Spirit Walkers Ethereal Form

[Dr.Dusk]

I'm trying to make a unit that constantly looks like the Spirit Walkers Ethereal form... However I'm having a hard time doing this due tot he fact that the "Ehtereal form" isn't an actual Metamorphus... so theres no sepereate unit thats already in that form constantly...

I was wondering if anyone could walk me step-through-step on how to obtain this. (Also, I know that the form itself is just a transparency) And keep in mind that I'm still somehwhat a noobzer... So explain it thuroughly >



Thank you!

You are wrong, the Ethereal form is a Metamorphosis and there is a "Spirit Walker(ethereal)" unit. However, this unit has the same model and animation settings as the normal unit.

I have found a way to do this:
1. Copy the unit you want to look etheral
2. create new ability from "Corporeal form", set one of your units as alternate and the other as normal
3. allow the player to train the normal form unit
4. at map init, disable the ability for each player (so the unit will permanentely stay in ethereal form)

Btw. the ability they use is "Corporeal form", "Ethereal form" is, i guess, an old version

Theres is an abillity called Ethereal, its a passive version turning the unit permanent ethereal.

I'd be using a trigger to make a unit look ethereal.
Its pretty easy, try out this trigger and make your own changes:

• Animation - Change unit's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 15.00% transparency

Just add the Ethereal abillity, it does it all for you!
