Illidan morphed -> metamorphosis, the model?

[Ralle]

When I was making WH40kTD Bloodletter wanted me to make a tower that had the model as Illidan when morphed, the so-called metamorphosis. But I have never figured out how to make a unit have that model. Also the morphed goblin tinker model.. how?

Possibly you could check the ability and see if the model was there.

 

[Ralle]

it's the same

 

[Healingpoison]

Yes, that is like the model of castle/keep/town hall. Hmm.. I have no idea. sry

I ran into problems with this too, and only got it to work some of the time. . .I noticed that the morph models (i.e. tinker model) don't show up in the editor but when you play the game it shows up as it's supposed to. . .only sometimes though. . .

 

[Healingpoison]

I bet you there is a path for it. I'll play around looking for this path.

Up at the top there is a model number, change that and you should get it.

 

[Healingpoison]

Up Top Where?

 

[Malufa]

Up near the model. I can look at it again later on if needed, but I know I have seen it.

 

[Healingpoison]

Hmm... looking around

Near the Color tinting, There is this
Art - Required Animation Names.
Art - Required Animation Names - Attachments.
Art - Required Attachment Link names.
Art - Required Bone Names.
See those?
Now click under animation names(the first one), and enter a single string : Alternate. Now try the 'alternate' model. I'm not sure if it works with the Tinker, but it sure works with the Demon hunter Metamorphosis.

hmm, yes try that way.. i used it once to make a tower in my demo map for a TD useing the troll beserker model.. however i remember something which was about the illidan Metamorphosis didn't really work.. but that was a long time ago, havn't tried reasonly..

 

[Ralle]

awesome guys thanks! I will go try it myself

Look, I'll post a snippet from my upcoming definitive guide to the Object Editor that should explain it:

(String Value, List) Art - Required Animation Names: Sets which alternative animation set to use for the unit, i.e. the Guard/Cannon/Arcane Towers all use one model with different stand animations, upgrade first, upgrade second and upgrade third respectively.

Now goto the Illidan metamorphosed unit and check his Required Animation Names, simple.

P.S. I do what I've done there for every field in the object editor, although some I don't know (not many).

 

[Ralle]

ow that's what you are writing? I am SO excited to see it. since its so many 1000's of letters it must be very, very good

my upcoming definitive guide to the Object Editor

lol wtfbbqhax, says message is TOO SHORT!

 

[Ralle]

we need to do something big about it. like add it to the news or something

 

[Shados]

Lol what?! it's not even half done yet! I mean, maybe I'll put a thing in my sig saying "The Definitive Object Editor Tutorial - Coming Spring 2006!" or something, 'cause I'm a slow worker.

 

[Ralle]

well still excited

 

[Bob27]

well Object datas so boring anyway, so I don't think even with a huge tutorial like the one your writing will help me

 

[Ralle]

lol.. I used my resourcebot
