Darn You Darn You Roots

With spell editor how do I remove the roots effect from entangling roots? I want to make a spell called lightning Cage that does what roots does but with lightning. Or should I edit a different spell?

you may be able to edit it by opening the spell and selecting your abilty than finding the part where it says target attachment and replacing that with whatever you would like. but this may not work tho. works with some spells but not wiht others. i hate it.

I did that but there is no roots attachment to delete

lol well yea than it would actually take some model editing or something like that which i'm not sure exactly how to do. sorry. base it off another spell that targets a unit than use triggers for the rest.

You could do it with triggers that creat the special effect you want on the target unit and pause it for a set amount of time.

Extract NightElfAbilityFunc.txt from war3x.mpq . Search for EntanglingRootsTarget.mdl . Change that line to point to the MDL you want to show up as the effect and then import the modified text file into your map as Units\NightElfAbilityFunc.txt

Fixed it I just based it off Storm Bolt instead

thanx oinker that is very helpful to me as well. ;)
