How to make custom building shadow?

[HeroEditor]

It appears you can use only default shadows for buildings, and that shadow is a texture. But when you open it in some image editing program, the texture is all just black, which is not the case in WC3 viewer where the texture is just like in game.

I need to find the way to create a shadows that I need for my buildings, and help is desperately needed because I didn't find any similar topic.

What type of buildings are you using? Are they custom buildings of normal buildings? When clicking a unit in the editor, under the customized colors section you can edit how long or big the shadow is, or you can choose a type of building from a list that can match up with what building your using.

I am using custom models for buildings, from Hive. None of default shadows are matching those buildings. Like pathning for buildnings, shadows for them is a texture, and I don't have an idea how to make that shadow texture for buildings.

Hope you understand.

What building is it?

Well, I'm using a lot of MIKE's buildings and other buildings, and I plan to use a lot more so... haha!

For example, barracks from Mike, tower etc.

Barracks

For example. But I don't understand how the link might help you. There are no default building shadows that mach any new model.

All I can say is too just customize the shadow height in the editor, other than that I'm not sure really.

 

[HeroEditor]

Well, in object editor, you can't customize building shadows in any way but to change shadow texture. And customizing the texture is what I need.

But thanks for trying to help anyway!

This is what I was trying to say.

I understand, but if the unit is building, that parameters don't apply to it.
