makes unit quite dark too?

cool it works, how to turn it back to normal?

no idea what you mean, can you please elaborate

First to make it dark you would need to use this trigger. Just copy this exactly like this in Custom Script

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels("","")

Then when you want to return it to normal you would need to use this:

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels ("Environment\\DNC\\DNCAshenvale\\DNCAshenvaleTerrain\\DNCAshenvaleTerrain.mdx","Environment\\DNC\\DNCAshenvale\\DNCAshenvaleUnit\\DNCAshenvaleUnit.mdx")

When you make everything dark, however, you can't see anything so you would need to import a light model. (I'll link one if I can find where it is.)

You would need to place these models in the editor as doodads to provide light in certain areas. You could also create a dummy unit with the light model as its model file and move it along with the unit you want to light up.
(I'm not sure if you can just attach it to a unit like an attachment I've never tried...)

To move the model with your unit you would want to use a trigger like this:

• Torch System
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Your_Hero is alive) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint[1] = (Position of Your_Hero)
    • Unit - Move Dummy_Torch instantly to TempPoint[1]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[1])

You would have to make sure to set Dummy_Torch to the dummy light unit.

Hope this helps, I know it can be a little confusing, but it sure can make things look nice once you figure it out. My advice is to keep messing with it. You'll get the hang of it. Also be sure to make backups when you save just in case something gets screwed up.

Here is a nice tutorial too it has the light model you need Torch System

Heck, I can make you a DNC model.
But not an animated one, just one frame.
EDIT: Or I could tell you how.

There is a tutorial here:

In case you would like to make advanced DNC models.
