The Glow Effect Doesnt work

[Deadparrot]

I followed the instructions and added aura into my Import Manager, then i changed the art-model field to the custom aura, but the model changed to only the aura, the original model doesnt exist anymore. I also dont get the part on how to add the model on a unit without a dummy ability.

If you can , can u help me?

There are two ways to give a unit model a Hero Glow effect - with dummy abilities and with triggers.

To do it with a dummy ability, you could create a new ability off of an ability like Sphere. Change the Art - Missile Arc to 0, Art - Missile Art to none, Art - Missile Speed to 0, Art - Target to Aura.mdx (Or whatever path for your Aura model) Art - Target Attachment Point 1 to origin, the other Art - Target Attachment Point 2&3 to none, and Art - Target Attachments to 1. Then give that ability to your Hero under Abilities - Normal.
If the glow model doesn't have the same color as the unit, then you could use this action at Map Initialization...

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Level of Custom Glow for (Matching unit)) Greater than 0)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Change color of (Picked unit) to (Color of (Owner of (Picked unit)))

*If you base it off another ability, make sure it's a unit ability.

Another way is that you could manually give the unit the glow model with triggers at map initialization like

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to YourHero)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Aura.mdx
    • Unit - Change color of (Picked unit) to (Color of (Owner of (Picked unit)))

but then you would need to repeat that trigger every time for each unit-type.

can you be a little more clear please, such as listing the event, condition and then the action.

Basically, you would want to use these actions at Map Initialization without conditions which would like like this

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • -------- And then put your actions here for whatever method you choose. --------
