Hi.
I created some weapons models and i attach them to units using object ability.
Everything works fine exept the glow which is always red :s

Does anyone know how to fix this ?

I did but didn't find effective answer.
But it seems to work in the demo map attached to the link you gave me. Thanks.

But i don't understand why, because i did something similar, creating a custom ability with glow but when i gave the object with custom ability to the unit the glow was red :s

What is the difference ? the basic ability used ?

I made more tests finally it Doesn't work properly.

IT WORKS ONLY WITH FIXED PLAYER COLORS. :(

What i need to do if i want to be player 2 (blue) and color green for example ?
At the moment the glow will be blue but i want it to be green.

Did you use the Life Regeneration (something) ability as the base ability for attaching the hero glow? If not, the Hero Glow (or anything else with Team Color you want to attach) will not change based on the player color.

yes i did i copied it from the demo map.

The Glow is indeed linked to player color but for fixed forces.

In my case it will be blue if i'm player 2 but the problem is that i selected when i launched the map, green color, so my unit is green but the glow is blue because i'm player 2 and i really want to be able to select my color at game start and having the good color for the glow.

Huh. Haven't looked at the test map, so I'll take your word for it.

Unfortunately, if you're using the right ability, I don't know why it wouldn't be working. If you can't use Fixed Player Settings, then meh. :/

For glow i always use triggers to attach because glow is simple, i only recommend using the weapons for object ability.

I mean, you should attach the glow via triggers and attach the weapons using an object ability.

So it means at least 12 different glows ?

It means "Special Effect -- Add special effect on unit" and "Unit -- Change team colour to (owner of unit)".
