Change Blizzard Spell

Do you guy know away I could change Blizzard missile into something else. I try it and changed the missile, but when test the spell it is still same picture of FALLING ICE, is there a way to change it into FALLING LIGHTING or POISON ?(same problem with Rain of Fire)

you can't.
some time ago i a saw a post of somebody who knew how to change the model of starfall, but that wasen't apliable for the normal editor.

moza

thats supper basic peaple who the heck is moderating this forum. all u do is u have to open up the human spell data slk thing find blizzard and change it to a diffrent missle

yea what he said but its exactly same for starfall heres what i made in a couple of seconds changing the TXT files if u need any help please feel free to pm me

Ok, ill say the same thing ive been saying. You can either edit the slks, or you can copy the graphic you want and put it into the map renamed as the blizzard graphic. Either way works, but if you are using the blizzard graphic for anything else, it will effect those too.

What should i do if i want to create a new spell based on Blizzard and don't want to change the original one?:saddened:

make a custom copy in the worldedit if you are using the tft editor. if you are not, open the slk and copy the entire line for blizzard, and change the codes

is there any way to use non-rain art for blizzard and still make it rain down? if i use anything but blizzard or starfall or infernal etc. art then it just animates on the ground..

well that would require some model's check the model forum can find some nice models that rain if i know what you mean (fall from sky right) but if that dont work maybe u could request a model or something falling down?(i dont model so dont ask me:D )

Actually, blizzard's raining shards are animated to "rain." Other things that rain are starfall, inferal birth, and rain of fire, just to name a few. Also, theres a new doodad that is basicly rocks falling down.

Really? New doodpad where rock falling? WHERE? WHERE?

This doodad is called "Dust" (Doodads - Cinematic - Dust)
Doodads\Cinematic\CavernDust\CavernDust.mdx
But this model has 2 "stand" animations
stand - only falling dust
and
stand - 2 - falling dust and rocks.

Ohhh...That ROCK!...But how do you put it as Blizzard Spell?

1)The first way is to change original spell
Open War3x.mpq with WinMPQ and extract file Units\HumanAbilityFunc.txt
then find this text

// Blizzard
[AHbz]
Art=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Researchart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Buttonpos=0,2
Researchbuttonpos=0,0
Casterart=
Order=blizzard

[BHbd]
Buffart=ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNBlizzard.blp
Targetart=Abilities\Spells\Other\FrostDamage\FrostDamage.mdl

[XHbz]
Effectart=Abilities\Spells\Human\Blizzard\BlizzardTarget.mdl *)
Effectsoundlooped=BlizzardLoop
Effectsound=BlizzardWave

*) - change it to Doodads\Cinematic\CavernDust\CavernDust.mdl

Save this file and then imprt into your map with import manager using custom path "Units\HumanAbilityFunc.txt

2)If you don't want to change original spell there is only one another way - use triggers or Jass

WHOA!!! That sound kind of complicate isn't it ? It would be amazing for u to remember every single detail.:D
But I dont think I would be as good as u r. Is there a shorter way to do this ?( cause I just afraid I might mess up the process)
