Waygate with tree model -> white texture

[Solu9]

I'm trying to create a tree which has the waygate ability. So the obvious thing to do was to change the Waygate model on the Waygate unit to a tree. Im not using the <base> tree model since it wont show anything then. So I', using variation 1. It works to the degree that the unit shows a tree. But the tree has no texture and is all white. Can this be fixed?

No.
The trees use special models which share their textures. As such you cannot use them for anything but destructibles, since you can only set a specific texture for those.

if you really want to use some kind of a tree either pick a nightelven building or search on the internet for a custom tree model.

Alright. Then I won't keep on trying Thanks

What an easy bypass could be is making an actual tree doodad, place it on a waygate, then have the waygate have no pathing texture and 100% transperancy.

That was an interesting approach. What I did was downloading a tree model and used that as the Waygate model. But with your suggestion I could "hide" the Waygate trees among normal trees. Very nice.

the barrens indestructable tree has its own model and texture, can be used for a unit, but it may not suit ur map (btw if its meant to be secret, trigger the move, coz pathfinding includes waygates)

you could download a custom model of a tree, one that is similar to the trees used in your map, im sure someone has created one
