red lifedrain lightning

[madd_999]

i am looking for a red drain life lighning effect..
which i can use in the trigger editor..

i searched wc3c and the hive..
but i coudnt find one there..
(the effect skins on the hive was empty somehow)

is there annyone who has one that does not overwrite the standard drain?
so i can use it togheter with the normal drain life and the drain mana lightning..

and if nobody has it..
where can i find the drain blp file withing the mpq so i can edit it myself??
i tryed to find it but my search dint come up with anny result..

Why not just use the Finger of Death lightning, which is red ?

Hmm u can create it via trigger or take a look @ this...

@Igor_Z

Nah np, i was trying to find something like that 2 mounts ago ... One guy gaved me this link. So now i have it bookmarked ^^

 

[madd_999]

aah oke...


just now i only need to find oud how to use this in the trigger editor..
to create it..

What i'd do is make a lightning variable and set it's coloring to something that is red. perhaps 100/100/255 Then I'd create it when needed.

Yeah, use triggers to set its coloring to 1/0/0. Much easier that coloring it thru an imported .slk.

I'd use the imported .slk only if you want to use a custom noise or duration.

 

[Igor_Z]

You don't need to use triggers... U just read the link i gave and u import a .slk file that will make ur own lightning effect. Read it and u'll see that u don't need triggers

 

[madd_999]

Igor_Z is right..

found the drain life and drain mana lightnin blp path in the .slk..
so i extracted it with powerMPQ.. converted it to .TGA.. opend it in adobe photoshop and toyed as long with it until it was red..

still cant use it in the triger create lightning from point X to Y..

i replaced teh drain life from the dark ranger with this lightning and its exactly what i wanted..
