Scaling Special Effects

[Shdow89]

Is it possible to scale a special effect without using dummy units?
For example if I want to use a larger explosion (Neutral Building Destroy) do I have to make a dummy unit with model with that path and scale it? Or can It be enlarged just by using actions?

I dont know if it was true - but I asked same question and everyone (who answer) says no... - I have to use dummys

I dont think so, I think you can only change the animation speed of it, not the size if I'm not misstaken

maybe this can help.
attach this trigger to your trigger.
just an idea of mine. i tried it and it works with dummy.

• bigger explo
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) Equal to (Last created unit)
  • Actions
    • Animation - Change (Dying unit)'s size to (200.00%, 200.00%, 200.00%) of its original size

just change the percentage to make it more bigger.

This is still using a dummy unit. I was wandering is it possible to scale the effects without using dummy units, or units at all.

• bigger explo
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) Equal to (Last created unit)
  • Actions
    • Animation - Change (Dying unit)'s size to (200.00%, 200.00%, 200.00%) of its original size

This is scaling a unit, it doesn't have to be on death, it can be on birth as well. Heh, thx for helping anyway
