Ubersplat

[Element of Water]

What is it? What can it be used for? I've always wondered what they were, but never bothered asking, but now I want to know. Thanks!

I've heard they are used for terrain deformation, like an earthquake ability or something. I've never used them though.

FOr a terrain deformation isn't it like:

• Environment - Create a 4.00 second Normal ripple deformation at (Center of (Playable map area)) with starting radius 1024.00, ending radius 1024.00, and depth 64.00, using 1.00 second ripples spaced 512.00 apart

Try it and see . . . ?

But anyway, they are like the effect you get from casting shockwave, and similar things.

 

[Element of Water]

So they're basically the same as terrain deformations?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

No, they're images that appear on the ground. They sort of get "painted" onto it.

Whenever you cast Flame Strike, a crater image appears on the ground. That's the ubersplat.

Oh, ok. So if you use an ubersplat with a goldmine, it paints a goldmine on the floor? That seems kind of pointless... why not just use a goldmine unit with locust?

 

[Kwah]

Ah. Evidently, I'm full of shit.

Nuu. It paints the effect that you see beneath the gold mine.

Also, JUST TRY IT. Rather than wasting our and your time posting.

Almost every standard building has ''Ubersplat''. You can change it. Just modify ''Ground Texture'' field.

Ah, ok. I don't think I'll use ubersplats anytime soon though. I can't think of a use for them in my map.
