[Solved] How to use flamestrike model?

[sniper_zero]

Okay, this has been bugging me for quite a while now but I never really bothered with it until now when I have absolute need for it. How do I get the flamestrike model to actually appear when I use it as a sfx? I tried to use the model under abilities and the one under spawned effects neither works.

Oh and for the chance that the problem might be in my triggering this is how I do it.

Special Effect - Create a special effect at loc using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy last created special effect

there's no problem there, but maybe the events or conditions have a problem.

I don't think so. I didn't put any conditions so that shouldn't be any problem.

The trouble is that you destroy it right away, making it instantly play the death animation. All the fiery action is in the birth animation. You need to delay the destruction of the effect by the duration of the birth animation.

Thanks. Is there an easy way to do that without using waits?

Make the sfx into a unit, then add duration.

Try this, it is a simple way to delay the destruction of effects:

• Untitled Trigger 050
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • // Leaks a location
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Random point in 1 <gen>) using Abilities\Spells\Human\FlameStrike\FlameStrike1.mdl
    • Set r1 = 8.00
    • Trigger - Run Untitled Trigger 061 <gen> (ignoring conditions)

• Untitled Trigger 061
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local effect e = bj_lastCreatedEffect
    • Wait r1 seconds
    • Custom script: call DestroyEffect(e)
    • Custom script: set e = null

Oh thanks for the suggestions. I managed to do what I needed to now.
