How do I change the Wisp model on the Entangled Mine when gathering?

[Rarktor]

It is a neat effect but my customized Entangled Gold Mine isn't gathered from by Wisps, so i need to switch them out as i did to the Wisp itself.

I think those wisps are part of the actual model, so it would not be easy to just replace them.

I edited the Entangled Gold Mine's model by re-skinning it already but didn't see it in the mdl file.

Those wisps are not the actual models, but separate.

SharedModels\EntangleWisp.mdl

There's probably a custom model somewhere.
Look around here and on The Hive Workshop.

Ok, now I have the model I want to replace SharedModels\EntangleWisp.mdl with, but how do I replace it without overwriting the Night Elves' wisp? I can't find the option to change the model in any of the abilities associated with gathering gold from my custom mine.

Well, you could edit the map's MPQ maybe...

Or, you can trigger it. You detect how many treants are in the mine, and you attach your model to the mine.
The mine obviously has 5 attach points for those wisps, but I don't know the string... You could try it with sprite,first and things like that I guess.
However I think there are model editors or viewers that tell you what are the points.

They really don't want you screwing with Night Elf gold gathering do they? I guess I'll be triggering it then. Thanks!

I dont know if this is of any use but i have fixed a entangledgoldmine model were there isnt any wisps showing when gathering gold.
