starfall prob

aight....i made starfall different, instead of stars and **** i made the burning oil missiles, but when i cast it they dont fall down on the enemies, they just kinda **** around the bottom of them and then just explode, how to i make them fall onto the enemies, i have this problem with blizzard too. plz help.

thx guys for the help.........................emote_confused

hmm.. I think its the model animation that doesn't come from above. I might be wrong but I think thats why it doesn't fall from the sky.
take the rain of fire model or something

You need to use an effect that falls from sky in the very animation. I'm using Infernal's landing to do the trick.

Hey I am tryign to work with starfall as well, but here is my problem. I wanna make it so its sheep fall, now I exported the Nightelfabilityfunc.txt file from the War3Patch.mpq and went down to where it had the following:


// Starfall
[AEsf]
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNStarfall.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNStarfall.blp
Buttonpos=3,2
Researchbuttonpos=3,0
Casterart=
Order=starfall

// Starfall life drain
[AEsd]
Targetart=Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Starfall\StarfallTarget.mdl
Targetattach=origin

[XEsf]
Effectart=Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Starfall\StarfallCaster.mdl

// beefy starfall - campaign spell
[AEsb]
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNStarfall.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNStarfall.blp
Buttonpos=3,2
Researchbuttonpos=3,0
Casterart=
Order=starfall

// Faerie Fire

Now I tryed changeing the "Targetart=Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Starfall\StarfallTarget.mdl" to "Targetart=Abilities\Spells\Human\Polymorph\PolyMorphFallingSheepArt.mdl" but that didnt work. I also tryed adding the code [XEsf] to the Abilitydata.slk file and then changeing the art-effect in the editor but that too didnt work, though it did add a second effect to when you start starfall which could be usefull for people who do custom spells. Anyhow somone please tell me what I am doing wrong! Thanks

You're trying to change the spell. Just do it via triggers and all the problems will be gone in notime.
