I know, im using that 1, but as attachment it only shows red, and i can't change the color at all.

The colors can only be changed at the item models. :S

The model is not the problem, it's you. Try pressing ALT+A on-in-game, it's the ally color botton.

Add it with the ability "Life Regeneration" its one of the few abilities which allow team colour to apply to attatchments.

His problem is not the attaching the effect to the units, it's that as he attaches to a unit, he can't change it's color, the color of the attachment.

Which you can do with my above method and changing the units team colour.

Well.. that won't work, why would i wanna change team colors.. lol..

Because the way you change the gem's color is to change its team color. Certain parts of a model's texture changes with its team color and for the model in question, the entire model changes color with its assigned team.

Normally you can only change a model texture's team color by assigning it a team color as a unit and not as an attachment, except for a few specific abilities that automatically changes art its attachment's team color to the unit's own team color (player slot 2 is blue). This is why HydraRancher suggested you use the ability Life Regeneration Aura because it's such an ability.

You can also just create the gem effect as a unit and use a periodic trigger to move the unit around with the carrier. This will allow you to specify its team color regardless of which unit its attached.

Either way you will have to trigger the effect and we can only help you if you specify how you would want to approach this.

i know how to fix it but it needs some experiamental

you need to change the base color ) the 3 colors that stand normaly 255,255,255

in this case you have to over ride the number of 255
u do this by holding shift then dubble click on it

try expermenting with it

save it first before you **** things up

if you get to 256 some how it goes to way diffrent color
this should be able to reach your goal

well its suppoed to be like capture the flag, but then capture the gem, so if theres a trigger, that can make it so it walks with him on his chest xD

i mean overhead is good to

I would simply create a variable for which unit is currently carrying the gem and then make a periodic trigger (every 0.02 seconds) that moves the gem unit (with the locust ability) to said unit's position. Giving the gem Crow Form will allow you to set a height that follows ground units' path. Here's a visual example from a trigger I made using this method, where 3 rocks unearth from the ground and rotates around the target:

Basically all you have to do is create variables storing locations and values for how you want the effect to behave.

Thx, im first gonna finish my projectile system tho

 

[GfameVideos]

I got a better solution which is more epic for my game to.

Instead of Capture the Gem

i make it: Capture the Wealth

And Red is Gem
And blue is something completely different that is blue by default.
