How do you make a unit have flaming footprints like Illidan?

can you do it in the unit editor or is it part of Illidan's model? (don't see how that would work though):bgrun:

These foot prints are actually a Doodad (cinematic section) called "Footprints Demonic". I am unsure on how to add them as i haven't tried it yet, but maybe thru sfx trigger actions, or spell editing (though that last one could be uneasy)

It's not really part of Illidan's model, but his model does effect it. If you make a custom Illidan and just change the model, to like a peasent for example, the footprints aren't made. If you take a different unit and add Illidan's model the are made.

If you want footprints for a unit like a peasent you can create a trigger that creates a special effect at the unit every so often. Just make a looping trigger that this for an action:

Actions
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of Bad Spear Thrower 0113 <gen>) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\IllidanFootprint\IllidanSpawnFootPrint0.mdl
Wait 1.00 seconds
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of Bad Spear Thrower 0113 <gen>) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\IllidanFootprint\IllidanSpawnFootPrint1.mdl
Wait 1.00 seconds


You can also use this for things like making a unit leave a trailing of dying bodies.8)

The Doodadic footprints that ChrydGod referred to are premanent like a rock or haywagon. The ones I explained will dissipate and look authentic.

For many functions of WC III I believe there are hidden triggers that always run unless overwritten. So there is just a premanent trigger linked with Illidan's model.

footprints are a unit property that can only be modified in single player games as of 1.06. I dont THINK i can let you edit them for multiplayer games. But I will test it to see if it will work.

I see...
