Hey guys, just wondering if it was possible to get different image/model or whatever it is for the targeting image of a custom 'Channel' based ability?

At the moment it is a pink AOE circle with a hammer which I think is the one that comes with the 'Channel' ability. I recall other spells with AOE e.g. 'Blizzard' had a green one instead. Is it possible to get that one instead or even being able to import it?

I've tried looking into the actual spell to see if there was a editable box for it but have found nothing. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough?

Thanks! :)

There are actually 4 AoE indicators: one for each race. Depending on the race you select or are randomed of the unit (see below) you get a different image. If you search around you can probably find the paths for them. Importing a new .blp with that path will overwrite it and display for players of that race in-game.

The targeting image doesn't depend on the player's race, but on the unit's race instead.
ReplaceableTextures\Selection\SpellAreaOfEffect...
There are different ones for the races. Not sure which one human uses.
