Making a Blast Similar to DBZ trib

[styxpeople]

In DBZ tribute and some other games there are "energy blasts" that use the hero level up, tome of retraining, and other normally vertical arts, but turned sideways so that they shoot at the target rather than shooting up. How did the creators of those games make the blasts face sideways. I imagine they are using the shockwave ability with a different art. But how do they make it sideways? Thanks for the help, in advance.

they probably use an imported model. just getting the model and turning it sideways. Also Welcome to THW! dont forget to introduce yourself

Wow, you joined Sep 06 and only 1 post lol... Introduce yourself . Anyways, im not sure either, id like to know .

 

[styxpeople]

I did introduce myself when i first joined...I think. It has been a while. I've joined a few times but i keep forgetting my passwords and which email i used. [I have a lot of email addresses]. Anyway, i was really hoping they didnt export them and flip them :'(. For some reason i thought there was a way to change it with a negative number somewhere.

you couldnt have introduced yourself if you didnt have any posts

You can invert a unit by shift double clicking some place in the Object Editor under Art and adding numbers in.

If he did on search and the posts got lost in the transfer somehow, then yes he could have.

As for the question, just change the Max Pitch and Max Roll of the unit. (I think it's under Art)

Wouldn't changing the pitch and roll of a unit not have the effects of a skill, you would just shoot that unit? Or does it have a birth effect so it would shoot like in the DBZ trib? Not sure, never tried.

You'd have to make a dummy, unselectable unit with that model with ttriggers. Is that what you were asking?
