Babuu	Hi again.... another question emote_sweat I want an ability comparable to the entangle ability of the keeper but: i want that it looks like the web skill of the crypt fiends... how can i do that...can anybody help me ?

Eriond	Yup, I'm pretty sure it's easy, let me check it out, hold on a second... Ah here we are. Oh wait. This could be a little tricky. You'd have to use triggers. Why do you want entangle to look like web? Why not just make web target air and ground units?

Babuu	Because web is autocast ...but thats the smaller problem... if u make the web skill a hero skill u can't make it with levels( or can u ?)....i hope u understand me... ( i need to get better in english )

Eriond	Levels work for me... But remember, when you make web a hero skill, you have to click off, then re-select it, so it will refresh the options.. that's probably what you were missing. As for autocast, I'm pretty sure you can disable somehow.... let me take a look at it, I'll get back to you.

MaliceDR	Base it off of Ensnare and change the graphics to that of Web.

Eriond	You can't, I looked. You can only change the missle, not the actual thing.

SpectreReturns	Use the core text files to change its effect art. (i wonder how many times ive used this as a reply to a question?)

Eriond	lol, I think this is what he meant, but I don't know why you would do it that way..... Best wait for him to reply, because I'm not sure if thta's what he's talking about.

WC3D-Mick	Ok, ok, Here is a map with the web spell in it. It is not auto cast as you wanted, and you do not have to change the 'core' mpq archive .txt neither. Just used the item spell web 'spider silk' and no auto cast and changed it into a hero ability.

Babuu	sry but there is the same problem.... also if u make it a hero skill u can't make different skill levels.... look for ur self.... ahhhhh i need help ^^

Eriond	You can, you need to change the amount of levels before you see anything different. The default is 1. Trust me, you can do it, but you have to click off and click back on before you can see the new options. Trust me, it's there.

Babuu	hmm... thats strange... now i can change the amount of levels.... but i swear ... i couldn't change it before.... ( or am i mad...ahhh i am going CrAzY ) ...thx a lot ^^ ... my Zerg Queen is nearly rdy ^^
