how to fill in right....

[yehmaster]

hello I'm new to using custom models so I was wondering if some of you can teach me how to put right numbers in the ART field.

 

[Da Fist]

Hmph. If this is a model then import it (F12) and other necessary texture/images to their corresponding paths.

Art - Model of Unit
Peasant (example)
then change it to
Custom Model (custom imports)

 

[yehmaster]

no how to put in the right walk time,run time and etc. the will go perfect with the custom model...

 

[Da Fist]

Kindly explain more.

Import your unit then put it to your map. Save, Close , Open it again.
You will see the model imported in the map, click it, then you will see the animations. Stretch your left side ( the animation and minimap side ) to see the seconds. Then fill that to your Art - Fields.

Peace! -Da Fist-

how about the other fields, like turn rate, collision size and etc?

 

[WhiteDeath]

Turn rate is not related to the model you decide what fits.
Collision size - place the model near a in game model that is simmilar to size and give the imported model a relative value.

If the imported model uses animations that a in game model already has set the imported model's attack and spell impact moment to those of the in game model.
If that is not the case open the model with mdlvis, go to its attack/spell animations and look at the frame where you think the unit should deal the damage/spell I call that imapct moment.
If the impact moment for the attack is lets say at frame 3677 and the attack animation starts at frame 3000 than set the unit's attack damage point in the world editor at about 0.677.

and what if we, lets say, want to use non-hero paladin. Are we supposed to copy the field values one by one? or is there a better way?

 

[WhiteDeath]

Well there are about 5 values that matter I dont think it is that much work to coppy them one by one.
