[General] Replicate coloration when hero dies?

[loktar]

I.e. this:

I know you can change the opacity, but can you recreate that exact effect? Specifically the glow/color?

You would have to test it. Try it at 90% transparency, if not, then try 80%.

Couldn't you just change the team color of the hero via triggers.

Just setting the transparency doesn't give the "glowing" effect.
The team colour stays when heroes die. The effect is also team coloured.
Maybe if I change the vertex colour for player 1 for G & B so R is more pronounced, for example. Could experiment with that a bit. Although I don't think that will do it either.

Closest I got to creating fake dissipates are either with using Banish, but with the side-effect of units turning slightly green, or by setting unit's transparency to 70% and then attaching hero glow SFX in various shapes I've found somewhere, which makes the hero glow, but doesn't produce the "whiteness".

Hmm, I don't see an easy way to add the banish buff? Without having some unit cast it anyway.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

That's exactly the way.

I see. Hm I think I'll not do that then. Want to keep it as simple as possible Just fading is alright too. Thanks though!

You could add an extra 'glow' with an extra 'hero glow' model. You could make it whatever color you like. i.e., team-color or white. The you need to add/remove crow form and increase the flying height on a loop and play the dissipate sound and you have a total hero dissipate system.

Been there, done that http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/revivable-units-v1-1-1-a-275071/

I just mean the coloration when the model goes transparent. It doesn't just become transparent, it has a certain "glow" to it (don't mean hero glow).

I'm not really explaining this well am I Only Apheraz Lucent has understood me so far

I think I get it now. What if you go like 20% tansparent but then create several layers of it. Like make overlapping dummy units to match the original. This should make it brighter like you want. You would have to set the facing angle to match and the animation to match, but you should be able to get a brighter transparent image of the unit.
