Increase buff scale?

[deama]

I can't seem to find any value relating the scale of a buff like immolation...
am I blind?

 

[deathismyfriend]

do u mean to increase the size of the effect ?

if u do u have to create a dummy invisible unit at the positions u want the effect and add the effect to the dummy unit.
note u have to change the scale of the unit. this is wat determines how big the effect will be.

I meant as in "omg, I have to do all this just to scale one effect!"

Unless you need x variations, just edit the model.

I'm not good with modelling.

Well, that means you will have to stick with the normal way of doing it, increase the dummy's scaling size who will have the buff. As the unit's scaling size grows large so the buff's size too.

And I know death already said this, I am just once again explaining it.

Abiding via Hell_Master's condition that you don't need X variations (meaning you only need one variation of this buff)

Export the buff model
Open Magos wc3 model editor
Open your buff model
Go to model editor
Click Selection -> select all
Click Transformations -> scaling
Edit to your liking
Saved the model
Import to your map

Well that sounds easy, I'll try that instead then.

I'm not sure I'm following the flow of discussion but why not make a dummy unit wherein the model file is immolation then just attach that unit via triggers?

Because then you'd have to do more triggers in order to generate the unit, delete him, make him follow the unit he's attached to, ect...
it's best to make it as efficient as possible when it comes to triggers, or programing in general; this may not seem like much stress to the CPU, but things can add up...

^ In that case you should just do the re-scaling in the Model Editor...

 

[Binsu]

Or either the increasing of scaling size of the caster but if you prefer editing more, feel free to decide.

 

[Adiktuz]

Just to be clear, buffs scale with the target right? Though in case of immolation, caster = target...

Well... I could do that, but his scale is important to the gameplay

Yep

Yep

Oh, I see....
