Hi,

I am designing a hero, I have his test map already done, but I need to give him a hero glow effect. He is a unit model, but looks very much like a hero. The glow will make him look much better.

If there is a way of doing it simply thru editor, please let me know.

If there is a way to customly edit it, could someone please help me with this?

Thanks!

Alright, the easiest way I can see this getting done is by using this model. If you scroll down a bit, Pyritie tells you what you need to do, but I'll outline also.
  • Make a custom ability based off of Life Regeneration Aura. Name it something like Hero Glow or whatever.
  • Clear the fields. Get rid of anything that would make it actually do anything (targets, amount healed, etc.)
  • Make the Art - Target model the Hero Glow I linked above. Make the Target Attachment point origin.

And you should be good to go, I've got it working on my end, so if you seem to be having issues, I can help you more.

yeah i tried this already, Im not sure if this was the same file, but there was another one like it. It changed my model into the glow and removed my actual model.

What I did for the meantime was to just place my hero over the glow and take a picture, but if you could screenshot an image of what the object editor fields should be, it would really help me out.

Thanks,

Pyro
