Carrion Swarm effect

[Tiber]

I'm trying to change Carrion Swarm's black fog effect, you know, when it hits enemies? Yeah, nothing works. I changed every art, buff and effect field and nothing works (changing Art - Special doesn't work). I can't even get rid of it. I'll probably end up using Breath of Fire, but is it impossible to change the black fog?

the black fog.... just remove art special, or use shockwave >.>, if your saying the black fog behind the bats.... its impossible.. unless new model xD

For gods sake, read the first post.

that is why, I suggested a different solution.

Try using Crushing Wave as a substitution

It has the same data as Carrion Swarm

You need to change the data in the original Carrion Swarm spell.
Yes, this is why we need to thank Blizzard

@Tiber, after you change the Art - Special you also need to change the Art - Special Attachment Point. "attachment point", you know, origin, chest or head...

Yeah, doesn't work. But I'll try Crushing Wave.

EDIT: Just tried Crushing Wave, and the black fog is back even though the only change I did was make the ability a hero ability.

Import a model without any graphics, and use the custom path Abilities\Spells\Undead\CarrionSwarm\CarrionSwarmDamage.mdx to replace the usual Carrion Swarm graphics.

I've attached a model you can use. It has no graphics and no sound events like CarrionSwarmDamage.mdx has. If you want a special sound when the effect hits a unit, name it and I can put it in for you.

Wow, that actually worked. Thanks. But me wanting to remove the fog was just the first step. I want to change the effect to Objects\Spawnmodels\NightElf\EntBirthTarget\EntBirthTarget.mdl
It's an effect in Spawned Effects group. Better yet, if you can extract the death part from Abilities\Weapons\IllidanMissile\IllidanMissile.mdl so I can use that, all the better.
Of course if this request seems too great, or you lack the experience, there is really no problem. I can use different effects.

Created from scratch. It should be the same as the death part of IllidanMissile.mdl just with height 70, so it won't be created on the ground.
