Trail of Fire Ability

[Taco]

I thought there was an ability that leaves a trail of fire behind the unit as it walks around, but I can't seem to find it. I thought it was Illidan's ability as well.

Is there such an ability or am I thinking of something else?

^Use that if your thinking of the Sorceress' Fire Walk ability from DiablO II.

u mean when illiden walk, some fire will follow his foot steps, yeah?
but...i think that's just some doodad...it's not ability, i dont know am i right or not but that's what i know

i think its part of the model, those are the footsteps he leave behind, just like how meat wagons leave tracks where they move. and i think its part of the model because the footprints/tracks change with the model, theres no ability that does it and theres no value in the unit where you can set its foot steps, the foot steps just come with whatever model you're using.

Indeed (Illidan's footprints are part of his model or something to that amount), but it just so happens, for convenience, I believe Blizzard actually has a flaming footprint MODEL somewhere. Obviously, wherever you place it, you'll see a glowing Illidan footprint that never disappears (unless you trigger it). No, they have not done the same for the Undead Meat Wagon, for those wondering.

yea they MUST have his foot print model somewhere, because you see it all over the place in the NE campaign on TFT when you're trying to track illidan, and those footprints do not fade away, they are permanent, so its not actually his foot prints its just the model of his foot prints

Illidan's footprints are a doodad. You can find them in the doodad pallette under "cinematic." They are named "Footprints Demonic"

It doen't have nothing with the model, since if you select it in Unit Palette and browse it's "Walking" animation you wouldn't find the footsteps in it.
The mainly difference between "Illidan" and "Illidan (Evil)" in Object Editor is that the second has the Channel ability. But removing it don't remove the footsteps, so it has nothing to do with this.

I'll try my best in this quest

Erm, then explain to me why the Meat Wagon has the trail behind it, the Crypt Lord model has the stomping sound AND footprints behind it, and WHY when I add the Illidan model file to any unit, he has the footprints in game?

It's the model.

The reason you don't see it on the Previewer, is becuase it's not part of the ANIMATION, it's from the MODEL.

Yeh its part of the model.
Its a little thing called event objects.
Its a small line of text in the mdl that calls up other models. They only show when the model is used. It's like death animations(most are a blood splat) and some birth(nigth elf, maybe undead) animations.

See http://www.wc3campaigns.com/showthread.php?t=54977 though you won't understand most of it unless you already model.

Lol, thanks for not reading my post. Look in the edittor and you'll see that (even though you may be right and the model may call the footprint model) you can also set Illidan's footprints as a doodad...
