Two questions

[LordHunter]

hey

I;m just wondering is there a way to make the game black and white during a cinematic (not in color) for x seconds?

And is there a way to make a unit run backwards while faciing in the opposite direction? One way i though of doing that is moving the unit everyX seconds in a new region facing a certain direction. But would that look like the units is actually running backwards or would it just seem funky?

As far as I know there's no way to make it Black and White although walking backwards MAY be a possibility..

Make the unit play it's Walk animation, then makes a dummy unit cast a spell which knocks it back?

I'm pretty much a begginer so just to be sure, a dummy unit is an invisible unit right? And i use the dummy's spell to push back the unit I want to make walk backwards? What kind of spell knocks units back btw?

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Yeah except the Dummy also has the Locust ability..

Also, use this link

The most efficient way to make a unit walk backwards is by editing its model.

In order to make the game black and white you have to reskin every single thing into black and white.

Thx for the help. It looks really complicated though... I guess i'll leave it for later when i'm more experienced ^^

Velm, that would create a white picture above the screen, not make it black and white...

 

[Velmarshal]

Oh I got the question wrong. He wants to make it black&wihte movie?

 

[LordHunter]

Yeah but it seems that there's no easy way to make that so i'll ditch the idea atm. I could use fog but the result would not be exactly what i had in mind.

 

[Velmarshal]

Oh could you ask something that does not include redoing the whole war3?
Like that guy with doodad elevation. Only way that I can think of is using grey fog and fade fillter but transparent a bit.

lol

I didn't figure it would have been that complictaed, i though there was an option in like the grafix to change them from color to black and white, but guess i was wrong ^^

Anyway, my problem is solved, 1q is undoable, 2nd q i got how to do that, can a mod please close this thread?

Well done Velm, how long did it take you to read post number 5 by frostwhisper?

 

[Velmarshal]

I dont read posts very often if you didnt notice.

 

[frostwhisper]

Well you should. When posting anyway...

The thread has served its purpose I believe, so let's leave it as it is.
