Wisp gathering a wood resource

[jonbon29]

Hello guys I look at the wisp worker of the night elf race when they gather wood resources, they stick themselves to the trees and they don't hurt them. My question is how can I make the wisp not to stick themselves to a tree when gathering wood, but still able to gather wood resources instantly (without returning to their townhall ) and the effect attachment to the tree will still be there. The wisp should stand near the tree, not stick to the tree and will do a stand lumber animation.

If I were in your case, maybe you should make a custom unit other than the wisp (let's say a peasant) and change its model file to wisp. Supposedly, it will make an animation when it's repairing a building(the one that it's glowing or something) but actually gathering lumber from trees. Well, that's my opinion.

Trust me, I'm a Prinny ^_^7

Aren't these two requirements counterparts ?

Or do you mean there will be a wisp near the tree AND an effect of a harvesting wisp to the tree ?

Yes and also the wisp will instantly gather some woods without hurting the tree and without returning to the townhall or any buildings, its still like the normal wisp gather wood. But the only thing I want to change is that the wisp wont stick themselves to the tree.

One possible solution is to export the wisp model and edit the Stand Lumber animation. Then import the new modified model and use it for your wisp. But it requires animation skill which I hope you have.

I believe it's related to the harvest ability used by Wisp.
The harvest is made in a way that it's attaching the caster into the tree.

From my memories making Battle of Emerald Gardens, it's done in this mechanic.

Yeah I guess its hard corded, changing the model doesn't do anything. I tried to use the peasant but he stick himself to the tree hahaha.... tnx for trying guys.
