Tileset-dependent Water Elemental

[cleavinghammer]

is there a way to set the Water Elemental to automatically use the same color (well, game texture) as the water of the map's tileset (similar to the normal/polar/underground Beastmaster summons, but for each tileset), or does it require creating one model per tileset and assigning textures by hand?

different textures on beastmaster summons

As for the Water Elemental, I don't think there is an easy way to make it vary depending on the water's color without creating multiples versions of the model. Besides, the water elemental model uses animated textures and has particles emitters which can only be edited by hand.

Oh, so someone finally figured out where they were hiding.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Ah well.

With Reforged, you'll probably be able to switch skins ingame via triggers.
