Recoloring Fire

[ShenLong Kazama]

I wanna use some fire based attacks for a hero unit but i wanna have the normal fire blue but how can i do that ? I tried via world editor but it doesn't change anything.

You mean like this?

I could try doing a recolor for you (if that's what you want), but you might just be able to use the model for the blue fire doodad. Can you explain the "fire based attacks" a bit more?

He was saying the "Combat - Attack 1 - Projectile Art:"
This can be done my modelling the color of the missile fire from "Abilities\Weapons\RedDragonBreath\RedDragonMissile.mdl" (Black Dragon Whelp...etc etc)
Re-color it to blue, that makes it perfect

also you can make a dummy unit, and model it to the fire you like, then change the color from object editor...

I mean like the missile from the firelord, i wanna have some fire steams or missiles colored blue.

First - create a custom unit - like peasant. Change "Art Tinting Color 1 (RED)" "Art Tinting Color 2 (BLUE)" "Art Tinting Color 3 (GREEN)" . Do combinations with thoose 3 till you find the perfect combination. Then change "Art - Missile art" to the custom unit you've created and you are ready to go! (you can even change the size of the missile because it is a unit )

 

[defskull]

Are you sure the missile can be re-scale the size of it ?
From the dummy unit, go to Art - Scaling Value, does this field of which you speak of ?
Try it, I don't know if you're speaking by theory BUT I do need some solid evidence on re-scaling the size of the missile varied to the user's need
I tried once, and failed in doing so =D

 

[mckill2009]

Missile can be rescaled by rescaling of the host unit that is using that missile...

(you can even change the size of the missile because it is a unit )

since when can custom units be used as a missile on the OE? you cannot set custom units as projectile arts since they are not models... and I've already tried it a couple of times...

anyway, missiles are scaled together with the unit that is using it by default since an option per unit which says Scale Projectiles are set to true by default...

to recolor them, you need to edit the model itself, or use a good missile system...

you can use Magos to edit them, some missiles are easy to recolor (recolorable without editing the textures) like the frost bolt missile, but I dont know about the firelord's missile, I haven't tried it yet...

I've tried basing my Wagon to deliver a Peasant (real Peasant, with beards) at a targeted unit
It seems working for me.... ?
Why not you ?
But it's weird, the Peasant played its Death animation when hit the target @.@

 

[Adiktuz]

Uhm, you misunderstood my post...

I can use peasants, fine... but CUSTOM UNITS, not custom models or whatever,, nope... I mean the default models work and also imported ones... and ofc, all models play their death animation upon impact (if they have one...)

by custom units I mean like what CoLd Bon3 is trying to say, make a dummy unit that will be used as a missile art... it wont work since missile arts are models not units...

and the reason why you can't change the missile's size by changing the peasant size in the OE, is because you're editing a UNIT that USES the peasant MODEL and not the model itself

I hope you understood it now... ^_^

(anyway, if you know the difference between a UNIT and a MODEL then you would have understood this by now... ^_^)

I understood after reading 4~5 times your... colored texts =p

[defskull]

Colored texts, are annoying... ?
I think SOMEONE has said before, it's against the rules, meh, rumors =D

 

[Adiktuz]

depends on the colors actually, they just said don't use striking colors (sorry for using the orange one, it's a bit striking)

some people even suggest using colored texts to stress out important points... (and that's why I use it...)

but don't ever use the blue color, its so hard to read...
