Special effect question

[FriXionX]

I just recently got back into wc3, and i wanna know if i can make the screen go black, and then put special effects over the top (while the screen is still black). Can i do this? or wont the special effects show?

Create a region on your map where you want the special effects to appear over black

Have an "environment- change terrain trigger" that effects that region

The terrain you want is found under "outland-abyss"

Position your camera at teh center of the abyss, and add your special effects inside of it wherever you want.

Doesnt sound like what i want, but ill try soon.

This is the only way to achieve this. Cinematic filter will not be the solution, since it covers the screen with a black filter, so you can see nothing, neither units, nor effects.

As long as there are no doodads or units in that region, that area will appear completely black, as if the screen is faded out.

For a dynamic effect, do a fade out, then put the camera there, do cinematic mode, then fade in. The person playing won't know the difference between the Abyss screen and the fadeout.
