Invisible Impale model

[Darkfang]

Can someone do an invisible impale model? so to make a simple way to lift an unit in the air without so many triggers on the way. If the model is light on kb better. TY, I think it can be useful to many.

Simple edit in magos - I just set the material alpha to 0.

Tanks so much, you should upload it to the model section, and add the description about it´s use, so that the nat-zi moderators can accept it.

BTW: could you take out the particles of the model and the sound?, and make it with 3 diferent heights. Hmmm You know, a reverse impale could also be good (something to push the enemies under the ground), it could also serve to help some spells.

Attached removes the blood splat etc. The rest of the effects you can remove on the spell itself.

As for the different heights, that's something you could play around with yourself:
1. Get magos war 3 model editor
2. Open the model
3. Window -> Node Manager
4. Right click "Bone dummy move" and select edit node
5. Click Translation
6. Play with the numbers

Lol, I need this exact thing a little while ago for a "Hand Cannon" ability I was toying with; single-target explosion-in-face that would launch the enemy up. Thought I was sooooo clever. : )

The "sucking underground" thing sounds cool, but I wonder if A) it would work and B) if the user could even really see it/tell.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Now that I think about it, this might actually be a way of bring a unit underground, as you cannot do that with flying height.

EDIT: It works quite well.

Dang, it works? How does it look in-game? Because that could be hecka-sick; sort of a "tunneling surprise", dragging units underground temporarily.

I'm psure that is the technique that Tides of Blood used for the ground smash ability and some of the flip things. It looks great. Impale is an awesome ability if used creatively.

That's the thing, it's not "Impale" the ability, per se. It's the SFX behind it, the "model" that is actually just an attachment point in motion.

Actually, I've thought about doing this for other "abilities" like this; take Cyclone for instance (Druid of the Claw spell); it grabs a unit & spins them in the air. Simply move the vertices of the attachment point down to the ground & you have a whirlpool! At least, I think it should work.

Actually it is impale xD, well Ive tried with triggers but doesnt work. If someone can make a reverse impale it would be awesome, specially for making an ability like noob saibot to go underground and appear from the ground going up *w*... I wanted to do that with the Avatar of Vengeance on my duel of gods so to make a different kind of blink ability while on vengeance but.. well.. I cant :C
