Refer me to a model

[keychup]

I need a blue model for an ability called LIGHT SCREEN.

Light Screen creates a barrier surrounding a point preventing units from walking in or out.

Spell Shield (Amulet) <Caster> [Abilities\Spells\Items\SpellShieldAmulet\SpellShieldCaster.mdl] or
Spirit Touch <Special> [Abilities\Spells\Undead\ReplenishMana\ReplenishManaCasterOverhead.mdl]?

I gave a unit the Spell Shield (Amulet) <Caster> model, and set its animation speed to 0% after a 0.25 second wait. It looks like this.

Useful idea on freezing Ability Models. Timing can be a problem though.

It's okay. I decided to use the Aura Buff (The small rings under the aura targets). I put 3 of them on top of each other at heights 0/200/400 so that the barrier looks like a prison. In addition, I added a visual animation so that enemy players can see the rings being put into place. The barrier wont block anything until the rings are in place so this gives players 1.5 seconds to get out of the way.

Sounds cool, would love to see it.

Basicly what i did is:

After hero casts:

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to 2, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 R - Light Screen (Visual Effect) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at zz_PointA facing 270.00 degrees
    • Animation - Change (Last created unit)&#039;s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 50.00% transparency
    • Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to ((Real((Integer A))) x 200.00) at 400.00

A dummy unit is also created to cast a dummy spell which has a 1.5 second casting time and a 10 second channeling duration.

After 1.5 seconds the dummy unit starts the effect of the :

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to 2, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 R - Light Screen (Visual Effect) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at zz_PointA facing 270.00 degrees
    • Unit - Add a (2.50 + (2.50 x (Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)))))) second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to ((Real((Integer A))) x 200.00) at 4000.00

So the first 3 rings slowly touch the ground like in a cage match. Then when the last 3 dummy units are created they will overlap the first 3 and add more thickness to the color.

Very big, but an interesting idea. Looks useful.
