is it possible to remove gate way sound+ effect

[emil23]

ok so i found gate ways are very usefull in my map, i would like to remove their sound of teleport however, and animation of teleport because its way too annoying as way gate is used very often.i have found waygate ability in editor but i dont really see an option to remove it lol. second question are way gates safe? dont they cause leaks or fps drop?

Animation of teleport? What you mean by that? I only see a special effect of the teleport not an animation, is this what you're talking about?

Where did you get this from??? No, why would they.

The way gate's special effect is defined within the Move 'Amov' ability.

Though, Move ability is not available in the object editor by default. You have to extract the "Units/AbilityData.slk" file from the game CASC/MPQ, edit it (by making Move available), then paste it in your War3 folder:

Warcraft III -> Units -> AbilityData.slk (up to 1.29)
Warcraft III -> war3.mpq -> Units -> AbilityData.slk (as of 1.30)


Also, once you open the AbilityData.slk in any text editor, find Amov, and set this C;X5;K0 to C;X5;K1. In this case, C;X5 means "Use in editor".

I.e.

...

C;X1;Y408;K"Amov"
C;X2;K"Amov"
C;X3;K"Move"
C;X4;K0
C;X5;K1
C;X6;K0

...

After doing those changes, restart your editor and you'll be able to see the "Move" ability in the object editor.

You can also create a dummy model with nothing. Import it in the map. You won't see any special effect. Choose this path:
Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportTarget.mdx

How to get dummy model

 

[purparisien]

I use one in my map. Open it. Export the model named Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportTarget.mdx. then import it with the same path on your map.
