Demo Map Abstract Player Colours

[Jesus4Lyf]

It doesn't have any player colour texture.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

Ah. Ok I see. Means some projectile works.

 

[Azlier]

Like spears. Some spears have team color.

>There's no overlap. That's just a texture with two colours?
Oh, i didn't meant the wisp in the screenshot.
I just attached the screenshot due to the awesomeness of the texture...

This is a great find. I'm surprised I didn't stumble onto this myself, as I often use ConvertPlayerColor as a sort of 'playercolor array'.

[ljass]call SetUnitColor(u, ConvertPlayerColor(1337))[/ljass] Makes the unit colour whitish, and crashes occasionally. I'm guessing that all the very high ones will be white though. "Invalid Texture?" ^_^

Bet this becomes either
A: Some way to add viruses to maps
B: The next H2I

No really? I had no idea.

Maybe I'll take a screenshot when I come back.

Cool shit.

I wanna know more.

How these Convert natives work anyways?
Has anyone tried to do some nice return bug typecasting from integer to playercolor and other way around?

 

[UndeadDragon]

I wonder... Using this method, would it finally be possible to change a model's skin ingame?

It's possible anyway, isn't it?
Using the Mountain Giants tree-club thing.

> Has anyone tried to do some nice return bug typecasting from integer to playercolor and other way around?
I'm pretty sure that H2I(ConvertPlayerColor(1)) == 1.
Untested though.

I wonder if anything neat could come from typecasting the other Convert... functions.

Yea, Toadcop already released that one thigny that uses War Club ability to change models skin ingame.

I was just thinking that maybe those Convert thingies are fucked up, and return some random values and thats why this everything works only sometimes.

If someone could find some way to do this shit without crashing, it would be quite cool.

 

[UndeadDragon]

Oh, I didn't realise there was already a method to change skins >.<

 

[Narks]

Can someone tell me where to find the War Club skin change thing?

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Naturally, this gets approved. Lots of tasty research in this thread on the topic. :thup:

I edited the first post to be a bit more exact with the findings...
