Quest exclamation mark

[Tawnttoo]

When I tried to make an ability based off Item Armor Bonus (+1) to create an exclamation mark effect so I could avoid storing them into variables, the effect doesn't show ingame. To my knowledge, the doodads with <Base> in their name, such as Bones <Base>, won't show ingame. Is there any way of using the exclamation mark effect in an ability?

Give an invisible spellbook to the unit with an aura that target's NONE and you put the effect on it to be an excamation mark on the caster effect

 

[Tawnttoo]

Nope, that didn't work either...

It would seem that any effect from the "Extra" tab doesn't work as attachments... strange.

 

[mapguy]

ok, try addin it via trigger.

set unitWithExclamation[real_number] = your unit
set specialSFX[real_number] = last created special effect.
set real_number = real_number + 1

something happen

destroy specialSFX[index of unit]

I'm trying to avoid triggering this.

as far as i remember these effects cannot be attached via abilities, sorry mate.

It is sad when things are more complicated than we want.

Hmm. Is the exclamation mark an effect of an ability, like mass armor aura to nearby units? Or just an effect?

Also, if yes... where did you attach it to the unit?

 

[Tawnttoo]

Just an effect, set as 'Art - Target' and 'overhead'. Tested with an abomination effect, there's nothing wrong. But I guess I'll just have to trigger this. Thanks for the help anyways.

You can use the ability 'Sphere'.

Much better.

path of special effects in "Extra" tab don't have .mdx => they didn't work.

e.g: Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe

just add .mdx like:

Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdx

and it will work.
