[Idea request] Sylvan/Wood Elven Food Building

[Kabel]

Hi!

I am nearly finished with my map. It's a simple custom race map but with some other things added that seperates it from an ordinary melee map.

The problem is that I have no idea what to use as the food-building for my Nature/Sylvan/Wood Elven race.




Anyone here has an idea of models to use?
Anyone already has a model on their computer that might fit into the wood elf race?

what is a wood elf?
try u to say Blood elf? or maybe high elf?
can you attach some screenshot?
there way we can help you.
good luck with the map.

Wood Elves aren't in WC3, but they are like Night Elves but with flesh skin tones.

I would say don't use food as such, have an "awakening" mechanism. Certain units (druids and spirits) provide awakening power (food), which lets you awaken more units.

That sounds like an interesting thought. Any idea how to make that ingame?

Ps. I upload a picture here of some of the units and buildings of the race.
Note: The Chimera Roost with a tree upon it is just an idea of how a food building could look like. That model does not exist.

Can't you allow units to supply food ?

the peterrab's idea is good. i will try to do a concept art for you, but i'm not a modeller.

wait!
can't you just attach a tree to the chim. roost in the object editor? To one of the attachment points. I don't know the building ones.

i could swear that I upload it...
but i didnt...

well, here go:

its can be used like a farm, or if do it greater like a one big building...
good luck.

Great idea! Damn, I wish I could make models cause I would so make that model!

Perhaps can this model be based on the Chimera Roost.
Anyone here has the time/energy to make it?

 

[Kabel]

No one?

 

[Xezko]

sorry man, but i'm not a modeller. however, i think is possible to do it with triggers. i will try it and then i come back. see ya...


EDIT: sorry again. i tried to did it, but my triggers are really bugged. contact an experienced triggerer to do it. Good Luck.

Thanks anyway Xezko, is there anyone else who has the time to make this model or a model similar to this?
