How do I make a spell have a different color?

[BoterhaM]

Hi folks! I'm pretty noob in the wc3editor so I got another question for you!

I want a spell that's based of Chain Lighting, but instead of the blue color, I want it to be yellow. How do I do this?

Is it possible? Thanks for helping guys!

Yes, it is. If you got photoshop, just search on the file in the warcraft mpq with your lightning data, change the color in photoshop and implement it in your map. Bum! Yellow lightning.

Or you could trigger the whole spell and then change the color manually.

i think he means something like this:

Untitled Trigger 003
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to 'YourChainLightning'
    Actions
        Lightning - Create a lightning effect Chain Lightning - Primary (Position of (Casting unit)) (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        Lightning - Change (Last created lightning effect) color to 1.00 85.00 0.00 1.00
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Lightning - Destroy (Last created lightning effect)

this is not mui and contains some leaks.

this is really easy... you can change the color of lightning to any color you want it.. change the width, height, transperency, etc...
you need a file called lightningdata.slk, its an excel file

the spell is shadow burst, it is being used in that spell... the file is imported in the map... you can edit the values...
there was a small tutorial on that file... can't seem to find it... its on this site somewhere
