Make a hero explode?

[Dinowc]

I just tried making a hero unit explode and he just plays his death animation, while it works on a normal unit...

so is it possible to make a hero explode? (blood spilling around)

Simply add a an effect at the location of the exploding unit (in this case a hero). Tack on blood splurts, and an uber splat (the marks left on the ground from building destruction, ultimate's like earthquake, or blood mages flame strike).

Hide the hero death animation so they don't dissipate (when they go see through and float upwards - not an issue if its using undead hero dissipate graphics since I think their all skull symbols instead of representation of the hero).

Be sure that the hero death animation is toggled back on, aswell as make sure the uber splats are properly removed. If you do a search in the tutorial repository for "Uber splats" there should be info on how to properly use them without leaks.

the problem is I'm doing it for an abomination hero and I want his explosion to be at exact size as the abomination, otherwise it would look weird

you know that abomination has a special explosion effect

I wanna know how they did it in Pudge Wars?

even if they are heroes, they still explode...
