spiked carapace

i want a hero to have spiked carapace comming out of them, like they have the actual look of the spikes, i tried jus giving it them as an ability but the spikes dont show, i also tried adding the spiked carapace model through the abilities editor by choosing it from the buffs group, but still dont work, im sure it can be done,

anyone know how?

Try modiffying Orb of darkness ability, delete the missile art, change the art - target to the spikes, then change art - caster atachment or something (Where it says weapon) to origin or chest.

ok i tried that but it doent work, the hero just throws spikes everytime he shoots, i follwed exactky what you said im pretty sure i did it right,
i did see it done before on another map but i cant view it, any other ideas on how to do it?

If the effect is no permanent, then I don't know how to help you.

i always thought spiked caparice was built into the crypt lord model like the metamorph DH.

ok i been playing around with models and i noticed that spiked carapce ability actually works properly without being edited or anything, on the zerling model only, the spikes show up in him and everything, looks cool, but anyone know why this is and if possible other models could somehow get it aswell?

im thinking the model has to be a four legged type thing since ive seen a crypt fiend with spikes

if u know about modelling and skinning, u will b able to do it on any unit just by creating the different stances and using triggers, but, as i know next to nothing about modelling and skinning, except what you can do with it, I can't help u much. U should ask in the modelling/skinning forum(s).

There is another Way to add spikes w/o using spike carapace.
All you have to do is add special effect to units "chest" and special effect Spiked Barracade This makes spikes go all around the unit it looks pretty cool.

emote_sweat ... rofl

lmao hahah that is soo cool, can you make it so that the spikes are conencted to the unit? spiked carapace sheep wud be cool

you used special Effect add you have to do it like this take Immolation and make casterart the spike barraced.
