Oh man i've been working on this thing for a week now and i can't find a solution... i mean i found the solutions to many problems like a darkness effect... a special vision for certain players... some other effects... but this one bothers me so much. I'm making an effect in my map that at night some players would see very dark (totally black) and only torches or other omnilight sources would help them see... the problem is it was suposed everything to become black but the player color of the hero doesn't :(.
If i let it be normal it would look like this:

And i then tried to make the player color black but it becomes an ugly looking grey... like this:

I have no idea how to solve this... i mean i tried to use unit models thinking the hero glow was to blame but it seems it happens the same thing... and i wouldn't like to use "no player color" unit models because those in the editor are just fine... i just have to find a way to solve this (And i am TOTALLY SURE that it is possible because i've seen it in a map).

Code: 
Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 100.00% transparency

I already thought of that one... it would make the entire unit black... no matter the darkness effect and it would look ugly because when the hero approaches a light source (example: torch) it would still be black...:(
thanks for the reply tough

tommerbob, yes i did try but as you have seen in the screenshot it becomes a grey color (don't know why) :(

as for your idea, shadow, i don't see your point... i mean my darkness effect appears allover the map and in game some players will put over the map some torches or other light sources... so that at night only what's near those may be seen... yet if i make at night every unit to have the vertex color black... it will make them black even if they approach a torch or something (it will look very weird)...
Your idea would work but i would have to make a triggers that activates itself every second (or even faster) and pick any unit on the map, if that one is in X range of an light source make it's color normal and if it isn't than make it black. This kind of triggers would be to laggy...
Please someone check the map Trap Brawler(get it on hiveworkshop) and use arena number 4 (the one with mountains and rocks)... you will see exactly what i'm tryng to do :(

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
