Ok voodoo spirits..

how would i manage to change the look of the bugs [i'm too lazy to look]
is it missle art?

 

[Ghan]

Actually, no.
The bugs are actually units.
Though, you are talking about the ability that's like Locust Swarm?
There's actually a unit called "Locust".
You need to change the unit that the ability uses.

 

[DhAoS[ARRC]]

[yes i'm talking about the abillity that's like locust swarm] mmm...ok i'll look into it

so basically i have to make a dummy unit that doesn't look like a locust?

 

[Ghan]

> so basically i have to make a dummy unit that doesn't look like a locust?

Yep. That's pretty much it.

 

[DhAoS[ARRC]]

But since locust is already a unit couldn't i just edit it's model to what i want it to be ?

Sure.
I just prefer to keep all default units the same.

 

[DhAoS[ARRC]]

mmm speaking of defaults, ok if i make a copy of an abillity and don't change the default and make another copy of the default will the first copy influence the other like the original does a copy?

 

[Ghan]

The only thing that will happen would be conflict of the Order Ids if you give one unit both abilities.

 

[waaaks!]

if u looked at the vodoo spirits, theres a field where it points a unit, like locust....
to change the model, then change the locust model to ur liking

or

create a unit with the locust ability, and go to vodoo spirits and change the unit pointed which is locust, to ur newly made unit

Ok, what matters is this.

Secenerio 1: Default Changed

If you make a spell base off the Default from the "Create Custom Ability" button. The default will be displayed when u select the ability, the most is the name changed, but the other details of the spell will be based of the original Default.

Scenerio 2 : Default Changed, Create a new spell by copy the Changed Default and pasting it

This method will direct "Copy" and "Paste" the spell, with the modified parts. Hope it issint too tough to be understooded. =p

 

[DhAoS[ARRC]]

ok what i'm trying to say about defaults is if i copy and paste a default and do another one will the default have any direct affect to them [and if i'm understanding somatic right it doesnt?] cause i have a carrion swarm made into crushing wave and an ice wave abillity that shoots a frost nova and slows units that it hits. but if i change the default it changes both spells :| but i did do make new custom abillity. so idk

 

[Ghan]

Copy and Paste is the same as creating a new ability based off of an ability.
And it will only cause you problems if you give a unit both copied abilities of the same ability, because it will try to cast them at the same time.

 

[DhAoS[ARRC]]

No no no no that's not what i'm saying >< i'm talking about the abillities themselves i havent' even mentioned putting them on a unit yet XD
